Top Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting packages appropriate for different web pages in terms of the resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To choose the most proper shared hosting service for your site, you must access what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Web Hosting - Virtues

The best alternative for small size sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per user considerably. There are various web hosting packages differing from one hosting vendor to another, furnishing different amounts of server storage space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy a package that will offer the specs your website really requires. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small scale package that cannot host the web site. We, at HMAHost, offer a big choice of shared hosting plans suitable for private or small business sites that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a low priced package and you demand more system resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan demands only a click.

Shared web hosting - Disadvantages

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Given web sites, chiefly web stores, demand applications to be present on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software applications that do not require root-level access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web sites that request root-level access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated solution and it operates in strictly the same manner.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both platforms usually include root privileges and can be rebooted via a software interface by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Similar to the shared hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server hosting accounts have different functionalities based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A private virtual server web hosting account has guaranteed hard disk storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be boosted for brief spells of time on condition that there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A VPS is simpler to run as it comes with virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by proficient clients.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, given hosting corporations offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they implement web server management tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional upgrade.
