Best Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting solutions suitable for different web portals in relation to the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To choose the most relevant shared hosting service for your online portal, you must estimate what server-side software it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Good Points

The best option for small size web portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall cost per user noticeably. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one web hosting vendor to another, furnishing different quotas of server storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mail quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase a plan that will have the specs your web page really demands. You will not need to pay lots of money for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small size account that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Outraged Hosting, offer a huge variety of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even include pre-activated script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you begin with a low-end account and you require more resources, upgrading to a more powerful package involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared Website Hosting - Disadvantages

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install additional software. Specific online portals, above all online storefronts, demand software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting package, you can install solely software that does not demand complete server root access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For websites that request complete server root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated server and it works in an exactly identical manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both services normally offer complete root-level access and can be restarted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Just like the shared hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server hosting packages contain different features based on what the web hosting vendor offers. A VPS plan has guaranteed web storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can at times be extended for brief spans of time in case there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A VPS web hosting server is simpler to manage as it offers a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by competent clients.

Dedicated Servers

Still, certain hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated server hosting services where they implement dedicated server administration tasks instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional service.
