Best Shared Web Hosting

There are various types of shared web hosting accounts appropriate for different sites when it comes to the system resources or the shared web hosting environment they demand. To choose the most relevant shared web hosting service for your website, you must judge what server-side software programs it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Virtues

The most relevant choice for small sized web portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall price per user significantly. There are various web hosting plans varying from one company to another, delivering different amounts of data storage space and traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can get an account that will offer the resources your web page indeed needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot host the online portal. We, at ScioCore, offer a big selection of shared web hosting accounts suitable for private or small business pages that even provide pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a low priced package and you demand more features, moving to a more feature-rich plan involves only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Weak Points

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software platforms. Certain web portals, especially web storefronts, require software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate solely software that does not require full server root access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that request full root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A VPS hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it operates in exactly the same way.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both services typically provide full server root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the customer, independently from the web hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting server accounts come with different characteristics depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A VPS plan contains guaranteed data storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be boosted for short intervals of time in case there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual server is simpler to run as it involves a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be used by competent customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting corporations offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they implement dedicated hosting server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra option.

Before You Opt...

Settling on the top hosting package is vital as it can influence the proper work of a web portal. Before opting for a plan, compare the pros and cons, check completely all the preconditions for the web portal to run properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
