Top Shared Web Hosting

There are different types of shared web hosting plans appropriate for different websites in terms of the resources or the shared web hosting environment they need. To choose the most proper shared web hosting service for your web page, you need to judge what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Hosting - Perks

The most adequate choice for small sized websites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per user considerably. There are various web hosting plans varying from one web hosting provider to another, supplying different quotas of data storage and traffic, different email quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy an account that will provide the resources your website actually needs. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot host the web portal. We, at Time To Get A Dot Com, offer a large selection of shared web hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even offer pre-activated script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you commence with a cheaper account and you need more features, moving to a more powerful plan demands only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Drawbacks

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software. Some web pages, above all online shops, demand software applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can activate only software that does not require root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web portals that request root-level access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A VPS hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated solution and it works in a strictly identical way.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both environments traditionally include root access and can be rebooted through a software platform by the user, independently from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated hosting plans comprise different functionalities based on what the hosting company offers. A VPS hosting package contains guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enlarged for short stretches of time on condition that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is using, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual hosting server is simpler to administer as it offers a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such an account would rather be utilized by practiced customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, certain hosting providers offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they run dedicated web hosting server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional service.

Before You Choose...

Picking the top hosting package is vital as it can have an influence on the proper operation of a website. Prior to opting for a plan, compare the pros and cons, investigate carefully all the preconditions for the web site to work properly, particularly if it is script-driven.
