Top Shared Web Hosting

There are various varieties of shared web hosting packages appropriate for different web sites in regard to the resources or the shared web hosting environment they demand. To pick the most appropriate shared web hosting service for your site, you must judge what server-side software it requires, how many visits 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 - Good Points

The most appropriate option for small sized web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per individual significantly. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting vendor to another, furnishing different amounts of server storage space and monthly bandwidth, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can purchase a plan that will provide the specifications your site actually demands. You will not need to pay lots of money for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small package that cannot host the online portal. We, at Omni Brand Hosting, offer an immense array of shared web hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business websites that even offer pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you kick off with a low-end package and you demand more system resources, moving to a better plan requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Weak Points

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Some web pages, especially online storefronts, demand applications to be available on the server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software applications that do not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that require complete root-level access, or if your web site has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A VPS is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it works in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both services generally include full root privileges and can be rebooted through a software program by the user, independently from the hosting company. Analogous to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server hosting plans contain diverse features depending on what the hosting provider offers. A VPS hosting package offers guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be boosted for brief spells of time in case there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A virtual private web hosting server is simpler to cope with as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by tech-savvy users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, some web hosting firms offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they run dedicated hosting server management procedures instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
