Quality Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting solutions suitable for different web pages in regard to the resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To choose the best shared hosting service for your web portal, you must calculate what server-side software applications it demands, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared Website Hosting - Assets

The most adequate choice for small sized websites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of webspace hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall cost per client significantly. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one hosting vendor to another, offering different amounts of hard disk space and monthly traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy an account that will offer the features your web portal indeed needs. You will not need to pay lots of cash for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size account that cannot shelter the web page. We, at GagServer, offer an enormous selection of shared hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you start with a low grade plan and you demand more features, upgrading to a more feature-rich package demands just a click.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install new software applications. Some web portals, chiefly web stores, require software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can install solely software programs that do not demand complete root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that request complete root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it runs in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions typically give full root privileges and can be restarted through a software interface by the client, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Just like the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting packages come with different characteristics based on what the hosting company offers. A VPS plan contains guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be extended for short spans of time in case there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A virtual hosting server is simpler to run as it comprises a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by skilled clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, some web hosting firms provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they run server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.
