Top Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting plans suitable for different sites in relation to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To choose the most proper shared hosting service for your site, you need to estimate what server-side software it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Positive Signs

The most relevant choice for small sized websites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall cost per individual noticeably. There are various web hosting accounts differing from one hosting vendor to another, offering different quotas of disk storage and monthly traffic, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can purchase a package that will have the specifications your website really demands. You will not have to pay a lot for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot host the web portal. We, at Creative Web Host, offer an enormous collection of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business sites that even come with pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you begin with a low-price package and you demand more system resources, moving to a high-end account takes only a click.

Shared Hosting - Negative Signs

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Specific websites, particularly web storefronts, need applications to be available on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install only software applications that do not request root access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that require full server root access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it behaves in an exactly identical way.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services normally come with root privileges and can be restarted via a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting packages sport different characteristics depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS web hosting account includes guaranteed hard disk space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be boosted for brief spells of time if there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A private virtual server is simpler to tackle as it involves a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be utilized by skilled users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting providers offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they execute dedicated hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an additional service.
