Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are different sorts of shared web hosting packages appropriate for different sites in regard to the resources or the shared web hosting platform they demand. To select the most appropriate shared web hosting service for your online portal, you need to reckon what server-side software programs it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be covered.

Shared Hosting - Assets

The most suitable alternative for small web portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per person considerably. There are various web hosting plans differing from one hosting company to another, supplying different quotas of hard disk space and monthly bandwidth, different email box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase an account that will include the resources your website indeed needs. You will not have to pay a lot for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small plan that cannot shelter the site. We, at NATURAL HOST SOLUTIONS, offer an immense collection of shared web hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web sites that even come with pre-activated script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a low-price account and you require more resources, moving to a better package involves only a click.

Shared website hosting - Weak Sides

A weakness of the shared hosting environment is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software. Specific online portals, particularly online storefronts, request applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software programs that do not demand full root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For portals that request root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual private web server is a software imitation of a dedicated web server and it performs in a precisely identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both solutions traditionally give complete server root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the client, independently from the hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting plans sport diverse functionalities depending on what the web hosting company offers. A virtual private web server hosting package offers guaranteed server storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for short periods of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware it is using, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual private hosting server is easier to cope with as it includes a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, monitor stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by skilled users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain web hosting corporations offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated web server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.

Prior To Reaching a Decision...

Picking the top hosting plan is crucial as it can influence the proper work of a web portal. Prior to selecting a plan, weigh the pros and cons, check thoroughly all the requirements for the web site to work properly, especially if it is script-driven.
