Quality Shared Hosting

There are various sorts of shared hosting services suitable for different web portals when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To choose the best shared hosting service for your web page, you must reckon what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Advantages

The most relevant choice for small scale web pages with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of website hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total price per user substantially. There are various web hosting plans varying from one hosting corporation to another, delivering different amounts of storage space and bandwidth, different e-mail quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get an account that will offer the specifications your site actually needs. You will not have to pay a lot for an account you will not use, or end up with a small scale package that cannot shelter the web page. We, at SCI-SERVERS, offer a huge selection of shared hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web portals that even offer pre-activated script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you begin with a low-cost plan and you require more resources, moving to a more powerful plan demands only a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Disadvantages

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Some web sites, mainly web shops, need applications to be installed on the web server for them to run, and with a shared hosting environment, you can activate only software applications that do not demand complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that demand complete server root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of daily visitors, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated machine and it operates in exactly the same manner.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both services generally give complete root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Like the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting plans include different functionalities based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A VPS hosting account includes guaranteed server storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be increased for brief spells of time if there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A virtual server is simpler to administer as it offers a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be utilized by qualified customers.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting companies provide managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they carry out dedicated server management tasks instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
