Server Hosting Vs.Share Hosting

Choosing the dedicated servers and shared hosting brings up a thousands of questions.Should I save money or get a powerful server now? How much control will I have with each option? Does your site need a dedicated server or is shared web hosting good enough? we will try answering these questions and helping you to make the choice very much easy.

You should fit into one of these hypothetical situations… Just keep in mind these are very ruff and you should give your hosting company stats so they can decide.

1. Under the numbers of visitors, you are probably fine on shared web hosting.

2. I run a static site and get under 500 visitors a day. Shared hosting is fine. it is a lot easier on the server.

A lot of shared hosts will be fine with bigger sites but its borderline in most cases. I also tend to error on the side of caution. I’ve seen plenty of intensive forums with 3,000 visitors a day running on shared hosting for months and then one day something flukes to cause a spike and suddenly they have 10 days to upgrade.

By The Money
Shared hosting is around $10 a month while a dedicated server is at least $70. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to make this choice. If money is a factor go with shared hosting.

I Want Control
If you want complete control of your hosting environment go with a dedicated server. Shared hosting will limit what you can do, what you can tweak, and what you can install. With a dedicated server you can do anything you want!
