Top Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting solutions suitable for different web portals with regard to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To select the most relevant shared hosting service for your site, you have to calculate what server-side software it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Perquisites

The most adequate choice for small sized sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per person drastically. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one hosting vendor to another, furnishing different amounts of disk space and traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can purchase a package that will have the specifications your site indeed needs. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not make use of, or end up with a small scale package that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Libertywebhost, offer a large variety of shared hosting packages appropriate for personal or small business sites that even offer pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you commence with a cheaper plan and you need more features, moving to a high-end plan demands only a click.

Shared website hosting - Disadvantages

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Some web pages, especially online stores, need software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate only software that does not need full server root access.

VPSs and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that need full root-level access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it works in strictly the same way.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both solutions typically come with complete root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Much like the shared hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server accounts comprise diverse features depending on what the hosting provider offers. A private virtual server hosting package offers guaranteed hard disk storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for short intervals of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A virtual server is simpler to run as it involves virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, monitor stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be used by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Yet, some hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated hosting server administration procedures on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.
