Top Hosting

There are different types of hosting plans suitable for different web portals in regard to the system resources or the hosting platform they need. To select the most optimal hosting service for your web page, you must reckon what server-side software it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Upsides

The most relevant alternative for small size sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per person drastically. There are various web hosting plans varying from one hosting provider to another, offering different amounts of server storage space and web traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for an account that will offer the features your web site in fact demands. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not utilize, or wind up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the web page. We, at Sharplogics, offer a big assortment of hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web portals that even include pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a low grade package and you demand more features, upgrading to a high-end plan takes only a click.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A downside of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate new software programs. Given websites, mainly online storefronts, demand applications to be available on the web server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can activate only software programs that do not request server root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web sites that require complete root-level access, or if your portal has many thousands or even millions of daily visits, what you need is a VPS or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated solution and it acts in an absolutely identical manner.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both environments generally give full server root access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, independently from the web hosting provider. Like the shared website hosting plans, the VPS and the dedicated server packages have different specs depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual web server account includes guaranteed server storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enlarged for brief spells of time if there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A virtual web server is simpler to manipulate as it involves virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, explore statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more elaborate, so such an account would rather be utilized by skilled customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, certain hosting providers offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they perform dedicated web hosting server management procedures instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional option.
