How to Pick the Most Suitable Hosting Plan
What is Virtual Hosting?
A shared hosting packaged or virtual hosting package refers to a web hosting service where a large number of web sites are being stored on a single server which is publicly linked to the Internet. Each separate account has its unique login credentials and has a designateddiskspace which is segregated from the other websites hosted on the same server. This is (almost always|usually|typically|arguably|definitely|decidedly) one of the most affordable way if someone chooses a hosting service, as the price of the server machine and its technical support costs are shared by a large number of webmasters.
Naturally, since this machine is jointly used by many customers, the hosting service must have a technician to oversee the server and none of the individual account holders may have direct access to the “root” server feature. Commonly a GUI control panel is provided for no fuss administration but this can be a frustration to people who need more flexibility over the management of their virtual server. Further, you may not be able to add any software at will as it runs the risk of affect the response of the server, especially when (it|the software|the application) is badly coded. Other virtual accounts kept on the same machine may thus be negatively affected as well. For this reason, while virtual hosting is a very affordable entry-level hosting service, it is not suitable for webmasters who require a high degree of server access for their accounts.
In contrast, a dedicated hosting service or dedicated web server, is when an individual lease an entire server which is not shared with other websites. This is of course more flexible than a (virtual|shared) hosting account, as website owners have full management over the machine, including the choice of (OS|operating systems|software|web server application|server daemons) and hardware specifications like the kind of CPU, memory, storage, etc.
Sandwiched between dedicated server hosting and shared servers, there are virtual private server hosting. Virtual Private Servers are like shared hosting service as a websites are hosted on the same dedicated server. Unlike shared hosting, Virtual private server users have full access to their accounts. As a result, VPS users experience no problem toadd their own software. As there are far fewer vps accounts hosted on a dedicated server, the performance of the vitual private server plan can be guaranteed by the web host. But, as it is not a dedicated machine, it is a lot cheaper than a dedicated server plan. It is the natural choice.
