Top Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting accounts suitable for different web sites in terms of the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To choose the best shared hosting service for your website, you need to evaluate what server-side software programs it demands, how many visits per day you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may have to be answered.

Shared Hosting - Positive Sides

The best option for small size websites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total price per user radically. There are different web hosting plans varying from one web hosting provider to another, supplying different quotas of storage space and traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can pay for an account that will have the resources your online portal actually requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small size package that cannot shelter the site. We, at Str Hosting, offer a large collection of shared hosting packages suitable for personal or small business web portals that even include pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you commence with a cheaper package and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a high-end account requires only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Aspects

A weak side of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Some web pages, chiefly online storefronts, need applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared hosting environment, you can activate solely software platforms that do not require complete server root access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that request root-level access, or if your website has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated solution and it runs in a strictly identical way.

Virtual Servers

Both services generally offer root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Like the shared web hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server web hosting packages comprise different specs based on what the web hosting vendor offers. A virtual web hosting server account contains guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be enlarged for brief intervals of time if there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A VPS is easier to administer as it comes with a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be utilized by trained clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, some web hosting vendors provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they implement dedicated server management procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra service.
