Best Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting services suitable for different sites in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To select the most proper shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to access what server-side software applications it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Perks

The most appropriate choice for small scale web sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall cost per user seriously. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one hosting firm to another, furnishing different amounts of web storage and monthly bandwidth, different email quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can buy an account that will offer the resources your web portal indeed demands. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small size plan that cannot shelter the website. We, at Amaacon Web Hosting, offer a great selection of shared hosting accounts suitable for private or small business websites that even come with pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you kick off with a less powerful package and you demand more functionalities, moving to a better package involves just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Weak Sides

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Certain web pages, mainly web shops, require applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting account, you can install only software applications that do not request root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that request complete root-level access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated server and it works in exactly the same way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both services typically provide complete root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the user, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Akin to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server hosting plans sport different characteristics based on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A private virtual hosting server package includes guaranteed web space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be increased for short spans of time in case there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to tackle as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by experienced users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, certain web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they implement dedicated web hosting server management assignments instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional feature.
