Best Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting plans suitable for different web portals in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To choose the most adequate shared hosting service for your web site, you must judge what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special demands that may have to be met.

Shared Hosting - Benefits

The most proper choice for small online portals with several hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which lowers the overall price per user significantly. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one hosting corporation to another, delivering different quotas of hard disk space and monthly traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can order a package that will include the resources your website in fact requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small sized account that cannot host the site. We, at Kiaran IT Services, offer an extensive assortment of shared hosting plans appropriate for personal or small business portals that even include pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you kick off with a basic account and you require more system resources, upgrading to a more powerful account demands only a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Downsides

A disadvantage of the shared hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software applications. Specific web portals, mainly web shops, require applications to be activated on the server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install solely software platforms that do not request root-level access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For web pages that demand complete server root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of visits per day, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A VPS web hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated server and it runs in an exactly identical manner.

Virtual Private Hosting Servers

Both environments commonly offer full root privileges and can be rebooted via a software tool by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Much like the shared hosting plans, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server plans sport diverse features based on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A Virtual Private Server web hosting plan has guaranteed web storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be boosted for short periods of time if there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware it is utilizing, and it can be upgraded by altering or adding components. A virtual private hosting server is easier to handle as it includes a virtualization console, which can be used to reboot it, to install software applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by trained users.

Dedicated Servers

Yet, certain providers offer managed dedicated web hosting solutions where they run web hosting server administration operations instead of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional option.
