Introduction To Shared Web Hosting Services

By: bharat Home | Internet-and-Business | Web-Hosting


In a shared server hosting, several clients share the same server.It means there are several websites located on one server connected to the net. All the clients share the overall cost of the server maintenance. This service includes system administration and the maintenance of the server and the customer support is looked after by the web host. All the user has to do is sign up with the host. This is certainly an advantage for the user who is not very familiar with all this and does not want to deal with these. But then, again for people, who want more control, this type of hosting will not be appropriate.

Beginners, individuals and small companies require less bandwidth and disk space and therefore. The service provider is responsible for server maintenance, software installation and security updates. These servers are generally based on the operating system Linux. A large part of the shared hosting market is powered through pay per click and affiliate programs. There are a few drawbacks of a shared hosting arrangement as well. Since your server is being shared by many, the level of security is a bit low.

Apart from it, it sometimes so happens that the traffic that someone else is facing on your shared server may have a direct impact on your website causing it to lag with pages that take a very long time to load. Therefore another person sharing your server may experience a sudden burst of traffic while you are still getting moderate traffic. Also, there is the possibility of a ban of the shared IP address by the ISP provider or search engines if just one site in the common shared server commits some bad deed. Lastly, since the maintenance of the server is undertaken by another company or individual, you will have no control and can't install programs.
