By far the most cost effective means to get your web site on the internet nowadays is to use what’s called shared hosting. Shared hosting is where a web hosting company rents you a certain quantity of disk space in which to store the files that make up your web site and allow you a certain quantity of bandwidth (ie. the information transfered between your web site and your visitors browsers) in exchange for a monthly fee. Usually speaking, the more you pay the more web space and bandwidth you will get.

There are even deals around where you are offered ‘unlimited’ disk space and bandwidth for a extremely little amount of money every month. Many individuals are pleased with what they get, many others have found out when really trying to use large amounts of space or bandwidth that if it sounds too good to be true then it typically is!

One of the features of a shared hosting account is that, as it’s name implies, you’re sharing the disk space and bandwidth with tons of other users. As I am certain you will appreciate, when an application is thrashing your hard disk on your own PC, or using up a lot of memory, then your PC slows down dramatically and will seem to grind to a halt at times. Well, this situation is pretty much the same with shared hosting. You’ll find yourself on a server with other users who have memory or CPU intensive applications, or popular sites that have tons of visitors, that means heaps of disk activity. The end result is that the responsiveness of your web site is affected.

A further drawback with shared hosting is that you’ll be unaware of who precisely you are sharing with. If you find that your web site drops suddenly in Google that may be because you have done something Google doesn’t approve of. Alternatively it could be that the IP address you’re sharing with each and every one the other sites on your server has been recognized as a cause of spam or malware.

So what is the answer?

Well many people are happy with taking the risks related to shared hosting, but for others some type of cheap dedicated hosting provides a coffee cost solution to their problems. You’ll want to make your mind up if you would like Linux server hosting or Windows server hosting, but that decision should be driven by the applications that you wish to run, as they will likely be Windows only or Linux only.

A virtual dedicated server is the following step up from shared hosting and will cost you a touch more money. With a virtual shared server you still will not have a physical server all to yourself, but you will have much more control over your hosting environment and you’ll eliminate virtually every one of the problems associated with shared hosting, and you will have your own IP address. For the tiny amount extra (it can be usually around $20 – $30 a month extra) that a virtual dedicated server costs this is a worthwhile investment.
