Quality Shared Hosting

There are various varieties of shared hosting accounts suitable for different web portals when it comes to the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To select the most adequate shared hosting service for your site, you need to access what server-side software it demands, how many hits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be satisfied.

Shared Hosting - Perks

The most optimal alternative for small scale websites with a few hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which decreases the total price per client radically. There are diverse web hosting accounts varying from one hosting company to another, supplying different quotas of data space and web traffic, different e-mail quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can order a plan that will provide the resources your web site indeed requires. You will not have to pay plenty of cash for a plan you will not use, or end up with a small account that cannot host the web page. We, at BootDomain.com, offer an immense choice of shared hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business websites that even offer pre-activated script-driven platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it simpler. If you start with a less powerful plan and you demand more system resources, moving to a more powerful plan involves only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Inconveniences

A weak side of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to install new software. Some web portals, particularly online storefronts, need software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can install only software programs that do not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web pages that require full root-level access, or if your portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of hits per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS hosting server is a software imitation of a dedicated server and it behaves in strictly the same manner.

VPS Servers

Both platforms generally offer full root-level access and can be rebooted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting company. Just like the shared website hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server accounts comprise different features depending on what the hosting company has to offer. A virtual private hosting server package includes guaranteed data space, RAM and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for short spans of time in case there are spare resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A VPS hosting server is simpler to tackle as it comes with virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, check stats, etc. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more intricate, so such a package would rather be utilized by qualified customers.

Dedicated Web Servers

Nonetheless, certain hosting firms offer managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out hosting server management operations instead of the client. This can be included in the package or an additional option.
