Top Shared Hosting

There are different varieties of shared hosting solutions suitable for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To pick the most optimal shared hosting service for your web page, you have to reckon what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Upsides

The most optimal option for small web pages with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall price per person seriously. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one hosting company to another, delivering different amounts of data space and web traffic, different mail address account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can pay for an account that will provide the specifications your website actually needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small size plan that cannot host the site. We, at Libertywebhost, offer a great collection of shared hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business web pages that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you begin with a low grade package and you require more resources, upgrading to a more advanced plan takes just a click.

Shared website hosting - Drawbacks

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software applications. Certain sites, above all web shops, request applications to be activated on the server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install only software platforms that do not request full root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that request root-level access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visitors, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it runs in absolutely the same manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both solutions traditionally offer root-level access and can be restarted through a software tool by the customer, independently from the web hosting provider. Similar to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting plans include diverse specs depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual web server package offers guaranteed web storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief intervals of time provided that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is availing of, and it can be revamped by altering or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to tackle as it arrives with a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by competent users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, certain web hosting companies offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they complete dedicated web server management procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.
