Top Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting packages suitable for different sites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To select the most relevant shared hosting service for your web page, you need to judge what server-side software applications it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be answered.

Shared Website Hosting - Dividends

The most proper option for small sized sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of web hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the total price per person substantially. There are various web hosting plans varying from one host to another, supplying different amounts of storage space and monthly traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for a package that will offer the specs your web portal indeed demands. You will not need to pay a lot of money for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small size account that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Raintree Hosting, offer a big collection of shared hosting plans suitable for private or small business websites that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you kick off with a low-end plan and you require more resources, moving to a more powerful account requires only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A drawback of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Some websites, chiefly web storefronts, demand applications to be present on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software applications that do not need full server root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For online portals that request complete root access, or if your site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A private virtual web server is a software imitation of a dedicated server and it behaves in a strictly identical manner.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both environments usually give complete root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the client, independently from the web hosting provider. Analogous to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server web hosting plans have diverse features based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A virtual private hosting server account contains guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief spells of time on condition that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A VPS server is easier to tackle as it ships with a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by proficient clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, given web hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they complete hosting server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional upgrade.
