Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are different types of shared web hosting services appropriate for different websites with regard to the system resources or the shared web hosting environment they demand. To pick the most proper shared web hosting service for your web site, you need to evaluate what server-side software it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Strong Sides

The most optimal choice for small sized sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of web hosting, each client pays only for their account, which lowers the overall cost per customer radically. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting vendor to another, furnishing different quotas of server space and traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can obtain an account that will provide the specs your online portal really demands. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a package you will not utilize, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the site. We, at HGDS Web Hosting, offer a huge variety of shared web hosting plans appropriate for private or small business portals that even provide pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you begin with a less powerful account and you demand more system resources, moving to a more powerful package takes only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Sides

A weakness of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software applications. Some online portals, especially web stores, require software applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting package, you can activate solely software applications that do not demand root-level access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web sites that request full root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you require 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 works in absolutely the same way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both services typically offer root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting supplier. Much like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting server packages have different specs based on what the web hosting supplier offers. A private virtual server web hosting package includes guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief spells of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to run as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be utilized by proficient clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosting companies offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they run hosting server administration tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional service.

Prior To Deciding...

Settling on the top hosting plan is important as it can affect the proper functioning of a site. Prior to opting for a package, compare the pros and cons, explore carefully all the prerequisites for the website to run properly, especially if it is script-powered.
