Top Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting accounts suitable for different sites in relation to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To pick the most optimal shared hosting service for your website, you must calculate what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily hits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be answered.

Shared Website Hosting - Strong Points

The best alternative for small scale online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which decreases the total cost per customer drastically. There are various web hosting plans differing from one web hosting corporation to another, offering different amounts of server space and web traffic, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can order an account that will offer the specifications your web page in fact demands. You will not need to pay a lot of money for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small size account that cannot shelter the web site. We, at inticweb, offer a huge choice of shared hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business pages that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you commence with a basic plan and you need more features, upgrading to a high-end account demands only a click.

Shared Hosting - Inconveniences

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install additional software programs. Given web pages, chiefly online storefronts, require applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install only software applications that do not demand root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web portals that need full root-level access, or if your web page has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it works in strictly the same manner.

Virtual Servers

Both platforms traditionally include root privileges and can be rebooted via a software platform by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Similar to the shared web hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting server packages come with different specs depending on what the hosting company offers. A Virtual Private Server web hosting package contains guaranteed data storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be enlarged for brief spans of time in case there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A VPS is easier to administer as it ships with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by practiced clients.

Dedicated Servers

However, some providers provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they perform server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an additional option.

Opting for the top hosting package is vital as it can have an effect on the stable work of a web portal.
