Web hosting and about dedicated hosting

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Back in January 2009, I moved to my own server from blogger and that was the best decision I ever made for all of my websites. I pay $10/mo to host 5-6 of my websites on a shared server and that’s extremely cheap.

A web hosting account (That you own) is very important if you’re serious about your online projects. Few days ago one of my friends Sohel asked me about web hosting and the one that is ideal for a blogger and economical. You can google cheap web hosting and you’ll find offers like $2-3/mo web hosting. But $3 web hosting isn’t $3 at all; you have to pay 2-3 years in advance to get that offer.

The basic web hosting is called shared web hosting. On a shared server, a number of customers use the same server. It’s ideal for bloggers and small website owners because a digg effect or some huge volume of traffic won’t hurt you. And there’s another web hosting called the dedicated server hosting. On a dedicated package, you get your own server. Dedicated server hosting is recommended if you’re creating a social network, forum or an e-commerce website.

Dedicated web hosting is expensive but it’ll save a lot of money for your business. One of my friends is a business owner and uses his online store to receive payments from customers. His shared server had a downtime for 2 days and he lost $1000 worth transactions. That means if he would pay $200 for a dedicated server, he would be able to save that $1000.

There are lots of websites that offers web hosting ratings and reviews; you have to use one of them to find the best match for you. If you want to know more about website hosting and pricing, then you can take a look at, WebHostingGeeks.com
