Website Hosting

Shared web hosting also known as virtual web hosting consist of thousands of sites placed on to a single web server. The bandwidth and space provided to these sites is low, due to this low availability of space and bandwidth the charges offered are also affordable by a small business industry.

In shared website hosting, multiple sites are hosted on a single server. Shared hosting provider serves pages for multiple Web sites, each having its own Internet domain name, from a single Web server.

It is the equivalent of leasing office space. A certain portion of the building is yours, with your name on the door, and you can rely on the building manager for security, maintenance, and facilities management. This is called "shared" hosting because your home page has its own domain name (www.mycompany.com).

Although shared hosting is a less expensive way for businesses to create a Web presence, it is usually not sufficient for Web sites with high traffic. Shared server hosting is the best choice for normal websites and smaller ecommerce websites

The problem that arises in this shared web hosting is that when many users try to access a single web site, or web sites present on the same server. The web server runs out or resources like memory, CPU, bandwidth. This makes the response of the web server slower and so it takes a lot of time for the site to open.

Reseller shared hosting

In this type of shared web hosting a third party buys or rents a web server from a web hosting company at a cheaper costs and self becomes a web host. He is then responsible for the entire shared web hosting services and sells space, bandwidth and other services to his customers. It's a bit more problematic as it consist all the disadvantages of shared web hosting and the technical support it provides is also slower as the third party person you called will call his web hosting company and will discuss your problems to them and so it becomes a kind of late communication. This is more preferable for personal web sites
