Best Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting solutions appropriate for different websites when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the best shared hosting service for your site, you must judge what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Benefits

The most appropriate option for small sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of webspace hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total cost per user considerably. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one web hosting corporation to another, furnishing different amounts of disk storage and monthly bandwidth, different email quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can pay for an account that will have the features your online portal actually needs. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small plan that cannot host the web portal. We, at Sindibad Host, offer an extensive assortment of shared hosting plans suitable for private or small business web sites that even offer pre-installed script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a less powerful account and you demand more resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan involves just a click.

Shared website hosting - Weaknesses

A weak side of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate new software platforms. Certain online portals, chiefly web stores, request applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can activate solely software applications that do not require full server root access.

Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For online portals that request root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in a precisely identical manner.

Virtual Private Servers

Both environments normally come with full root privileges and can be rebooted via a software program by the user, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Much like the shared web hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server plans come with different characteristics depending on what the hosting provider offers. A private virtual web hosting server account includes guaranteed data space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short spans of time on condition that there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A VPS server is simpler to tackle as it comprises a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, explore statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be utilized by competent customers.

Dedicated Servers

However, given companies offer managed dedicated server hosting services where they run server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
