Shared Web Hosting

Shared Web Hosting Service

Shared web hosting is a method used to divide a web server and share bandwidth and disk space between clients. Shared web hosting is ideal for new websites or new webmasters just starting their online business. If you are not a beginner, VPS hosting or dedicated web hosting might be are better choice for you. Having a shared web server means exactly that, you will share the sever with other webmasters. This might mean your website could be on a server with 10,000 other websites. What does this mean?

 

Having a shared hosting plan could mean one or two things, (1) Your website could experience longer load times and (2) Limited amount of disk space and bandwidth. Why? Because when you “share” with other websites different amounts of bandwidth is used. Moreover, each website uses different amount of disk space. Meaning, one website could be using a lot of disk space and other website could not be using the disk space.

 

More importantly, will this type of server solution be helpful or harmful. The best way to go is by getting a dedicated server or hosting plan. Do you think Google, Amazon, or eBay use shared web hosting? I would have say, “They do not.” These major players use their own servers and don’t share with anyone. Don’t give your hopes up yet, shared hosting can be very useful for beginners to understand the basics of web.
