Quality Shared Hosting

There are various types of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different sites in relation to the resources or the shared hosting platform they demand. To pick the most optimal shared hosting service for your web portal, you have to access what server-side software applications it needs, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other special demands that may need to be met.

Shared web hosting - Pluses

The most suitable alternative for small scale web pages with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per client seriously. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one hosting corporation to another, offering different quotas of disk storage and bandwidth, different mail address account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can buy an account that will provide the specifications your online portal in fact requires. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small plan that cannot accommodate the website. We, at Hosting Egypt, offer a huge selection of shared hosting plans appropriate for private or small business sites that even provide pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things easier. If you start with a low-cost package and you demand more functionalities, moving to a high-end package demands just a click of the mouse.

Shared web hosting - Shortcomings

A weakness of the shared web hosting solution is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Some web pages, chiefly web stores, demand applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared website hosting solution, you can activate only software programs that do not demand full root access.

Private Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For websites that need full root access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even millions of daily hits, what you require is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual web hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it functions in strictly the same manner.

Virtual Private Web Servers

Both solutions normally offer root privileges and can be rebooted via a software platform by the user, independently from the web hosting company. Like the shared hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server web hosting packages contain different functionalities depending on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A Virtual Private Server account offers guaranteed data storage, random access memory and CPU quotas that can sometimes be boosted for brief intervals of time on condition that there are spare system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be upgraded by altering or appending components. A virtual server is simpler to manipulate as it offers a virtualization console, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install applications, examine stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a plan would rather be used by competent users.

Dedicated Servers

However, given hosting companies offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they run server management tasks instead of the customer. This can be included in the package or an additional upgrade.
