Quality Shared Hosting

There are various sorts of shared hosting solutions appropriate for different web sites in regard to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To select the most adequate shared hosting service for your website, you need to judge what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Website Hosting - Positive Signs

The most proper alternative for small sized sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per client significantly. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one provider to another, furnishing different amounts of data storage and monthly traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy an account that will provide the features your web site really requires. You will not need to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small scale package that cannot shelter the site. We, at Green Lit Hosting, offer a vast array of shared hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even provide pre-activated script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you begin with a basic plan and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a more advanced account involves just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Minuses

A weak side of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate new software. Given web portals, particularly online stores, require software applications to be available on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate solely software that does not request complete root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For websites that request complete server root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual web server is a software imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it performs in absolutely the same manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both environments normally give complete server root access and can be restarted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting plans involve different features depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A private virtual server web hosting account contains guaranteed disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short periods of time in case there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to manage as it arrives with a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by competent users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosts offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they implement hosting server management procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional service.
