Best Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting solutions suitable for different websites when it comes to the system resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To pick the most suitable shared hosting service for your web site, you have to reckon what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be met.

Shared Website Hosting - Advantages

The most proper choice for small scale web portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web space hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which decreases the total price per customer drastically. There are various web hosting plans varying from one hosting supplier to another, offering different amounts of storage space and web traffic, different email address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can pay for a package that will offer the features your web portal actually requires. You will not have to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot shelter the site. We, at SSDD Hosting, offer an enormous choice of shared hosting accounts suitable for private or small business portals that even come with pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you kick off with a less powerful package and you demand more resources, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan requires just a click of the mouse.

Shared Hosting - Weak Sides

A shortcoming of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software. Given web sites, especially web storefronts, request applications to be present on the web server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting plan, you can activate only software programs that do not request server root access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For online portals that require root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even millions of viewers per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web server and it operates in a strictly identical manner.

VPS Hosting Servers

Both platforms generally come with root-level access and can be rebooted through a software interface by the user, independently from the hosting company. Just like the shared hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting packages come with diverse characteristics based on what the hosting company offers. A virtual web server hosting account offers guaranteed server storage, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short periods of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A private virtual web server is simpler to manipulate as it offers a virtualization software platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be used by proficient customers.

Dedicated Servers

Yet, some web hosting corporations provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they perform dedicated web hosting server administration tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional feature.
