Best Shared Hosting

There are different varieties of shared hosting services suitable for different web portals in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the best shared hosting service for your web portal, you must estimate what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Positive Points

The most suitable choice for small scale online portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which decreases the overall price per individual critically. There are different web hosting plans varying from one hosting vendor to another, delivering different amounts of server storage space and monthly traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order a plan that will provide the specifications your site really demands. You will not need to pay a lot of money for an account you will not use, or end up with a small plan that cannot host the web page. We, at Frikahost, offer a huge choice of shared hosting packages suitable for private or small business pages that even come with pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a less powerful package and you need more system resources, moving to a more powerful plan demands just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Minuses

A negative aspect of the shared web hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software. Some web sites, above all web storefronts, request software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate only software platforms that do not need complete server root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web pages that demand complete root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visits, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS web server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it runs in strictly the same manner.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both environments traditionally provide complete root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the user, independently from the web hosting provider. Much like the shared website hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server hosting accounts sport diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual server web hosting package contains guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be increased for short periods of time in case there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A private virtual web hosting server is simpler to handle as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be utilized by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, given web hosting firms provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they execute dedicated web hosting server management assignments instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.
