Best Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting solutions appropriate for different sites in terms of the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To pick the best shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software it demands, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.

Shared Web Hosting - Advantages

The most proper alternative for small web sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of website hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall cost per individual considerably. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one provider to another, providing different quotas of web space and traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain a package that will provide the resources your web site really needs. You will not have to pay lots of cash for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small account that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at Liontivo, offer an enormous variety of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business portals that even come with pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you commence with a low grade package and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a more advanced account takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Shortcomings

A weakness of the shared website hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software platforms. Some web portals, especially online storefronts, request software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install only software programs that do not require full root-level access.

Private Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that need complete root access, or if your portal has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web server and it behaves in a precisely identical way.

Virtual Servers

Both solutions usually include server root access and can be restarted via a software program by the user, independently from the web hosting provider. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server web hosting accounts include different functionalities based on what the web hosting company offers. A virtual server hosting package offers guaranteed disk storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for brief stretches of time if there are free system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is using, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A virtual server is easier to manipulate as it includes a virtualization panel, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be resorted to by competent clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, some providers offer managed dedicated server hosting solutions where they complete web server administration procedures instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.
