Top Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting solutions suitable for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To choose the most adequate shared hosting service for your web site, you must judge what server-side software programs 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 covered.

Shared Web Hosting - Pluses

The best choice for small web portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of website hosting, each client pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per customer markedly. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one web hosting provider to another, furnishing different amounts of disk storage and monthly traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get a package that will have the specifications your web page in fact requires. You will not have to pay lots of cash for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small plan that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at JB1 Hosting, offer a large array of shared hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low priced package and you require more resources, upgrading to a high-end plan takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Negative Sides

A drawback of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Given sites, especially online shops, need software applications to be present on the server for them to work, and with a shared hosting environment, you can activate only software that does not need server root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that need root-level access, or if your portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS server is a software imitation of a dedicated web server and it runs in a strictly identical manner.

VPS Web Servers

Both platforms commonly provide full server root privileges and can be restarted through a software interface by the user, independently from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server hosting plans contain diverse characteristics depending on what the hosting supplier offers. A virtual private hosting server package has guaranteed data storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be boosted for short intervals of time in case there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual private web server is simpler to handle as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, given hosts provide managed dedicated hosting services where they complete dedicated hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra service.

Choosing the top hosting package is vital as it can have an effect on the proper work of a web page.
