Top Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting packages appropriate for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the most relevant shared hosting service for your site, you have to evaluate what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be met.

Shared Website Hosting - Positive Points

The most adequate choice for small websites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web space hosting, each client pays only for their account, which lowers the total price per individual significantly. There are different web hosting packages varying from one hosting provider to another, offering different amounts of data storage and monthly traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can order a package that will provide the specifications your web portal in fact needs. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not utilize, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot host the web site. We, at Hume and Services, offer an enormous variety of shared hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business web portals that even come with pre-installed script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a cheaper package and you need more functionalities, moving to a more feature-rich package requires only a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Drawbacks

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Certain websites, particularly online stores, request software applications to be present on the web server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can install only software programs that do not demand root-level access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that demand root-level access, or if your website has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS web server is a software simulation of a dedicated machine and it functions in a strictly identical manner.

VPSs

Both services generally come with full server root privileges and can be rebooted via a software platform by the client, independently from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server packages have diverse functionalities depending on what the web hosting vendor offers. A private virtual server account offers guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be boosted for short stretches of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A private virtual web server is simpler to run as it offers a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a package would rather be resorted to by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting corporations provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they execute dedicated hosting server administration tasks instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
