Top Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting packages appropriate for different web pages in relation to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To pick the most suitable shared hosting service for your web site, you must estimate 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 special needs that may need to be met.

Shared website hosting - Strong Sides

The most relevant option for small online portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall price per person substantially. There are different web hosting packages differing from one web hosting vendor to another, providing different quotas of server space and monthly traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for a plan that will offer the specifications your web page indeed needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot shelter the web page. We, at 3000Host, offer an immense assortment of shared hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web sites that even provide pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you kick off with a low-end package and you demand more system resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Negative Signs

A negative side of the shared web hosting platform is that the web servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Certain websites, above all online shops, require software applications to be present on the server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software that does not demand root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that demand complete root-level access, or if your web page has many thousands or even millions of daily hits, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it operates in a strictly identical way.

VPS Web Servers

Both solutions typically include server root access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the user, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Much like the shared website hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server packages come with different specifications depending on what the hosting provider has to offer. A VPS web server hosting package offers guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be expanded for short spans of time provided that there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A private virtual server is easier to administer as it comes with a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, explore statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by skilled users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, given hosting vendors provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they run dedicated web server management assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.
