Top Shared Hosting

There are various sorts of shared hosting plans suitable for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To select the most adequate shared hosting service for your web portal, you must reckon what server-side software applications it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.

Shared Hosting - Positive Points

The most suitable option for small size web portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall price per person substantially. There are different web hosting packages varying from one web host to another, furnishing different quotas of server space and bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can pay for an account that will offer the features your web site indeed needs. You will not have to pay lots of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small account that cannot accommodate the site. We, at CyberRoute.net, offer a wide choice of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business sites that even provide pre-installed script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you start with a low-end package and you require more system resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich account demands just a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Weak Sides

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software programs. Given online portals, particularly web storefronts, request applications to be available on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can activate only software platforms that do not demand full root access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that demand full root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS web server is a software emulation of a dedicated solution and it works in exactly the same way.

VPSs

Both environments generally include root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the customer, autonomously from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared website hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server packages have diverse features based on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A VPS hosting package offers guaranteed server space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for brief periods of time in case there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual private hosting server is simpler to handle as it ships with a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by experienced users.

Dedicated Servers

Still, certain hosting providers provide managed dedicated web hosting services where they complete dedicated web hosting server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
