There are various kinds of shared web hosting plans appropriate for different websites with regard to the system resources or the shared web hosting environment they need. To select the most adequate shared web hosting service for your web portal, you need to judge what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Pluses

The most appropriate option for small scale online portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall price per person drastically. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one hosting corporation to another, offering different amounts of storage space and web traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for an account that will offer the resources your website in fact requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small account that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Eagleprohost.com, offer an extensive assortment of shared web hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business portals that even offer pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a basic account and you need more resources, moving to a better package requires just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Weaknesses

A weakness of the shared web hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software platforms. Given online portals, above all web stores, need applications to be installed on the web server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can activate solely software programs that do not request complete server root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that demand server root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual private web server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated server and it behaves in a precisely identical manner.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both platforms usually give complete server root access and can be restarted through a software program by the user, independently from the hosting supplier. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting accounts sport different functionalities based on what the hosting provider offers. A VPS web hosting server plan includes guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short spans of time if there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A private virtual server is easier to tackle as it arrives with a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a package would rather be utilized by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, some web hosting firms offer managed dedicated hosting services where they complete hosting server administration operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional option.

Prior To Opting...

Opting for the top hosting package is essential as it can have an effect on the stable work of a website. Prior to settling on an account, weigh the pros and cons, survey thoroughly all the prerequisites for the web page to perform properly, especially if it is script-based.
