Top Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting packages appropriate for different web portals in terms of the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To pick the most adequate shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to access what server-side software applications it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be met.

Shared Website Hosting - Benefits

The most appropriate alternative for small size web sites with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web space hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per person markedly. There are different web hosting packages differing from one hosting corporation to another, furnishing different amounts of server space and traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can pay for 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 use, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the site. We, at LCS IT and Media Services Hosting, offer a large assortment of shared hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web portals that even offer pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low-end plan and you need more resources, moving to a better plan demands just a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Points

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Certain web portals, particularly online storefronts, demand software applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software platforms that do not request full root-level access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For portals that demand complete root-level access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A VPS web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated server and it works in precisely the same way.

VPS Servers

Both solutions commonly give full server root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the user, independently from the hosting provider. Much like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server plans include diverse characteristics based on what the hosting provider offers. A VPS package offers guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief intervals of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware it is using, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to manage as it includes a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by trained customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, certain hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they execute dedicated hosting server management operations instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra upgrade.

Prior To Deciding...

Settling on the top hosting package is essential as it can have an effect on the stable functioning of a web page. Before settling on a plan, weigh the pros and cons, examine completely all the preconditions for the web page to function properly, particularly if it is script-based.
