Best Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting accounts suitable for different web pages when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To select the most adequate shared hosting service for your web site, you need to judge what server-side software it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Assets

The most suitable alternative for small online portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web space hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall cost per user significantly. There are various web hosting plans differing from one hosting vendor to another, delivering different quotas of server storage and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy an account that will have the resources your website in fact demands. You will not need to pay a lot for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small size package that cannot host the web site. We, at Vitohosting, offer an enormous choice of shared hosting accounts suitable for private or small business web portals that even provide pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you begin with a low priced plan and you need more system resources, moving to a better plan requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Sides

A weakness of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Certain online portals, mainly web stores, request software applications to be activated on the web server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting account, you can install only software programs that do not demand root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that require complete root-level access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS is a software imitation of a dedicated web server and it functions in an absolutely identical way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions typically provide root-level access and can be restarted through a software platform by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Much like the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting plans comprise diverse specs depending on what the hosting supplier offers. A VPS plan includes guaranteed server storage, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be extended for brief spells of time in case there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A VPS server is simpler to manage as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by qualified customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, given web hosts offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they execute web hosting server management tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra service.
