Best Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting services appropriate for different web pages in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the most proper shared hosting service for your web site, you have to reckon what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Positive Points

The most relevant alternative for small size web pages with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of website hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per client noticeably. There are various web hosting accounts differing from one hosting provider to another, offering different amounts of web storage and web traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain a plan that will offer the resources your online portal actually requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at RatRod Hosting, offer a vast assortment of shared hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business portals that even offer pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a low grade package and you require more system resources, upgrading to a high-end account requires just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Points

A weak side of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate new software programs. Certain web portals, especially online storefronts, need software applications to be present on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install solely software that does not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that request full root-level access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated web server and it performs in an absolutely identical manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both environments usually provide full root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the user, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Like the shared web hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting server plans involve different characteristics depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A private virtual server web hosting package has guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be extended for short stretches of time in case there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual server is simpler to cope with as it includes a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be used by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, given web hosting companies provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they execute web server administration operations instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra service.
