Best Shared Web Hosting

There are various types of shared web hosting plans appropriate for different web portals in relation to the system resources or the shared web hosting environment they demand. To choose the most suitable shared web hosting service for your web page, you need to judge what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be answered.

Shared Hosting - Strong Sides

The most suitable choice for small scale web pages with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall cost per individual significantly. There are various web hosting packages differing from one web hosting company to another, providing different quotas of web storage space and web traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can purchase a plan that will provide the resources your web site actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not utilize, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot shelter the website. We, at 46:10 Hosting, offer an enormous selection of shared web hosting accounts appropriate for private or small business web pages that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you start with a low-end plan and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a more feature-rich package demands just a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Downsides

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software platforms. Given web sites, especially online shops, require applications to be available on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install only software platforms that do not request full root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that demand root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it runs in precisely the same way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both services usually give server root access and can be rebooted through a software program by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated server packages come with diverse characteristics depending on what the web hosting company offers. A Virtual Private Server web hosting account offers guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be extended for brief intervals of time in case there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A private virtual hosting server is easier to manage as it involves a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be used by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, given web hosting corporations provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they complete server management tasks instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional option.
