Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are various kinds of shared web hosting plans appropriate for different web pages in terms of the system resources or the shared web hosting platform they demand. To pick the most optimal shared web hosting service for your online portal, you must evaluate what server-side software applications it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Positive Aspects

The most relevant choice for small size sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per individual radically. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting supplier to another, delivering different amounts of hard disk storage and traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for an account that will provide the features your site really requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot host the web site. We, at CyanHosts, offer a huge collection of shared web hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even offer pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you start with a low priced account and you require more resources, moving to a more feature-rich package demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Minuses

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Given online portals, above all online storefronts, demand applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared hosting solution, you can install only software that does not request complete root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that request full root access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated server and it functions in an absolutely identical manner.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both environments typically give complete root-level access and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server hosting accounts involve diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting company has to offer. A private virtual hosting server package has guaranteed disk storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for short spells of time provided that there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A private virtual hosting server is simpler to manipulate as it comprises a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by experienced clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting vendors offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they perform dedicated server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional service.
