Top Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting accounts suitable for different sites in relation to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To pick the most optimal shared hosting service for your website, you need to judge what server-side software applications it requires, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Assets

The most adequate alternative for small online portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which lowers the overall price per customer substantially. There are diverse web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting corporation to another, offering different quotas of server space and web traffic, different e-mail quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase an account that will include the resources your web portal in fact requires. You will not need to pay a lot for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small account that cannot host the web site. We, at GagServer, offer a vast variety of shared hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business web portals that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a low-end account and you need more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end package takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Downsides

A downside of the shared website hosting solution is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Some sites, mainly web shops, need applications to be available on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install solely software programs that do not require root access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that need server root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated machine and it acts in a precisely identical way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both environments generally provide server root access and can be restarted through a software platform by the customer, independently from the hosting supplier. Similar to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server hosting accounts comprise different specs depending on what the web hosting vendor offers. A VPS web server hosting package includes guaranteed server storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be expanded for brief spans of time if there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual private web server is easier to run as it includes virtualization software, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by competent customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, given web hosting providers offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they execute web server management operations on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional service.
