Best Shared Hosting

There are various kinds of shared hosting plans appropriate for different websites in terms of the resources or the shared hosting environment they require. To pick the most optimal shared hosting service for your web page, you must estimate what server-side software programs it needs, how many daily visits you anticipate at the start and in the long run, as well as any other specific needs that may have to be fulfilled.

Shared website hosting - Assets

The most appropriate choice for small web pages with several hundred or a few thousand visitors is a shared hosting solution. With this form of webspace hosting, each user pays only for their account, which diminishes the total cost per client substantially. There are various web hosting packages varying from one host to another, supplying different amounts of web space and traffic, different e-mail address account quotas and so on. The positive point is that you can buy an account that will provide the specifications your website indeed needs. You will not have to pay a lot for an account you will not use, or end up with a small size plan that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at Agra Web Hosting, offer a wide variety of shared hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business web sites that even include pre-installed script-based platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render it easier. If you commence with a cheaper package and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a more feature-rich plan requires only a mouse click.

Shared website hosting - Drawbacks

A weakness of the shared hosting platform is that the servers have some software installed on them and you are unable to activate new software applications. Some web pages, particularly online stores, need software applications to be present on the web server for them to perform, and with a shared hosting account, you can activate solely software applications that do not need full server root access.

VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Servers

For sites that demand complete root access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of viewers per day, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A virtual private hosting server is a software simulation of a dedicated machine and it acts in exactly the same manner.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers

Both services usually give full server root access and can be restarted via a software program by the customer, independently from the hosting company. Much like the shared web hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server plans come with different specifications based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A Virtual Private Server hosting plan contains guaranteed server space, RAM and CPU quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for brief intervals of time on condition that there are unused resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated server, the only limitation is the hardware it is making use of, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A VPS hosting server is simpler to cope with as it involves virtualization software, which can be utilized to reboot it, to install software applications, examine stats, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complex, so such a package would rather be resorted to by knowledgeable users.

Dedicated Web Servers

However, certain web hosting vendors offer managed dedicated hosting solutions where they perform dedicated server management operations instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an extra upgrade.
