Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are different sorts of shared web hosting solutions appropriate for different web portals with regard to the resources or the shared web hosting platform they demand. To pick the best shared web hosting service for your online portal, you must reckon what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be answered.

Shared Hosting - Perquisites

The most relevant option for small sized websites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total price per individual substantially. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting vendor to another, delivering different quotas of storage space and web traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for a plan that will include the resources your web site in fact demands. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not utilize, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot host the site. We, at Zonk Host, offer a vast array of shared web hosting packages suitable for private or small business websites that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you start with a low-cost plan and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end plan requires just a click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Aspects

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting environment is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software applications. Certain web pages, mainly online shops, require applications to be present on the server for them to work, and with a shared hosting environment, you can activate only software platforms that do not need complete root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that request root access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A VPS server is a software emulation of a dedicated web server and it performs in an exactly identical way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both services generally give server root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting plans include diverse functionalities depending on what the web hosting company offers. A VPS web server hosting plan has guaranteed web space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be extended for brief stretches of time if there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A VPS web server is easier to handle as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be utilized by proficient customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some providers provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they implement web server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional feature.
