Top Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting solutions appropriate for different web pages in terms of the system resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To select the most proper shared hosting service for your web site, you have to evaluate what server-side software applications it demands, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be fulfilled.

Shared web hosting - Upsides

The most suitable alternative for small sized web portals with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which diminishes the overall cost per customer radically. There are different web hosting packages varying from one web hosting firm to another, providing different quotas of web space and bandwidth, different mail account quotas and so on. The advantage is that you can pay for an account that will include the resources your web portal in fact needs. You will not have to pay lots of money for a plan you will not make use of, or end up with a small scale plan that cannot host the web page. We, at Hosting Egypt, offer an immense collection of shared hosting solutions appropriate for personal or small business web sites that even come with pre-activated script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you commence with a low-end package and you need more functionalities, moving to a high-end plan demands just a click.

Shared website hosting - Negative Signs

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting solution is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot install new software. Given web portals, above all online stores, need applications to be present on the server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can install only software that does not need root-level access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web pages that require server root access, or if your site has many thousands or even millions of hits per day, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual server is a software simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it works in a precisely identical way.

Virtual Hosting Servers

Both platforms traditionally give complete root access and can be restarted via a software interface by the user, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Akin to the shared web hosting packages, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web hosting accounts have different features based on what the hosting provider offers. A VPS web server hosting plan contains guaranteed data space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enlarged for brief stretches of time on condition that there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A VPS hosting server is simpler to administer as it offers a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, examine stats, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be utilized by qualified customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosts offer managed dedicated web server hosting solutions where they perform dedicated server management assignments on behalf of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional upgrade.
