Quality Shared Web Hosting

There are different varieties of shared web hosting plans suitable for different sites in relation to the system resources or the shared web hosting platform they demand. To select the most suitable shared web hosting service for your web portal, you must estimate what server-side software it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be answered.

Shared web hosting - Pluses

The most relevant alternative for small size sites with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this type of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per person markedly. There are different web hosting plans varying from one hosting provider to another, delivering different amounts of disk space and web traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can obtain an account that will provide the specs your website in fact requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not avail of, or wind up with a small size package that cannot host the website. We, at eTesLa Technologies LLC, offer an enormous selection of shared web hosting accounts suitable for private or small business websites that even include pre-activated script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you kick off with a low priced plan and you require more features, upgrading to a high-end account requires just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Weak Sides

A negative side of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install new software platforms. Certain web sites, above all web shops, demand software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software platforms that do not require complete server root access.

VPSs and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web portals that request root-level access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you need is a VPS web hosting or a dedicated server web hosting. A virtual web server is a software emulation of a dedicated machine and it operates in precisely the same way.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions usually come with root privileges and can be restarted via a software platform by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Much like the shared web hosting packages, the VPS web hosting and the dedicated web hosting server packages sport diverse functionalities depending on what the web hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS hosting server account includes guaranteed data storage space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for brief stretches of time in case there are free resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be revved up by changing or appending components. A virtual web hosting server is simpler to handle as it ships with a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be used by competent users.

Dedicated Web Servers

Still, some hosts provide managed dedicated hosting services where they carry out server management tasks on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional feature.
