Top Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting services appropriate for different web pages in terms of the resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To choose the most suitable shared hosting service for your web site, you have to judge what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be met.

Shared web hosting - Perks

The most appropriate alternative for small web portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per customer radically. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one host to another, offering different amounts of disk storage and bandwidth, different mail account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can buy an account that will have the features your web site indeed needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot shelter the web site. We, at BrainChild Hosting, offer an extensive variety of shared hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business websites that even provide pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a low grade plan and you demand more features, moving to a better package requires only a click.

Shared website hosting - Inconveniences

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Certain web pages, particularly web stores, request applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can activate only software programs that do not need root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that require server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual web server is a software simulation of a dedicated web server and it runs in a strictly identical manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both environments commonly offer complete root access and can be restarted via a software program by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Akin to the shared web hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server hosting plans sport different characteristics based on what the hosting vendor offers. A private virtual server account has guaranteed disk space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for short spans of time if there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A VPS is simpler to run as it involves a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by qualified clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, some hosts provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated web server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional upgrade.
