Quality Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different sites when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To pick the most relevant shared hosting service for your web page, you have to access what server-side software it needs, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may need to be satisfied.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The best option for small size online portals with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting plan. With this form of web site hosting, each client pays only for their account, which lowers the overall price per user substantially. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one hosting corporation to another, providing different quotas of server storage space and monthly bandwidth, different mailbox account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy an account that will offer the specifications your web portal really demands. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a package you will not use, or wind up with a small scale account that cannot host the web portal. We, at Clarion Hosting, offer a vast variety of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business sites that even come with pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you commence with a cheaper package and you require more resources, upgrading to a more advanced account demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Disadvantages

A drawback of the shared website hosting solution is that the servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Specific online portals, particularly web shops, demand applications to be activated on the web server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software platforms that do not request complete root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For web sites that need complete server root access, or if your web portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated server and it operates in a strictly identical manner.

Private Virtual Servers

Both platforms generally come with full server root privileges and can be rebooted through a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting provider. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting plans have different specifications based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A Virtual Private Server package includes guaranteed hard disk storage, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for brief stretches of time provided that there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be upgraded by changing or adding components. A private virtual hosting server is easier to cope with as it offers a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, explore stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be used by practiced users.

Dedicated Servers

Still, given hosting vendors offer managed dedicated hosting services where they implement web hosting server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.
