Quality Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting services suitable for different websites in regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To choose the most suitable shared hosting service for your website, you must evaluate what server-side software it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Benefits

The most relevant choice for small sized web sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the overall cost per customer radically. There are different web hosting plans varying from one provider to another, providing different quotas of hard disk storage and web traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can purchase a package that will have the resources your website indeed demands. You will not have to pay plenty of money for an account you will not use, or end up with a small account that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at Dimahost, offer an enormous array of shared hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business websites that even come with pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you begin with a low priced plan and you require more system resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich package involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Weak Sides

A downside of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Given sites, chiefly web stores, require software applications to be present on the server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate solely software applications that do not demand root-level access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that require server root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A Virtual Private Server is a software imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it works in strictly the same way.

Virtual Private Servers

Both services generally provide root access and can be restarted via a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting accounts have diverse specs depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A private virtual server hosting plan contains guaranteed data space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for brief spells of time if there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A private virtual web server is simpler to tackle as it includes virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by practiced users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting companies offer managed dedicated hosting services where they perform server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional service.
