Best Shared Web Hosting

There are different sorts of shared web hosting accounts appropriate for different web portals in regard to the system resources or the shared web hosting platform they require. To pick the most relevant shared web hosting service for your web page, you need to access what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Benefits

The most relevant alternative for small scale sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the total cost per individual significantly. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one web hosting firm to another, furnishing different quotas of web space and web traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for a package that will provide the features your website in fact needs. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small package that cannot shelter the website. We, at Zonk Host, offer a huge choice of shared web hosting packages appropriate for private or small business web pages that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you commence with a less powerful plan and you require more resources, upgrading to a more advanced plan involves only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Inconveniences

A weakness of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Some web sites, above all web storefronts, demand applications to be available on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install solely software applications that do not request full server root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that require root access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A VPS web server is a software emulation of a dedicated solution and it acts in precisely the same manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both services normally give root access and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the web hosting company. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server web hosting plans come with different features based on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual server plan offers guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be expanded for short intervals of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is simpler to cope with as it includes a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by skilled clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, some web hosting companies provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they implement web server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an additional feature.
