Quality Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting solutions suitable for different web portals in regard to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To pick the most proper shared hosting service for your site, you need to calculate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be satisfied.

Shared Website Hosting - Good Points

The most appropriate choice for small web portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which lowers the overall cost per customer substantially. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one hosting firm to another, delivering different quotas of disk storage and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for an account that will offer the resources your online portal really demands. You will not need to pay a lot for a package you will not utilize, or end up with a small sized package that cannot accommodate the site. We, at Holy Trinity Hosting, offer a huge assortment of shared hosting accounts suitable for private or small business web pages that even include pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a low-end account and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a better plan involves just a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Drawbacks

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install additional software applications. Specific sites, particularly web storefronts, demand software applications to be installed on the server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install solely software applications that do not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web pages that need root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated machine and it operates in precisely the same way.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms usually give full root privileges and can be restarted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Similar to the shared website hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server packages include diverse characteristics based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A virtual server plan offers guaranteed web storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for short intervals of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A private virtual web server is easier to run as it ships with a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, explore stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by competent clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosting firms offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated hosting server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
