Before starting a search for a web hosting provider you should first determine whether you need shared web hosting or dedicated web server hosting.

Dedicated Servers :It is usually a server assigned only to one user, or just a few websites, usually for the sole use by one company. The cost of a dedicated server is very higher than that of a shared hosting account. Dedicated server provides, you the access to the core administrative functions of the server.With many dedicated server plans offered by hosting companies, you are pretty much on your own where technical support is concerned. If you don’t have an IT staff or a server administrator to provide support, you may want to find a person to help you manage your dedicated server. Many hosting companies that offer dedicated server plans also offer “per issue” support, meaning that you will pay a certain amount, usually an hourly fee, for technical support issues. Some dedicated server plans have optional “support tickets” that you can purchase in advance.And there are also many hosting provider who provides fully manged private servers,they do not charge extra for managing the server.With a managed dedicated plan, you get a dedicated server and the hosting company also provides comprehensive support like you usually find in a shared hosting plan. This is a good alternative for companies that don’t have an IT staff or a server administrator and don’t want to get involved at all in the technical aspects of running a server. The price for a managed dedicated server is usually higher than for an unmanaged dedicated server plan as you’re getting technical support included.

Shared Hosting : It is an account on a web server that hosts other shared accounts. The number of accounts on one shared server can vary widely; some servers host a only few hundred, while others have thousands of websites hosted on one single server. Hosting your website on a shared server is a workable solution for many small businesses, as shared hosting accounts are priced very much lower than a dedicated servers. Shared web hosting accounts have limited access to the core administrative functions of the server. Many webhosting companies offers comprehensive technical support for users of shared hosting plans. Complete technical support is usually included in the price of your account plan.

Note:Whatever type of web hosting plan you choose, make sure that the plan you’ve chosen fits your needs.
