Top Shared Hosting

There are different varieties of shared hosting plans suitable for different websites in relation to the resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To select the most appropriate shared hosting service for your website, you have to access what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be met.

Shared Hosting - Perquisites

The most appropriate choice for small scale online portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which decreases the total price per individual radically. There are different web hosting plans differing from one hosting company to another, providing different quotas of disk space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase a package that will have the specs your web portal indeed needs. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a package you will not use, or end up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at FlexiLinuxHost, offer a large variety of shared hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you kick off with a low-end package and you require more system resources, moving to a more powerful plan requires only a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Weak Sides

A weakness of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate additional software. Given web sites, above all online stores, need software applications to be available on the server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting package, you can activate only software programs that do not require server root access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For online portals that request full root access, or if your web portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A VPS is a virtual imitation of a dedicated solution and it runs in an absolutely identical way.

VPS Servers

Both services commonly come with full root-level access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the user, independently from the web hosting provider. Akin to the shared website hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated hosting server accounts come with different features based on what the hosting company offers. A private virtual server hosting package includes guaranteed disk storage space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for brief spans of time provided that there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A VPS hosting server is simpler to tackle as it comes with virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, explore statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a package would rather be resorted to by proficient clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain providers provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they complete dedicated server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.
