Best Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different sites in relation to the resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To choose the most relevant shared hosting service for your web portal, you have to estimate what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Positive Points

The most adequate option for small scale web sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each client pays only for their account, which decreases the overall price per customer seriously. There are various web hosting solutions differing from one company to another, supplying different amounts of data space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can order a plan that will have the specs your site in fact requires. You will not need to pay a lot for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small size plan that cannot host the website. We, at Holy Trinity Hosting, offer a huge collection of shared hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you kick off with a low-price package and you require more resources, moving to a more powerful plan requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Negative Aspects

A negative side of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software platforms. Certain sites, especially online storefronts, need applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting package, you can activate solely software applications that do not request root access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that request complete root access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of visits per day, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it behaves in an absolutely identical manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both solutions commonly come with full root privileges and can be rebooted through a software platform by the user, independently from the hosting company. Like the shared website hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server plans come with diverse functionalities based on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A private virtual server plan offers guaranteed disk storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short periods of time in case there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A Virtual Private Server is easier to manipulate as it involves a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by knowledgeable users.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting companies offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they execute hosting server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra option.
