Top Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting plans suitable for different websites in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the most relevant shared hosting service for your web site, you need to estimate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Upsides

The most proper choice for small size websites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall cost per individual drastically. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting provider to another, providing different quotas of web storage space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can get a plan that will have the specs your site indeed needs. You will not have to pay a lot for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small sized plan that cannot host the web portal. We, at Green Lit Hosting, offer a great collection of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even come with pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a low-cost plan and you demand more features, moving to a better package requires only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Sides

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software platforms. Specific web portals, particularly online shops, request software applications to be available on the web server for them to run, and with a shared hosting platform, you can install only software that does not request complete server root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that require complete root access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS web server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it acts in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Web Servers

Both environments traditionally include full server root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting server packages have diverse functionalities depending on what the hosting provider offers. A VPS server web hosting account contains guaranteed data space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be extended for short intervals of time in case there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A virtual private web server is easier to manipulate as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be utilized by qualified clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, some web hosting providers offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they carry out dedicated server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional service.

Prior To Deciding...

Opting for the top hosting plan is vital as it can have an influence on the stable functioning of a web portal.
