Top Shared Hosting

There are different types of shared hosting packages appropriate for different websites in regard to the resources or the shared hosting platform they require. To pick the most appropriate shared hosting service for your web portal, you need to evaluate what server-side software applications it demands, how many visits per day you anticipate at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other special needs that may have to be satisfied.

Shared Website Hosting - Perquisites

The most suitable option for small web pages with a few hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this type of hosting, each client pays only for their account, which minimizes the overall price per customer seriously. There are various web hosting accounts varying from one host to another, delivering different quotas of data storage and traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can obtain an account that will include the specifications your web page actually requires. You will not have to pay plenty of money for a plan you will not avail of, or end up with a small sized account that cannot host the web page. We, at Luuka Host, offer a great variety of shared hosting plans suitable for personal or small business web portals that even offer pre-installed script-based platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you begin with a low priced package and you need more system resources, moving to a more advanced package involves just a mouse click.

Shared Web Hosting - Weak Sides

A weak side of the shared web hosting solution is that the servers have some software applications installed on them and you cannot activate new software platforms. Given web sites, mainly online stores, need software applications to be available on the web hosting server for them to work, and with a shared website hosting platform, you can activate only software platforms that do not request complete root-level access.

Virtual Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Web Servers

For sites that request full root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily hits, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated hosting server and it operates in an exactly identical manner.

VPSs

Both solutions generally provide full root-level access and can be rebooted through a software program by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Much like the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated hosting server packages include diverse features based on what the hosting provider has to offer. A private virtual server account has guaranteed server storage, random access memory and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be extended for short periods of time in case there are free system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware architecture it is availing of, and it can be configured by changing or adding components. A private virtual web server is easier to run as it arrives with a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated web hosting server is more elaborate, so such a solution would rather be resorted to by competent clients.

Dedicated Web Servers

Yet, given web hosting corporations provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they carry out web hosting server management tasks on behalf of the client. This can be included in the plan or an additional option.
