Best Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting solutions suitable for different websites with regard to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To choose the best shared hosting service for your website, you have to evaluate what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Positive Signs

The most adequate choice for small sized web portals 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 plan, which minimizes the overall cost per person drastically. There are diverse web hosting plans varying from one web hosting supplier to another, offering different amounts of disk storage and traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for a plan that will have the specifications your website really requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small size account that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at Hume and Services, offer a great collection of shared hosting plans suitable for private or small business sites that even come with pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a less powerful plan and you require more functionalities, moving to a more advanced plan demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Minuses

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install new software programs. Given web portals, mainly online stores, need applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate solely software that does not need complete server root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that need root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual web server is a software simulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in precisely the same way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services normally offer complete server root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Analogous to the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting accounts have diverse characteristics based on what the web hosting provider offers. A Virtual Private Server plan includes guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short stretches of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A VPS server is simpler to administer as it ships with a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be resorted to by practiced users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they execute hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.
