Best Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting solutions suitable for different web portals in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To pick the most relevant shared hosting service for your website, you must judge what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be met.

Shared web hosting - Perquisites

The most relevant option for small sized sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of webspace hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total cost per client significantly. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one hosting corporation to another, delivering different amounts of hard disk storage space and bandwidth, different email account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can buy a package that will include the features your web site in fact demands. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not utilize, or end up with a small account that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at zoyahost, offer an extensive choice of shared hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web sites that even offer pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low grade package and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end account demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Weaknesses

A weak side of the shared website hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate new software platforms. Certain sites, above all online storefronts, demand software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting package, you can install solely software programs that do not need full server root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web sites that request complete root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily viewers, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated solution and it runs in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both platforms traditionally offer root access and can be restarted via a software program by the customer, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server accounts involve diverse specifications depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A virtual hosting server account includes guaranteed data storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be extended for short stretches of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A private virtual server is simpler to run as it arrives with a virtualization software platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by skilled clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, some hosting providers offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.
