The most suitable option for small web pages with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per client noticeably. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one web hosting firm to another, furnishing different amounts of hard disk storage and web traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can purchase an account that will provide the specifications your web portal in fact needs. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a plan you will not use, or wind up with a small package that cannot accommodate the site. We, at FastWeb2 - Web Solutions, offer an immense selection of shared hosting packages suitable for personal or small business websites that even include pre-activated script-powered systems such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you kick off with a low-end package and you need more resources, upgrading to a more powerful package requires just a click.

Shared web hosting - Shortcomings

A negative side of the shared hosting environment is that the hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to activate additional software. Specific websites, above all web stores, request applications to be present on the web server for them to run, and with a shared hosting package, you can activate solely software platforms that do not need server root access.

Virtual Private Web Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For websites that demand root access, or if your website has many 1000's or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual server is a software emulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it acts in an absolutely identical manner.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms usually provide complete server root access and can be restarted through a software interface by the customer, independently from the hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared web hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server hosting accounts include diverse specs based on what the hosting vendor has to offer. A VPS server plan offers guaranteed web storage space, random access memory and central processing unit usage quotas that can at times be increased for brief spans of time in case there are free resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is utilizing, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A virtual web server is simpler to manage as it arrives with virtualization software, which can be used to reboot it, to install applications, explore stats, and so on. The management of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a plan would rather be used by tech-savvy customers.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

However, certain web hosting suppliers offer managed dedicated web hosting services where they complete web hosting server management operations on behalf of the client. This can be a part of plan or an extra upgrade.
