Quality Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting services suitable for different web sites in regard to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To choose the most proper shared hosting service for your website, you must evaluate what server-side software it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Positive Sides

The best option for small size web pages with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which reduces the total price per client significantly. There are various web hosting solutions varying from one host to another, providing different quotas of disk storage and web traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can get an account that will have the features your website indeed requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a package you will not use, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot shelter the online portal. We, at VirtualNIX, offer a large selection of shared hosting packages appropriate for private or small business sites that even offer pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low-price account and you need more features, upgrading to a more powerful package requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Negative Signs

A shortcoming of the shared hosting platform is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software programs. Certain sites, above all online stores, require software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install solely software applications that do not require complete root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that need complete server root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual web hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in a precisely identical way.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both environments traditionally give root-level access and can be restarted via a software interface by the client, independently from the hosting company. Much like the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server accounts comprise different characteristics based on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS web server hosting package contains guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for brief intervals of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A private virtual hosting server is easier to manage as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such an account would rather be utilized by knowledgeable users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, given hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they implement web hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional service.
