Best Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting services appropriate for different websites with regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To choose the best shared hosting service for your web portal, you have to reckon what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may need to be satisfied.

Shared Web Hosting - Virtues

The most optimal choice for small size web pages with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of webspace hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per user noticeably. There are different web hosting accounts differing from one hosting provider to another, offering different quotas of disk storage and bandwidth, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for an account that will include the specifications your web site really needs. You will not need to pay a lot for an account you will not use, or end up with a small package that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Genius Monster Hosting, offer an immense array of shared hosting packages suitable for personal or small business pages that even come with pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low priced plan and you demand more features, upgrading to a more powerful package demands just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Weak Sides

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install additional software. Certain web portals, especially web storefronts, demand software applications to be available on the web server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install solely software that does not need full root-level access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that request full server root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you need is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A virtual private web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated server and it acts in an exactly identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both environments typically provide complete root-level access and can be restarted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting company. Like the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server packages have diverse characteristics based on what the hosting company offers. A virtual private web hosting server plan offers guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be boosted for brief spells of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A private virtual hosting server is simpler to administer as it comprises virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be resorted to by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, given web hosting providers provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they complete dedicated web server management procedures on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an extra service.
