Shared Website Hosting And Its Benefits And Liabilities

By Amanda Baird


Shared website hosting refers to a web service where many sites reside in one server connected to the internet. Every consumer is assigned their own space in the server, which may have hundreds or thousands of sites. All the websites use the same operating system, bandwidth, disc room, and software.

This is what most people choose if they want to make a professional website quickly and yet do not need a lot of memory and space. The first and foremost reason they make use of this is because it is very affordable. There are a lot of companies or individuals that host where you can buy cheaply from and acquire space easily.

You can even avail up to 40 GB worth of space. You need not to pay an extra fee for setup and upkeep since it is all inclusive. This is convenient to those who are managing a small business and start up businesses. It is managed mostly by a professional and skilled expert who maintains the servers.

This allows you concentrate more in running your business and your site while taking care of other matters. You can even have your site in 24 hours after availing their services since they can easily set it up in an instant. They are also easily navigable, which does not require you to be technically sound people.

Most of them have a one click install for tools or use a management tool. This can help you structure your space, which makes it easy to build the site and manage email accounts. This makes customization easy when it is managed by the webmaster with the control panel tools.

They can help you in your management by assisting you in putting up pictures and other images and you can even check the statistics of your site. The most essential thing that the consumers want is the space and the bandwidth it can provide that helps in running the business in an efficient manner. There are many benefits of this service, and yet there are also many disadvantages.

It has some issues on stability especially with the number of consumers where it becomes difficult to keep up the bandwidth equal among the users. The performance of one can have an effect on the performance of other websites. For instance, if one of them has a lot of traffic going on, then it might slow down the performance of your site instead.

Another disadvantage is that you do not have any authority to install any program you like. They are managed by another person or company so those people may not allow any big changes to the sites. However, if you really want to put another program on your website, just find another hosting company who allows that certain program you want to be installed. A word of advice, this type of service is not applicable to host websites that need a lot of bandwidth and space.

Shared website hosting has its own pros and cons, but it depends on your business requirements. This might be ideal if you are a novice in web development and your business small to moderately sized. If it meets all your requirements then this may be a good choice for you.
