Top Shared Hosting

There are different varieties of shared hosting plans appropriate for different web sites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To pick the most optimal shared hosting service for your site, you have to estimate what server-side software it requires, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Positive Points

The best choice for small size websites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total cost per individual drastically. There are different web hosting plans varying from one hosting firm to another, providing different amounts of disk space and monthly traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order a plan that will include the features your online portal indeed requires. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small package that cannot shelter the web site. We, at Su Host, offer an immense variety of shared hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business web sites that even come with pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things simpler. If you commence with a low-price plan and you require more features, moving to a more powerful package demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Negative Signs

A downside of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate additional software platforms. Some sites, particularly web storefronts, request software applications to be installed on the web server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can activate solely software applications that do not need root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that request full root-level access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of visits per day, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A virtual server is a software simulation of a dedicated web server and it functions in precisely the same manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both platforms traditionally include server root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the user, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared web hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server plans come with diverse functionalities based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual private web server account offers guaranteed hard disk storage space, random access memory and CPU quotas that can at times be increased for short spells of time provided that there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to tackle as it includes a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by experienced users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, given hosting firms offer managed dedicated server web hosting services where they carry out web server management operations instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
