Top Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different web sites in regard to the resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To select the most relevant shared hosting service for your website, you need to judge what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be covered.

Shared Web Hosting - Strong Sides

The most appropriate choice for small sized web sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of web space hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the overall cost per user markedly. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting supplier to another, furnishing different quotas of server storage space and web traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can obtain a package that will offer the specs your online portal really demands. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small package that cannot host the site. We, at Free Hosting, offer a wide collection of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business portals that even come with pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low priced package and you require more resources, upgrading to a better package takes only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Points

A weak side of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Certain websites, above all online stores, request applications to be present on the web server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software that does not require complete server root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For online portals that need server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated solution and it runs in exactly the same way.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both environments typically give root access and can be restarted via a software program by the user, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting server accounts sport different specs based on what the hosting provider offers. A virtual web server hosting plan includes guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be extended for brief intervals of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is simpler to handle as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by knowledgeable users.

Dedicated Servers

However, given companies provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they implement hosting server management tasks instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra option.
