Best Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting accounts suitable for different web sites in regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To select the most adequate shared hosting service for your web page, you need to calculate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily hits you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be answered.

Shared website hosting - Positive Signs

The most relevant choice for small sites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which decreases the total cost per customer radically. There are diverse web hosting packages varying from one web host to another, delivering different amounts of server storage and monthly bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can pay for a package that will have the specifications your site really needs. You will not need to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small sized package that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Acken Host, offer a huge choice of shared hosting packages suitable for private or small business portals that even offer pre-activated script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you kick off with a low grade account and you demand more system resources, moving to a more advanced plan takes just a click of the mouse.

Shared Web Hosting - Negative Signs

A downside of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software platforms. Some online portals, above all online storefronts, demand software applications to be present on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting environment, you can install solely software platforms that do not require root access.

VPS Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For portals that need complete root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of hits per day, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual hosting server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it performs in a precisely identical way.

VPS Web Servers

Both services traditionally give server root access and can be rebooted via a software program by the client, independently from the hosting provider. Akin to the shared hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server accounts have different features depending on what the hosting vendor offers. A VPS web hosting server plan contains guaranteed web storage, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be boosted for short spans of time provided that there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual private hosting server is easier to tackle as it ships with a virtualization software platform, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be used by practiced customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting companies provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they execute dedicated hosting server management procedures instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra feature.
