Top Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting solutions appropriate for different web pages in regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To choose the best shared hosting service for your web page, you have to evaluate what server-side software it requires, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Hosting - Benefits

The most optimal option for small size web sites with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of website hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per individual substantially. There are various web hosting plans differing from one web hosting supplier to another, providing different amounts of hard disk storage and web traffic, different e-mail quotas and so on. The plus is that you can pay for a package that will offer the specifications your online portal really needs. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not make use of, or end up with a small sized account that cannot shelter the web site. We, at ZBest Hosting, offer an enormous collection of shared hosting packages suitable for personal or small business web pages that even come with pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low grade account and you demand more features, upgrading to a better plan demands just a click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Points

A weakness of the shared website hosting environment is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install new software programs. Specific sites, particularly web shops, require software applications to be activated on the web server for them to function, and with a shared hosting plan, you can activate only software applications that do not require full root-level access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that require full root-level access, or if your web page has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it behaves in exactly the same way.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both services generally provide full root-level access and can be rebooted through a software program by the customer, autonomously from the hosting company. Akin to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server plans sport different characteristics depending on what the web hosting supplier offers. A virtual private web server account includes guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be boosted for short intervals of time in case there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be revved up by changing or adding components. A virtual private web server is easier to cope with as it offers a virtualization console, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by qualified users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Yet, given web hosting corporations offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they execute dedicated hosting server management assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra option.

Before You Opt...

Opting for the top hosting plan is essential as it can have an effect on the proper performance of a online portal. Before choosing a package, weigh the pros and cons, review thoroughly all the requirements for the web site to work properly, particularly if it is script-based.
