Top Shared Web Hosting

There are various kinds of shared web hosting plans suitable for different web pages with regard to the system resources or the shared web hosting platform they need. To pick the most optimal shared web hosting service for your site, you need to calculate what server-side software it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Signs

The most suitable alternative for small scale web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall cost per customer noticeably. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting firm to another, offering different amounts of hard disk storage and web traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy a plan that will offer the specifications your web page indeed needs. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small size plan that cannot host the website. We, at Incorpmedia Hosting, offer a great array of shared web hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business websites that even come with pre-activated script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you commence with a low-end plan and you require more resources, moving to a more powerful plan takes just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Disadvantages

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software. Specific web sites, particularly online storefronts, request software applications to be installed on the server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install solely software that does not request complete server root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that request full root-level access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A private virtual web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated server and it behaves in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both environments commonly provide root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting plans comprise different functionalities based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS server hosting plan has guaranteed data space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be expanded for short spans of time on condition that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual private hosting server is easier to handle as it includes a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, explore statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be used by practiced clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, given web hosting corporations offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they perform web server administration tasks instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra service.
