Top Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting services appropriate for different web pages in relation to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To select the most suitable shared hosting service for your site, you must calculate what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Advantages

The most appropriate alternative for small sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the total price per customer radically. There are different web hosting packages differing from one hosting vendor to another, delivering different amounts of web storage and traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy an account that will provide the specifications your web portal in fact requires. You will not need to pay lots of cash for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small size package that cannot host the web site. We, at Sankia Tech, offer a large assortment of shared hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web portals that even include pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you commence with a low-price account and you demand more features, moving to a better package demands just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A downside of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Some web portals, mainly web stores, require applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can install only software applications that do not need root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that demand complete root-level access, or if your site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated server and it acts in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both services normally give root access and can be restarted via a software program by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting plans include diverse features based on what the web hosting provider offers. A VPS hosting server account offers guaranteed storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for brief spells of time on condition that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is using, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A private virtual hosting server is easier to manipulate as it ships with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be utilized by experienced users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, certain hosting corporations offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they run web server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional option.
