Best Shared Web Hosting

There are various types of shared web hosting plans appropriate for different sites in relation to the resources or the shared web hosting platform they require. To choose the most suitable shared web hosting service for your website, you need to estimate what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Benefits

The most suitable alternative for small sized web sites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per individual noticeably. There are diverse web hosting plans varying from one web hosting provider to another, furnishing different amounts of storage space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can buy a package that will have the specifications your web portal indeed requires. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot host the web page. We, at HostGaroo, offer a large assortment of shared web hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business web sites that even come with pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you begin with a basic package and you demand more resources, upgrading to a more powerful package takes just a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Disadvantages

A weakness of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Specific online portals, above all online shops, request applications to be activated on the server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can install solely software applications that do not require full root access.

VPSs and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that require server root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in strictly the same way.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both platforms usually provide full server root privileges and can be restarted through a software tool by the client, independently from the web hosting supplier. Much like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server plans sport different functionalities based on what the web hosting provider offers. A VPS web hosting plan offers guaranteed data storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short periods of time provided that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual hosting server is simpler to administer as it comes with virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be used by trained clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, given web hosting firms offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they perform dedicated hosting server management operations on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.
