Best Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting packages suitable for different web portals when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To select the most suitable shared hosting service for your web page, you need to evaluate what server-side software it requires, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be met.

Shared Website Hosting - Privileges

The most optimal choice for small online portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which diminishes the total price per user noticeably. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting vendor to another, furnishing different quotas of web storage and traffic, different e-mail quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase a package that will provide the specs your web site indeed demands. You will not need to pay a lot for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small package that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Blue Skye Hosting, offer an immense selection of shared hosting plans suitable for private or small business portals that even come with pre-activated script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you kick off with a low priced plan and you demand more features, moving to a better package involves only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Shortcomings

A weakness of the shared web hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Some websites, chiefly online stores, require applications to be available on the hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can activate solely software that does not need server root access.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For online portals that request full server root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a software imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in exactly the same manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both services traditionally offer full root-level access and can be restarted through a software program by the user, independently from the hosting supplier. Just like the shared hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server packages comprise diverse specs based on what the hosting vendor offers. A private virtual web server package offers guaranteed server storage space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for brief spans of time provided that there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A virtual server is simpler to manipulate as it involves a virtualization console, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, explore stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be utilized by skilled users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, certain web hosting vendors offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they complete dedicated web server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an extra service.
