There are several types of web hosting available for you and the choice will depend upon your business and which stage of development it is at. You will also have other factors to consider such as the cost and level of support required from the hosting company.
Shared web hosting is the sharing of space by several websites on the same physical server. Usually the business which takes advantage of shared hosting will be in the very early stages of building his business and is trying to gain recognition on the web. Shared hosting can vary in price but it is possible to get some very good value cheap web hosting from EUKHost which we have made affordable to all without compromising on quality. Shared web hosting is adequate for a small business or a personal website but as traffic volumes grow you may have to consider upgrading.
Upgrading to dedicated servers by EUKHost can be quite a large move as dedicated server hosting can be more expensive, especially if your business is still in the development stages. A possibility which offers greater resources than shared hosting but is not as expensive as dedicated hosting is a virtual private server. This is a physical server which houses several websites but each has their own virtual walls so that they are all separate. With a virtual server you will enjoy the benefits of greater resources as well complete privacy so that you won’t be affected by the actions of other website owners.
A dedicated server allows you to have a complete server to yourself so that you are totally private with the use of all the resources. You can host multiple sites from your dedicated server with no restrictions. A dedicated server option will give greater flexibility with software configuration and you will be able to handle a greater volume of traffic.
