Top Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting services suitable for different websites when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To pick the best shared hosting service for your web portal, you have to reckon what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Positive Points

The most relevant choice for small online portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of website hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per client considerably. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one hosting provider to another, offering different amounts of disk storage and monthly bandwidth, different mail address account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can purchase a package that will include the features your website indeed requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a package you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size package that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at OneSource Host, offer an extensive choice of shared hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business pages that even include pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a low grade account and you demand more resources, upgrading to a more powerful plan takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Inconveniences

A downside of the shared website hosting environment is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate additional software. Specific sites, particularly online stores, need applications to be present on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate only software programs that do not demand root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web sites that request root-level access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of daily viewers, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it performs in an exactly identical manner.

VPS Web Servers

Both platforms typically offer root-level access and can be restarted through a software interface by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server accounts sport diverse specs based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual server web hosting package has guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for short stretches of time provided that there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is simpler to handle as it comprises a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, monitor stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be used by skilled users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, some hosting providers provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they run dedicated hosting server management procedures instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.
