Best Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting plans suitable for different web portals in terms of the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To choose the most proper shared hosting service for your website, you need to estimate what server-side software it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Pluses

The most relevant alternative for small online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of web hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which reduces the total cost per user radically. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one hosting company to another, delivering different amounts of storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mail address account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can pay for a plan that will have the resources your web portal actually requires. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not avail of, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at Techtrum Technologies, offer a vast assortment of shared hosting packages appropriate for private or small business websites that even include pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low-cost plan and you require more features, moving to a more feature-rich plan involves just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Disadvantages

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Given web pages, chiefly web storefronts, request software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can activate only software platforms that do not demand complete root-level access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that request full root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it acts in strictly the same manner.

Virtual Servers

Both services commonly give server root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the user, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting accounts come with diverse features depending on what the hosting provider has to offer. A VPS server account includes guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be expanded for brief intervals of time on condition that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A private virtual server is simpler to run as it includes a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by competent customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, some hosts offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they implement dedicated hosting server management operations instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.
