Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are different kinds of shared web hosting services appropriate for different web portals in regard to the system resources or the shared web hosting environment they need. To select the best shared web hosting service for your site, you must judge what server-side software programs it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Good Points

The most suitable option for small scale web sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this type of hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per customer noticeably. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one hosting firm to another, delivering different quotas of disk space and traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can order a package that will provide the resources your web site indeed needs. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small plan that cannot host the web page. We, at BMK Host, offer a great variety of shared web hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business web pages that even come with pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you commence with a low-end plan and you require more resources, moving to a more advanced package requires only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Minuses

A weak side of the shared website hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Some web pages, particularly web storefronts, require software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can install only software programs that do not request full root access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that need root-level access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you demand is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A private virtual server is a software simulation of a dedicated web server and it behaves in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both services normally include root privileges and can be restarted through a software program by the customer, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server hosting packages comprise diverse specs based on what the hosting provider offers. A VPS server hosting plan offers guaranteed web storage, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be extended for short spans of time provided that there are available resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or adding components. A VPS is simpler to handle as it includes virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by proficient users.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some hosting companies provide managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they perform dedicated hosting server management operations instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional service.

Prior To Opting...

Picking the top hosting package is crucial as it can have an effect on the proper performance of a site. Before selecting a plan, weigh the pros and cons, inspect thoroughly all the requirements for the site to function properly, especially if it is script-powered.
