Best Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting plans suitable for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To select the most proper shared hosting service for your web site, you need to reckon what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Dividends

The most relevant choice for small scale sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of web site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which reduces the total price per individual considerably. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one hosting vendor to another, delivering different amounts of hard disk storage space and monthly traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can buy a package that will have the features your web portal actually requires. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or end up with a small size plan that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at BrentHost 'www.brenthost.com', offer a vast array of shared hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business pages that even include pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you commence with a low-end account and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end account requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Drawbacks

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Given sites, chiefly online shops, require applications to be installed on the server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can activate only software that does not need server root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web pages that require complete root-level access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual web server is a software simulation of a dedicated server and it runs in precisely the same way.

Virtual Web Servers

Both platforms traditionally include server root access and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server packages contain different specifications depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual server web hosting package has guaranteed data storage, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short spans of time in case there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A virtual web hosting server is simpler to manipulate as it comes with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, explore statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be utilized by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Servers

Still, certain web hosting companies provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they implement dedicated web hosting server management operations instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional service.
