Shared web hosting - Inconveniences

A drawback of the shared web hosting environment is that the web hosting servers have some software applications installed on them and you are unable to install new software programs. Specific online portals, above all online shops, demand software applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to function, and with a shared web hosting account, you can install solely software platforms that do not request root access.

For portals that request complete root access, or if your site has many 1000's or even millions of daily visitors, what you need is a virtual private servers or a dedicated server. A VPS is a virtual imitation of a dedicated hosting server and it performs in a precisely identical way.

Both platforms commonly give root privileges and can be rebooted through a software platform by the client, independently from the web hosting provider. Analogous to the shared website hosting accounts, the virtual private servers and the dedicated web server packages contain diverse features based on what the web hosting supplier has to offer. A virtual server web hosting package has guaranteed web storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be enhanced for brief periods of time in case there are unused system resources on the physical machine. With a dedicated hosting server, the only limit is the hardware equipment it is using, and it can be revamped by altering or appending components. A VPS server is easier to handle as it offers a virtualization tool, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, etc. The management of a dedicated hosting server is more complicated, so such an account would rather be utilized by tech-savvy clients.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

Yet, certain hosting firms provide managed dedicated server hosting services where they implement dedicated server management operations instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional feature.
