Top Shared Hosting

There are different varieties of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different web sites in terms of the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To choose the most proper shared hosting service for your web page, you have to access what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be answered.

Shared Web Hosting - Positive Aspects

The most relevant alternative for small web portals with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which minimizes the total price per user radically. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting company to another, supplying different quotas of server storage and monthly traffic, different email mailbox account quotas and so on. The privilege is that you can purchase a plan that will provide the specifications your web page really requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for an account you will not utilize, or end up with a small package that cannot host the website. We, at kAsTech Hosting, offer a large collection of shared hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web pages that even offer pre-installed script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you start with a low-end package and you demand more system resources, moving to a more powerful account takes only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Inconveniences

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install new software programs. Some web portals, above all online stores, request software applications to be installed on the server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting package, you can activate solely software that does not require full root-level access.

Private Virtual Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For portals that require root-level access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it operates in absolutely the same way.

VPS Servers

Both platforms usually include full server root privileges and can be restarted through a software interface by the user, autonomously from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server hosting plans come with different characteristics based on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual private web server package has guaranteed hard disk space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for brief periods of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A private virtual web hosting server is easier to cope with as it involves a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a plan would rather be utilized by skilled customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting vendors offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they run dedicated server management operations instead of the customer. This can be included in the plan or an extra feature.
