Best Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting packages appropriate for different web pages when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To pick the most appropriate shared hosting service for your web site, you must judge what server-side software it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the start and in the long run, as well as any other special requirements that may need to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Upsides

The most suitable option for small sized web pages with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this type of site hosting, each client pays only for their plan, which reduces the total price per customer radically. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting firm to another, providing different quotas of hard disk space and monthly bandwidth, different e-mailbox account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can obtain an account that will include the resources your site really needs. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small sized plan that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at acrilhost, offer an enormous collection of shared hosting solutions suitable for private or small business web portals that even provide pre-activated script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you kick off with a less powerful plan and you need more system resources, upgrading to a more advanced account requires only a mouse click.

Shared web hosting - Inconveniences

A drawback of the shared hosting environment is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you are unable to install new software applications. Certain web sites, mainly web shops, require software applications to be available on the web server for them to function, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software platforms that do not require full root-level access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers

For online portals that request root-level access, or if your web site has many thousands or even 1 000 000's of visitors per day, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual hosting server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it operates in strictly the same way.

Private Virtual Web Hosting Servers

Both solutions usually offer complete root access and can be restarted via a software platform by the client, autonomously from the hosting company. Similar to the shared web hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server web hosting plans come with different characteristics depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A virtual server web hosting package includes guaranteed disk space, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can sometimes be expanded for short stretches of time if there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware configuration it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or adding components. A private virtual server is simpler to manage as it arrives with a virtualization panel, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a plan would rather be used by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain web hosting providers offer managed dedicated hosting services where they carry out hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.
