The most relevant alternative for small sized web portals with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting package. With this form of web hosting, each customer pays only for their plan, which reduces the overall cost per individual seriously. There are diverse web hosting packages differing from one hosting supplier to another, providing different amounts of hard disk storage space and traffic, different email account quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can pay for a package that will have the specifications your site in fact requires. You will not need to pay a lot of money for an account you will not utilize, or end up with a small scale package that cannot accommodate the online portal. We, at hostinertia, offer a vast collection of shared hosting solutions appropriate for private or small business web sites that even include pre-activated script-powered systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to render things simpler. If you begin with a low-end package and you need more functionalities, moving to a more feature-rich package requires just a click.

Shared web hosting - Negative Sides

A disadvantage of the shared website hosting solution is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install new software. Given online portals, mainly web storefronts, request applications to be available on the hosting server for them to work, and with a shared web hosting package, you can activate solely software that does not request full root access.

Virtual Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers

For portals that require complete root access, or if your online portal has many 1000's or even millions of viewers per day, what you demand is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A private virtual web server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web hosting server and it acts in an exactly identical manner.

VPS Web Hosting Servers

Both platforms commonly give root-level access and can be rebooted via a software platform by the user, autonomously from the hosting provider. Like the shared web hosting plans, the virtual private servers and the dedicated server hosting packages come with diverse specs depending on what the hosting provider has to offer. A VPS web hosting server package has guaranteed web storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enlarged for short spells of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limit is the hardware configuration it is utilizing, and it can be revamped by changing or appending components. A virtual web hosting server is easier to handle as it comprises virtualization software, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, monitor statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated server is more intricate, so such a solution would rather be used by qualified clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, certain hosting suppliers provide managed dedicated hosting services where they implement hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of package or an additional option.
