Best Shared Hosting

There are different varieties of shared hosting services appropriate for different web pages with regard to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To pick the most relevant shared hosting service for your site, you have to calculate what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Pluses

The most appropriate choice for small size web pages with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per user radically. There are diverse web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting firm to another, delivering different quotas of web space and web traffic, different mail quotas and so on. The good point is that you can purchase a package that will provide the resources your web portal really demands. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Magnolia Sweets Web Hosting, offer a huge collection of shared hosting packages suitable for private or small business pages that even provide pre-installed script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you begin with a low-price account and you require more features, moving to a high-end account demands just a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Weaknesses

A downside of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software applications. Certain web pages, mainly web stores, need applications to be available on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate only software applications that do not demand root-level access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that demand root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even millions of viewers per day, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual server is a software emulation of a dedicated machine and it runs in precisely the same way.

VPS Web Servers

Both platforms commonly provide full server root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting server packages include diverse specs based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A VPS hosting server plan contains guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be enlarged for brief intervals of time on condition that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to tackle as it ships with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be utilized by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, certain web hosts provide managed dedicated hosting services where they perform hosting server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional upgrade.
