Best Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting packages appropriate for different web pages in regard to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To pick the best shared hosting service for your web page, you have to estimate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Privileges

The most appropriate option for small size sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of web space hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall price per user drastically. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one hosting corporation to another, offering different quotas of web space and web traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can get an account that will provide the features your online portal actually demands. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small package that cannot host the web site. We, at GagServer, offer an immense assortment of shared hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business websites that even offer pre-activated script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you commence with a low-cost package and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a more advanced account takes only a click.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Points

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate new software platforms. Specific web portals, especially web stores, demand applications to be available on the server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting account, you can install only software applications that do not request full root access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web portals that demand complete root-level access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated machine and it performs in exactly the same way.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both solutions generally include full server root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the customer, autonomously from the hosting company. Akin to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting accounts include diverse features depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS server hosting package offers guaranteed data storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be increased for short stretches of time if there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to handle as it involves a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by experienced customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, given hosting corporations offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they run dedicated server management operations instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.
