Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are various sorts of shared web hosting solutions appropriate for different web portals in regard to the resources or the shared web hosting environment they demand. To select the most appropriate shared web hosting service for your web site, you need to reckon what server-side software it requires, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The most adequate option for small scale online portals with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of website hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per person radically. There are different web hosting solutions varying from one web hosting firm to another, offering different amounts of server storage and monthly bandwidth, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can get a plan that will provide the features your web site really needs. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot host the website. We, at Media Kiings, offer an enormous array of shared web hosting packages suitable for personal or small business portals that even offer pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you kick off with a less powerful package and you require more system resources, upgrading to a high-end plan involves just a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Downsides

A shortcoming of the shared website hosting environment is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Specific online portals, chiefly online shops, demand software applications to be present on the web server for them to work, and with a shared hosting environment, you can install only software applications that do not need complete root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For sites that need root access, or if your website has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A VPS is a software imitation of a dedicated server and it works in an exactly identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both environments typically provide full server root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the client, independently from the web hosting provider. Just like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web server hosting accounts have different features based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS package offers guaranteed server space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be extended for brief spans of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by changing or adding components. A virtual hosting server is easier to administer as it involves virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, monitor stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such an account would rather be utilized by tech-savvy users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, some hosting companies provide managed dedicated hosting services where they implement dedicated hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
