Quality Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting services appropriate for different sites in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To choose the best shared hosting service for your site, you have to reckon what server-side software it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other special needs that may need to be answered.

Shared Hosting - Strong Sides

The most optimal choice for small scale websites with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this form of site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the overall cost per client drastically. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one host to another, furnishing different quotas of hard disk storage and monthly traffic, different e-mail account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can get a package that will include the specifications your web portal really demands. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale account that cannot host the web portal. We, at Triple O Hosting, offer a big variety of shared hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a less powerful account and you need more functionalities, moving to a better plan involves just a click.

Shared Hosting - Minuses

A weakness of the shared web hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install new software platforms. Given web sites, above all online shops, require applications to be installed on the hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate only software applications that do not need full server root access.

Virtual Web Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For portals that request complete root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you require is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A private virtual hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it functions in an exactly identical manner.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

Both solutions generally give full root-level access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server accounts come with diverse specifications depending on what the hosting provider has to offer. A virtual private web server hosting account includes guaranteed web storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be boosted for brief spans of time in case there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is simpler to manage as it comes with a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be used by knowledgeable clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, some providers provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they complete dedicated server management assignments instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.
