Quality Shared Hosting

There are different sorts of shared hosting services suitable for different websites in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To select the most appropriate shared hosting service for your site, you must calculate what server-side software programs it requires, how many daily hits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be covered.

Shared web hosting - Strong Points

The best option for small websites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which lowers the total cost per person noticeably. There are different web hosting plans varying from one web hosting firm to another, providing different amounts of server storage and bandwidth, different electronic mail account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can obtain a plan that will provide the resources your site really needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not make use of, or end up with a small sized account that cannot host the web page. We, at Beetle Hosting, offer a wide choice of shared hosting packages suitable for personal or small business pages that even include pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you start with a less powerful package and you demand more system resources, upgrading to a high-end account requires just a mouse click.

Shared Hosting - Disadvantages

A negative side of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you cannot activate new software platforms. Given sites, above all web stores, request software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to operate, and with a shared website hosting account, you can activate solely software that does not demand full server root access.

VPS Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web sites that need full root-level access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily visits, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated web server and it performs in an absolutely identical way.

VPS Servers

Both platforms usually offer full root privileges and can be restarted via a software interface by the client, independently from the web hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server plans involve diverse specs depending on what the hosting supplier has to offer. A Virtual Private Server hosting package offers guaranteed disk storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can occasionally be increased for short spans of time in case there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limitation is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual private hosting server is easier to run as it offers a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated hosting server is more complex, so such an account would rather be used by knowledgeable customers.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Still, some hosting providers provide managed dedicated web server hosting services where they perform web hosting server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.
