Quality Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting services appropriate for different web pages when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To pick the most proper shared hosting service for your website, you need to estimate what server-side software programs it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Strong Sides

The best alternative for small size web sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of website hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall price per user considerably. There are diverse web hosting solutions varying from one host to another, supplying different quotas of data storage and traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get an account that will have the specifications your web page really needs. You will not have to pay a lot for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at Online In Seconds, offer a great choice of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business portals that even provide pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a low-cost package and you need more system resources, moving to a high-end account requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Points

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Certain web pages, mainly web storefronts, request software applications to be activated on the server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install solely software platforms that do not need server root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that request complete root-level access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of daily visitors, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated web server and it runs in an absolutely identical way.

Both platforms commonly give root-level access and can be restarted through a software tool by the user, autonomously from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting server plans have different specs depending on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual private web server hosting package offers guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief intervals of time if there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to run as it involves a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be utilized by skilled customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, certain providers offer managed dedicated hosting services where they run dedicated web hosting server management tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional feature.
