Top Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting plans suitable for different web pages in relation to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To select the best shared hosting service for your web page, you have to evaluate what server-side software applications it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be met.

Shared website hosting - Benefits

The most appropriate choice for small size web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the total price per individual substantially. There are different web hosting packages varying from one hosting vendor to another, offering different amounts of hard disk space and monthly traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can get a plan that will offer the specs your online portal in fact requires. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at cPanelX Hosting, offer a vast variety of shared hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web pages that even come with pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you start with a low grade account and you require more resources, upgrading to a high-end package requires just a click.

Shared Hosting - Inconveniences

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software platforms. Specific online portals, particularly online stores, request applications to be available on the server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate solely software programs that do not request full root access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For online portals that demand root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated server and it performs in an absolutely identical manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both services usually include root privileges and can be restarted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting packages comprise different functionalities based on what the web hosting company offers. A virtual private web server account has guaranteed server space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be boosted for short spells of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is simpler to administer as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by proficient users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, certain providers provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they complete dedicated web server administration tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra service.
