Top Shared Hosting

There are various sorts of shared hosting accounts appropriate for different sites in relation to the resources or the shared hosting platform they need. To pick the most optimal shared hosting service for your website, you need to calculate what server-side software it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.

Shared Hosting - Assets

The most relevant alternative for small size web pages with several hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting package. With this type of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which minimizes the overall cost per client radically. There are different web hosting packages varying from one hosting company to another, providing different quotas of data space and monthly traffic, different e-mail box account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can purchase an account that will offer the specifications your site indeed needs. You will not need to pay lots of cash for a package you will not make use of, or end up with a small size account that cannot accommodate the web site. We, at CosmoHost UK, offer a huge collection of shared hosting packages suitable for private or small business pages that even provide pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it easier. If you commence with a low priced plan and you need more system resources, moving to a better package involves just a click.

Shared Website Hosting - Inconveniences

A drawback of the shared website hosting platform is that the web hosting servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate additional software. Given websites, especially online shops, need applications to be present on the server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can install only software that does not require root-level access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For portals that need complete root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even millions of daily viewers, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated server and it functions in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Web Servers

Both services commonly provide server root access and can be restarted via a software interface by the customer, autonomously from the hosting supplier. Similar to the shared web hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server packages have different characteristics based on what the hosting vendor offers. A virtual web server hosting package has guaranteed storage space, RAM and CPU quotas that can sometimes be boosted for brief periods of time provided that there are unused resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is making use of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A private virtual server is simpler to handle as it involves a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be used by experienced customers.

Dedicated Servers

However, certain web hosts provide managed dedicated hosting solutions where they implement dedicated web hosting server management procedures on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional feature.
