Top Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting plans appropriate for different web sites with regard to the resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To select the most relevant shared hosting service for your web page, you need to judge what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Perks

The most appropriate alternative for small scale web sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of webspace hosting, each client pays only for their account, which reduces the overall cost per customer substantially. There are different web hosting packages varying from one host to another, supplying different quotas of storage space and monthly traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can obtain a plan that will provide the resources your web portal really needs. You will not have to pay lots of money for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small package that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at PinPoint Marketing Hosting Services, offer a great array of shared hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business portals that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a low grade plan and you require more features, upgrading to a more advanced package takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Negative Signs

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting platform is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software platforms. Certain web pages, chiefly web stores, demand applications to be present on the web server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install solely software that does not request complete root-level access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that require full root-level access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it functions in strictly the same manner.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

Both services commonly come with full root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server hosting accounts contain diverse specs depending on what the hosting company offers. A virtual server hosting plan offers guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief periods of time if there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A VPS web server is easier to manipulate as it ships with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be utilized by competent users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, given hosting corporations provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they execute web hosting server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
