Best Shared Hosting

There are different kinds of shared hosting plans suitable for different sites with regard to the system resources or the shared hosting environment they need. To select the most relevant shared hosting service for your online portal, you need to access what server-side software applications it needs, how many daily visits you expect at the beginning and in the long run, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be covered.

Shared website hosting - Strong Points

The most suitable alternative for small sites with a few hundred or several thousand visitors is a shared hosting account. With this form of web space hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the total cost per person considerably. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one hosting vendor to another, supplying different amounts of disk storage and web traffic, different mail account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can buy a package that will provide the resources your website actually demands. You will not have to pay lots of money for an account you will not use, or wind up with a small sized package that cannot host the web site. We, at ReactR, offer a vast array of shared hosting packages suitable for personal or small business web portals that even come with pre-installed script-powered platforms such as Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make things easier. If you commence with a low-cost account and you need more resources, moving to a high-end plan involves only a mouse click.

Shared Website Hosting - Negative Points

A disadvantage of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software programs installed on them and you cannot activate additional software applications. Specific online portals, mainly online stores, need software applications to be installed on the web server for them to operate, and with a shared web hosting platform, you can activate solely software applications that do not demand complete root-level access.

Virtual Private Web Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For web portals that request full server root access, or if your web site has many 1000's or even 1 000 000's of daily visitors, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting. A Virtual Private Server is a virtual simulation of a dedicated web hosting server and it runs in a precisely identical way.

Virtual Private Servers

Both solutions generally provide server root access and can be restarted via a software tool by the client, autonomously from the web hosting supplier. Just like the shared web hosting accounts, the VPS hosting and the dedicated server web hosting accounts involve diverse features depending on what the web hosting provider has to offer. A VPS hosting server plan offers guaranteed disk space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be boosted for brief periods of time in case there are spare resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be upgraded by changing or appending components. A VPS web hosting server is simpler to manage as it comprises a virtualization tool, which can be utilized to restart it, to install applications, check stats, and so on. The administration of a dedicated web server is more elaborate, so such a package would rather be resorted to by proficient clients.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

Nevertheless, certain hosting providers provide managed dedicated server web hosting solutions where they run dedicated server management operations instead of the customer. This can be a part of package or an extra option.
