Top Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting accounts suitable for different web portals when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To select the most optimal shared hosting service for your site, you have to estimate what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Perks

The most relevant choice for small sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall price per individual markedly. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one company to another, supplying different quotas of web storage space and monthly traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can obtain a package that will provide the specifications your web site in fact demands. You will not need to pay lots of money for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small size account that cannot host the web site. We, at webmotionhosting, offer a great array of shared hosting plans suitable for private or small business pages that even provide pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a low-cost package and you demand more features, upgrading to a more powerful account requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Downsides

A weak side of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate additional software programs. Given web pages, especially online storefronts, require software applications to be present on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install only software platforms that do not request full root-level access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that need complete root-level access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it operates in a precisely identical manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both platforms normally include complete server root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the user, autonomously from the web hosting company. Just like the shared web hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server plans contain diverse characteristics based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A private virtual hosting server package has guaranteed hard disk storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be expanded for brief intervals of time in case there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A virtual private web server is easier to manage as it involves virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by trained users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting companies offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they carry out server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional upgrade.
