Best Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting plans appropriate for different sites in terms of the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To pick the most appropriate shared hosting service for your online portal, you must reckon what server-side software applications it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Website Hosting - Positive Points

The most optimal alternative for small size online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per person substantially. There are various web hosting plans varying from one web hosting provider to another, providing different quotas of hard disk storage space and monthly traffic, different email quotas and so on. The good point is that you can get a plan that will offer the resources your site actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small size plan that cannot host the web site. We, at Venture Hosting, offer a wide collection of shared hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business sites that even include pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a low-price package and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan involves only a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Weaknesses

A downside of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Given sites, particularly web shops, require software applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting package, you can activate only software applications that do not need root-level access.

VPSs and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that demand full root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it operates in precisely the same way.

VPS Web Servers

Both platforms usually give root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the user, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Akin to the shared hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server accounts include diverse characteristics based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A private virtual server package offers guaranteed server storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short spans of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A private virtual server is easier to manipulate as it arrives with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by practiced users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosting corporations provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they execute hosting server management assignments instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional feature.

Prior To Reaching a Decision...

Opting for the top hosting package is vital as it can have an influence on the stable operation of a web portal. Before picking a package, weigh the pros and cons, examine completely all the preconditions for the site to work properly, particularly if it is script-powered.
