Top Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting plans appropriate for different web portals in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To choose the most proper shared hosting service for your website, you have to access what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be met.

Shared Web Hosting - Positive Sides

The best option for small scale web portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of web space hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall cost per customer seriously. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one hosting provider to another, providing different quotas of hard disk storage and bandwidth, different email box account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can obtain a plan that will have the specs your web portal indeed demands. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small size account that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at WebLakay, offer an extensive choice of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business sites that even offer pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you commence with a low priced account and you need more features, upgrading to a more powerful plan takes just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Inconveniences

A weakness of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate new software programs. Some web portals, especially online storefronts, require applications to be available on the server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can activate only software platforms that do not request full root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that demand root-level access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web server and it runs in absolutely the same way.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

Both services normally come with root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the user, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Similar to the shared hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server accounts sport different functionalities depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A virtual web hosting server plan offers guaranteed server storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be expanded for brief intervals of time provided that there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual server is simpler to run as it involves a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, monitor stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be used by competent users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, some hosting vendors offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they execute hosting server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.
