Quality Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting services suitable for different web portals in relation to the resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To select the best shared hosting service for your web portal, you need to calculate what server-side software applications it requires, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be met.

Shared website hosting - Pluses

The most relevant choice for small size sites with several 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 reduces the overall price per person considerably. There are different web hosting solutions differing from one host to another, delivering different amounts of web storage space and traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can order a plan that will offer the resources your website actually needs. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small size plan that cannot host the web page. We, at The Edge of Eternity Networks, offer a wide assortment of shared hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you kick off with a less powerful plan and you need more system resources, moving to a high-end plan involves just a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Inconveniences

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software. Given web sites, especially web shops, request applications to be activated on the server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can install solely software applications that do not request root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For websites that request full server root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it performs in a precisely identical manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both solutions traditionally come with full root-level access and can be rebooted through a software tool by the client, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Akin to the shared hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server web hosting accounts comprise diverse specs depending on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A virtual server web hosting plan has guaranteed web storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be enhanced for short periods of time provided that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is utilizing, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A private virtual server is simpler to tackle as it offers a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complex, so such a package would rather be used by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Still, given hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they run dedicated server administration operations on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.
