Web Hosting asked:


In today’s market scenario almost 99% of webmasters are familiar with the word “shared” web hosting accounts. Talking in real what is a shared hosting account? It is a place where one can rent a small quantity of space on a particular server which he/she has to share with other users.

One can say it is a cheap way to begin an online business but user will surely have to face several disadvantages afterwards. The problem that may happen afterwards includes inefficiency in email delivery due to spam problem. One will find his/her site coming to a pause when someone else will try heavy database work on his/her server. There are several other reasons as well which can cause a site to go down example due to a denial of service attack against someone else hosting hacking or piracy related material on one’s server.

Prevention:

Now we are going to discuss how we are going to prevent all this. By upgrading to a virtual dedicated server is a possible prevention against this problem. A virtual dedicated server helps in successful running of one’s site in the same manner as if one is having his/her own “dedicated” server. The plus point with virtual dedicated server is that it is really cheaper as compared to own server.

One can find virtual dedicated server accounts for as less as mere $30 per month. Not only that in addition one will get more amount of bandwidth as compared to shared hosting, and that too without any problem of shared hosting. One will also receive multiple IP addresses that are exclusive to his/her sites.

Thus one can get tremendous amount of benefits by just spending little more. However as like a coin here too is a second side. The main disadvantage of upgrading to virtual dedicated hosting is that one will has to be more technically sound as he/she has to administer his/her server by own.

Thus for administration one will have to learn necessary Linux skills to make sure that his/her server runs in a proper way.

There are several host providers offering “premium” support that includes a bit more hand holding. It is mainly recommended if the user is not having good experience with Linux, or if he/she is a beginner for virtual dedicated hosting.

Thus at the end we can conclude that with the increased speed and bandwidth that a virtual dedicated host is offering and that too without any disadvantages of the shared hosting headaches, it is now on the user to decide what is best for him/her. We wish best of luck!

Shared Hosting: Merits and Demerits

Web Hosting asked:


With the advent of time, several type of web hosting emerged in the market which can broadly be divided into various categories as under.

One can get hosting service both Paid and Free; Linux/Unix-based and Windows-based (other which are inferior in terms of popularity); shared, dedicated and VPS. However each of this type of hosting has its own merits and demerits.

But the main objective of this article is to explain user about the prevailing merits and demerits of shared hosting.

However, before that user should understand what is the term “shared hosting”.

Shared hosting is type of hosting in which a host provides space to a user on his/her server which he/she has to share with other customer’s web sites. Same software and operating system is applied by all web sites. With this type hosting however a user can have more advantages as compare to free web hosting.

One can again divide Shared web hosting into two categories:

Free Shared Hosting:

It is considered an ideal choice for a person trying some new concepts and who is not interested in paying money for paid hosting. This type of web site hosting provides the user with everything which is required for boosting his/her site. However, one cannot avail excellent facilities for his/her site. Site will receive restricted amount of Bandwidth and Disk Space. Such type of hosting will not guarantee user with MySQL, PHP support. Web statistics will also be of worst condition.

Paid Shared Hosting:

This will provide all the essential features which free shared hosting seldom to provide, these include e-mail, MySQL, and PHP support. One can use it if he/she wants to host small business web site, intermediary or large professional site but don’t requires the entire server’s space. Via shared hosting one can get a good possibility to host his/her site on an influential, well administrated server at a cheap per month cost.

Shared hosting is quite popular among the webmasters who are beginners, because of providing reliable web service to that user also who do not have unique technical skills.

As now one must have understood what is the shared hosting, we can come to merits and demerits of shared hosting:

Features in favor:

A. Low cost

B. Fine server administration

c. Multiply e-mail, MySQL, PHP support

Users don’t having special knowledge in web site and server administration can also conclude it very well.

Features in against:

A. Low security level

B. Resource limitation - same memory, CPU and Hard Drive is used by everyone. The user is compelled to use only that software which is provided with his/her particular hosting company, and likewise one cannot install his/her own server.

Other restrictions can be due to security policies of the company.

The best part of shared hosting is that one doesn’t need to worry about possible server problems as for this hosting company’s support service is available to sort all problems. Thus, while selecting a shared hosting one should carefully examine the company support’s quality, the better the quality of support - the better would be the conditions for site.

Also with shared hosting one can place several sites in the neighboring parts of the server.

So, finally after knowing all the pros and cons it is on the user to decide the one which is most suitable as per his/her needs.

Dedicated Server Hosting vs Shared Hosting

Filed under: Shared Hosting Articles — Tags: , , — Web Hosting Burlington @ 4:09 pm

Rod Hewitt asked:


Hosting your personal or business sites on your own dedicated server may seems expensive choice in comparison to shared web hosting, but at the end, it proves a smart choice. Shared hosting, no matter how well managed, cannot be 100% reliable and stable. However if you have your own dedicated server you can manage to avoid most of the variables affecting the reliability and stability of a server, commonly experienced by shared accounts; variables such as: overload, bad codes and scripts from other users (especially beginners); and, too many applications and components uploaded, and so on.

On a dedicated server you will install only software and applications you want to use, while on a shared hosting server you will find a host of other software and applications installed for other users.

By the very nature of the account, a dedicated server: reduces your dependency on the web host; and bypasses time delays and possible expenses incurred from these. With dedicated server hosting you can provide instant support to your own clients whenever required, which is not possible if you are on a shared server. A reliable and fast support service is vital for your own business growth just like the stability and reliability you wish for your own website. In business, reliability is reflected through word-of-mouth as one of the most effective promotional activities.

For people with clients, such as Graphic Designers and Web Designers a dedicated server is invaluable. A dedicated server will bring extra income into the studio, not just as a hosting facility, but, as a designer knows only too well, for the extra bread and butter income value. If you have 24 hour access to your own dedicated server then you can adjust, correct or update a clients website in minutes, allowing you to keep the dollar back in your studio and not in someone else. Ready availability results in reduced labour costs for the client, but higher studio-income frequency for the designer. Hence you will see the return of all your regular offline clients, bringing their web work with them.

The need for a dedicated server to your average shared server user is realized when stats tell you: how quickly people left your site because it was taking too much time to download; or how many daily visitors you are down by, because your site was not up. The true negative is the worry of how many lost visitors could have been your future paying-customers. The loss could easily equal the value of the upgrade to a Dedicated Server!

For a business, a website that is quickly downloadable and up all the time gives the visitor encouragement that your service is just as reliable, hence you will be more likely to make a sale. It will also enhance the companys image and encourage existing customers to refer your service to others. This will result in more sales for less promotion.

If you are serious about your online presence you need to get a Dedicated Server.
