Best Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting plans suitable for different sites in regard to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the most adequate shared hosting service for your web portal, you must judge what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Website Hosting - Perks

The most optimal choice for small sized web portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the total price per client considerably. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one web hosting company to another, supplying different amounts of storage space and traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can purchase a package that will have the specs your web portal actually needs. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small scale account that cannot host the web portal. We, at Pepcube Web Hosting, offer a big selection of shared hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web pages that even come with pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you start with a cheaper account and you require more resources, moving to a better package involves just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Sides

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install additional software. Given web portals, especially online stores, require software applications to be available on the web server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software that does not need root-level access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For online portals that need server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it behaves in strictly the same way.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both services commonly give complete root-level access and can be restarted via a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server plans contain diverse specs based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS server account has guaranteed hard disk storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief intervals of time in case there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is using, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to manipulate as it ships with virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be utilized by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting vendors offer managed dedicated web server hosting services where they perform server administration assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra option.

Prior To Opting...

Settling on the top hosting plan is vital as it can affect the proper functioning of a site. Prior to choosing a package, weigh the pros and cons, inspect thoroughly all the preconditions for the web portal to perform properly, especially if it is script-driven.
