Top Shared Hosting

There are various sorts of shared hosting solutions appropriate for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To choose the most appropriate shared hosting service for your web site, you need to judge what server-side software programs it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific requirements that may have to be met.

Shared Web Hosting - Positive Signs

The most optimal choice for small web pages with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web site hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which lowers the total cost per user drastically. There are various web hosting packages differing from one hosting corporation to another, providing different quotas of hard disk space and monthly traffic, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The good point is that you can purchase a plan that will offer the specifications your website really requires. You will not need to pay lots of money for a plan you will not make use of, or wind up with a small scale plan that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at Magnolia Sweets Web Hosting, offer an extensive assortment of shared hosting packages suitable for private or small business sites that even include pre-activated script-based systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a cheaper package and you need more features, upgrading to a more powerful package requires only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Sides

A negative side of the shared hosting platform is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install additional software platforms. Given sites, particularly web stores, demand software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting package, you can activate only software platforms that do not request server root access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For portals that need server root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily viewers, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated machine and it runs in an exactly identical way.

Private Virtual Servers

Both solutions generally give full root access and can be rebooted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Just like the shared website hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server web hosting accounts comprise different characteristics depending on what the hosting company offers. A VPS web hosting server plan contains guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be increased for short intervals of time if there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A virtual web server is simpler to manipulate as it comprises virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be used by experienced customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, certain hosts provide managed dedicated hosting services where they perform dedicated web server management assignments instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional service.
