Top Shared Web Hosting

There are different sorts of shared web hosting accounts appropriate for different sites in regard to the system resources or the shared web hosting environment they require. To select the most relevant shared web hosting service for your web page, you have to estimate what server-side software applications it requires, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Pluses

The most appropriate choice for small size websites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per customer noticeably. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting provider to another, furnishing different quotas of data space and monthly traffic, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can pay for an account that will offer the features your web page indeed demands. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at Quintiva, offer a wide selection of shared web hosting plans suitable for private or small business web portals that even include pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a low-price package and you require more system resources, upgrading to a high-end package demands just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Signs

A negative side of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Specific websites, above all online storefronts, demand applications to be installed on the web server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting account, you can install solely software platforms that do not demand root-level access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that request full root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it performs in a precisely identical manner.

Both solutions usually include root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the client, independently from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server plans comprise diverse features depending on what the web hosting company has to offer. A virtual web server hosting plan has guaranteed disk storage space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be enlarged for short stretches of time provided that there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A VPS hosting server is simpler to administer as it offers a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be utilized by competent customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, given web hosting corporations offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web server management procedures instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra service.
