Top Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different web pages with regard to the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the most appropriate shared hosting service for your site, you must evaluate what server-side software programs it needs, how many visits per day you expect at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific needs that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared Hosting - Good Points

The most suitable option for small size websites with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web space hosting, each user pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall price per person critically. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting provider to another, providing different amounts of hard disk storage space and monthly bandwidth, different email quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can obtain a package that will have the specifications your website actually demands. You will not need to pay plenty of cash for a package you will not avail of, or end up with a small scale account that cannot accommodate the web portal. We, at Tehilla Media, offer a great array of shared hosting accounts suitable for private or small business pages that even provide pre-activated script-driven systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you begin with a low-cost package and you require more functionalities, moving to a more powerful account requires only a click.

Shared web hosting - Inconveniences

A negative aspect of the shared website hosting platform is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot install additional software programs. Specific web sites, particularly online shops, need applications to be installed on the server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting environment, you can install only software that does not require full server root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that demand complete root-level access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of viewers per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual server is a software emulation of a dedicated hosting server and it runs in an absolutely identical way.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both environments commonly include root privileges and can be rebooted via a software interface by the user, autonomously from the hosting company. Similar to the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting accounts involve different features depending on what the web hosting vendor offers. A virtual server web hosting account includes guaranteed data space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be increased for short spans of time provided that there are available system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual private web server is simpler to tackle as it involves a virtualization tool, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be used by knowledgeable users.

Dedicated Servers

Nonetheless, some web hosting companies provide managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they carry out web server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.
