Best Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting packages appropriate for different web sites with regard to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To select the most optimal shared hosting service for your website, you must judge what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be covered.

Shared Hosting - Assets

The most suitable choice for small scale web portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of web space hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which decreases the total cost per individual noticeably. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one host to another, offering different quotas of web space and web traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can get a plan that will offer the specifications your site in fact demands. You will not have to pay a lot for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small size account that cannot shelter the web page. We, at Apt Web Hosting, offer an extensive choice of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you commence with a low-end account and you demand more resources, upgrading to a more powerful package involves just a click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Points

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software programs. Certain sites, particularly web storefronts, need applications to be available on the hosting server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software that does not require complete server root access.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that need complete root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A private virtual web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated machine and it behaves in precisely the same manner.

VPS Web Servers

Both services generally come with server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, autonomously from the hosting provider. Similar to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web hosting server packages involve diverse specs depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual private web hosting server plan offers guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be increased for brief intervals of time on condition that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A private virtual server is simpler to handle as it arrives with a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such an account would rather be utilized by skilled clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting corporations provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web hosting server management procedures on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra feature.
