Quality Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting plans appropriate for different web sites in terms of the resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To choose the most adequate shared hosting service for your web page, you need to access what server-side software applications it requires, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be satisfied.

Shared web hosting - Privileges

The most appropriate option for small online portals with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which decreases the total price per user radically. There are diverse web hosting accounts differing from one web hosting vendor to another, furnishing different quotas of web storage and traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can order a plan that will offer the features your website indeed needs. You will not need to pay a lot of money for a package you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at Melanesia Web Hosting, offer a huge collection of shared hosting accounts appropriate for personal or small business pages that even offer pre-activated script-driven platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you commence with a low-price plan and you demand more resources, moving to a high-end account involves just a click of the mouse.

Shared website hosting - Weak Sides

A weak side of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install additional software applications. Specific web pages, particularly web stores, require software applications to be installed on the web hosting server for them to perform, and with a shared web hosting plan, you can activate only software programs that do not require server root access.

VPS Servers and Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

For web portals that require full server root access, or if your web site has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private web server is a virtual emulation of a dedicated solution and it behaves in an exactly identical manner.

Private Virtual Web Servers

Both environments usually come with server root access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the client, independently from the hosting company. Akin to the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server hosting accounts involve different characteristics depending on what the web hosting provider offers. A VPS web server hosting package has guaranteed data storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for short spells of time if there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be revved up by altering or appending components. A virtual private web server is simpler to handle as it ships with a virtualization platform, which can be utilized to restart it, to install software applications, examine statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by experienced users.

Dedicated Servers

Nevertheless, given companies offer managed dedicated hosting services where they carry out dedicated web server administration operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an extra service.
