Top Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different websites in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To choose the most adequate shared hosting service for your web site, you need to access what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Dividends

The most relevant option for small size online portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall price per user drastically. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one web host to another, delivering different amounts of disk space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can pay for a package that will have the specs your website really demands. You will not have to pay a lot of money for an account you will not use, or end up with a small size account that cannot host the web site. We, at openmindcloud.io, offer a big variety of shared hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business pages that even provide pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a low priced package and you demand more system resources, moving to a more feature-rich plan demands only a click.

Shared web hosting - Shortcomings

A disadvantage of the shared hosting environment is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate additional software. Given web sites, mainly online stores, request applications to be available on the hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software applications that do not request full server root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For sites that request complete root-level access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a software emulation of a dedicated web server and it works in precisely the same way.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both environments normally include complete server root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the client, autonomously from the web hosting company. Akin to the shared hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting packages come with different features depending on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual private web hosting server plan includes guaranteed web storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can at times be increased for brief periods of time provided that there are available resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A virtual private hosting server is easier to handle as it involves a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be utilized by experienced customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosts offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they perform web server administration procedures instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an extra upgrade.
