Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are different types of shared web hosting packages suitable for different web sites in terms of the resources or the shared web hosting platform they demand. To pick the best shared web hosting service for your web portal, you have to judge what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Benefits

The most relevant alternative for small web sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this form of web site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which decreases the total price per person drastically. There are various web hosting packages differing from one hosting company to another, supplying different amounts of web storage and monthly traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can buy a plan that will provide the specs your website indeed requires. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Fireband Cloud, offer a wide variety of shared web hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business pages that even provide pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you begin with a basic package and you need more features, moving to a more powerful package takes only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Signs

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software platforms. Given web sites, chiefly online stores, need software applications to be present on the server for them to run, and with a shared hosting account, you can install solely software platforms that do not demand root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that need server root access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated web server and it runs in precisely the same way.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms generally come with server root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the customer, independently from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server packages sport different functionalities based on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS server web hosting plan includes guaranteed disk space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for short spans of time if there are unused resources on the physical server. 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 VPS web hosting server is easier to manipulate as it arrives with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, given hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated hosting services where they perform dedicated hosting server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra service.
