Top Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting services appropriate for different sites in relation to the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To pick the most relevant shared hosting service for your site, you have to calculate what server-side software it demands, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Positive Aspects

The most relevant alternative for small sized web sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which reduces the total cost per user noticeably. There are different web hosting plans varying from one host to another, providing different amounts of server storage and web traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can purchase an account that will provide the features your web portal really requires. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot accommodate the site. We, at Rooted wolf vps, offer a huge collection of shared hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even come with pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you kick off with a low grade account and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end account requires only a click.

Shared web hosting - Inconveniences

A drawback of the shared website hosting environment is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software programs. Given web portals, chiefly online stores, need software applications to be available on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software programs that do not require complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that require root-level access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of viewers per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS web server is a software simulation of a dedicated solution and it functions in precisely the same manner.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both solutions typically offer full server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Similar to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server plans come with diverse specifications depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS web hosting server package contains guaranteed server storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for brief periods of time provided that there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A virtual web server is simpler to run as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be used by trained users.

Dedicated Servers

However, certain hosting providers offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they carry out web hosting server management operations instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra option.
