Top Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting services appropriate for different web portals in terms of the resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To select the most adequate shared hosting service for your web site, you have to estimate what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Dividends

The most proper choice for small sized web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of website hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total price per individual substantially. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web hosting firm to another, supplying different quotas of hard disk storage space and monthly traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase a plan that will offer the resources your online portal actually requires. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at CloudNovo, offer an enormous choice of shared hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web pages that even provide pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a low-end account and you need more resources, upgrading to a more advanced package demands only a click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Aspects

A drawback of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Given websites, above all online shops, require software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can activate only software that does not need complete root-level access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that require complete root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in an exactly identical way.

Virtual Web Servers

Both solutions traditionally give complete server root access and can be restarted via a software platform by the user, autonomously from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server packages sport different characteristics based on what the web hosting vendor offers. A virtual hosting server plan includes guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief stretches of time on condition that there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is using, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual server is simpler to cope with as it comes with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such an account would rather be resorted to by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Still, certain hosting vendors provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they perform hosting server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra option.
