 What is Shared Hosting? 
        
        
        The huge costs of operating a server are 
        shared between many websites, making it a more economical solution 
        for smaller businesses that don't require a lot of resources.
        Most hosting companies 
        end up putting way more websites on a shared server than the server is 
        capable of handling.  This is done to offer low pricing and 
        increase their profit potential.  The unsuspecting customer is 
        attracted to the low priced hosting and doesn't understand the 
        consequences of being on an overloaded server.
        The plus side is cheap 
        hosting, the downside when you place 2000 to 3000 websites on a server 
        is poor performance.  If there is a server failure it can take up 
        to 3 days to restore all the websites on the server.  Think about 
        it, no web site and no e-mail for up to 3 days, can your business afford 
        that to save a few dollars in hosting.
        We offer shared hosting 
        but try to balance the cost vs. the number websites hosted, this allows 
        us to maintain good performance at a reasonable price.  We do not 
        recommend using a shared server to host a website that requires the use 
        of a database.  A database driven website requires more resources 
        from the server and can result in poor performance in a heavily shared 
        environment.  Call: 800-726-4310 Semi-Dedicated Hosting Dedicated Server 
        
        A 
        dedicated server is for the very large high volume website that requires 
        maximum space and bandwidth.  A Dedicated server offers the most 
        flexibility, including choice of operating system, hardware, etc.
