Quality Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different web sites with regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To pick the most relevant shared hosting service for your site, you need to reckon what server-side software it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may need to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Perks

The most proper option for small scale web portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the total price per client markedly. There are diverse web hosting solutions differing from one web hosting supplier to another, furnishing different quotas of disk storage space and traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for a plan that will include the features your online portal really requires. You will not have to pay a lot for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot shelter the site. We, at Nelson's Hosting, offer a large selection of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business web pages that even provide pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a low-price plan and you need more features, upgrading to a more powerful package takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Points

A weak side of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Given web portals, chiefly online shops, require applications to be activated on the server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install solely software programs that do not request server root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web sites that require complete server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of daily visitors, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A Virtual Private Server is a software simulation of a dedicated web server and it works in a precisely identical manner.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both solutions usually come with complete root-level access and can be rebooted through a software program by the customer, independently from the web hosting provider. Like the shared hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting packages come with diverse functionalities based on what the web hosting provider offers. A VPS package contains guaranteed storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be increased for brief stretches of time in case there are spare 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 revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual web server is simpler to tackle as it comprises a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be used by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Servers

Yet, some web hosting firms offer managed dedicated hosting services where they complete web server management procedures instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra feature.
