Top Shared Web Hosting

There are various varieties of shared web hosting services suitable for different web pages in terms of the system resources or the shared web hosting environment they require. To pick the most suitable shared web hosting service for your web portal, you must evaluate what server-side software applications it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may have to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Virtues

The most adequate choice for small sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall cost per person significantly. There are various web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting supplier to another, supplying different amounts of data storage and traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain an account that will offer the features your site indeed demands. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot host the website. We, at sknhosting, offer a great choice of shared web hosting solutions suitable for private or small business portals that even include pre-activated script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you start with a low grade plan and you require more resources, moving to a more feature-rich account demands just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Weaknesses

A downside of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software. Specific websites, particularly online storefronts, request applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software that does not request full root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that need complete root-level access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual web server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in absolutely the same way.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both platforms typically offer root-level access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the user, independently from the hosting supplier. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server web hosting accounts include different characteristics based on what the hosting supplier offers. A VPS web server plan contains guaranteed web space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be boosted for brief spans of time provided that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A VPS is simpler to run as it involves a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be utilized by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, certain web hosting firms offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they complete server management tasks instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra option.

Prior To Deciding...

Opting for the top hosting plan is crucial as it can affect the stable functioning of a online portal. Before choosing an account, compare the pros and cons, survey thoroughly all the prerequisites for the website to work properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
