Quality Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting plans suitable for different sites in regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To choose the most optimal shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to judge what server-side software it needs, how many hits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special requirements that may have to be met.

Shared web hosting - Positive Points

The most optimal option for small size web sites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the overall price per user substantially. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one web host to another, furnishing different quotas of disk storage and bandwidth, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can obtain an account that will include the resources your web site indeed requires. You will not have to pay a lot of cash for an account you will not avail of, or wind up with a small sized plan that cannot host the online portal. We, at Sequerah, offer an enormous variety of shared hosting accounts suitable for private or small business portals that even offer pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you kick off with a cheaper account and you require more resources, moving to a more advanced plan takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Weaknesses

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting platform is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install new software platforms. Specific web pages, especially web shops, require applications to be activated on the server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software platforms that do not require full root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

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

Virtual Web Servers

Both environments normally offer full root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the user, autonomously from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting packages involve different features depending on what the hosting company offers. A VPS web server package contains guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for brief spells of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A VPS web hosting server is easier to cope with as it includes a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, examine stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more complex, so such a package would rather be resorted to by qualified users.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

However, certain web hosting providers provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they implement dedicated hosting server management operations on behalf of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.
