Best Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting solutions suitable for different web portals when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To pick the most suitable shared hosting service for your web site, you have to evaluate what server-side software programs it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Perks

The most proper choice for small sized sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of web hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per client drastically. There are diverse web hosting plans varying from one company to another, providing different quotas of web space and monthly bandwidth, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can purchase an account that will provide the features your web page actually requires. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at Dimahost, offer a wide selection of shared hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business sites that even include pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you start with a low-price package and you demand more resources, moving to a more feature-rich package involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A weakness of the shared web hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Certain web sites, above all web storefronts, require software applications to be available on the web server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software applications that do not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that request root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in a precisely identical manner.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms usually come with server root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the client, independently from the hosting company. Like the shared hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server plans include different functionalities based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual private web server package contains guaranteed data storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be increased for short stretches of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A VPS is simpler to administer as it offers a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be used by proficient clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, given hosting companies offer managed dedicated hosting services where they complete web server administration operations instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra upgrade.
