Any business shopping around for a web hosting solution will no doubt come across terms such as shared hosting, virtual private hosting (VPS), managed hosting and, the latest to enter the lexicon, cloud hosting. Often the holy grail is purported to be, if you can afford it, dedicated hosting, but what exactly are the reasons for choosing a dedicated hosting solution and is it the right fit for you?

What is Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated hosting refers to a scenario in which a website (or unified set of websites) is hosted on its own distinct physical server and therefore does not share any of its hardware or software with any other organisation’s websites. The server itself will usually be leased from a hosting provider and will be physically housed in a data center.

As with shared hosting (and VPS) dedicate hosting packages can be self managed or can include varying elements of managed hosting; from providing control panels which allow the client to request automated maintenance tasks, to having support engineers on call 24/7.

Benefits of dedicated web hosting

Data Center Location

All web sites which live on servers housed in data centers will benefit from the security and ambient conditions (cooling, humidity controls etc) that these data centers offer but there are a number of further benefits that dedicated servers offer in comparison to the varieties of shared servers.

Uptime & Security

Arguably the primary reason for choosing a dedicated server solution is to ensure the uptime and strong performance of your site in the face of demands from high traffic volumes and resource heavy site activity (e.g., from transactions and large databases)

Dedicated hosting packages will usually include redundancy options for hardware and software so that any failures on the server will not result in lost uptime.  However, the initial risk of failure is also reduced because your website(s) is not sharing resource with others.  As a consequence, the threats that these other sites may present to your site are negated. These threats could originate from, malware, hackers, bad coding or even general maintenance on those sites causing contamination or damage to the underlying server set-up on which yours is based.  Many dedicated hosting providers will therefore go as far as guaranteeing 100% uptime in their packages.

Performance

In general, hosting your website in a data center, whether it’s through colocation or leased server space, will allow you to benefit from the economies of scale that the data center can offer on, amongst other things, high bandwidth.  To deploy the same resources within your organisation, for the sole use of your organisation, may be prohibitively costly.

However, the fact that your website(s) will have an entire server to itself also means that it gets to employ all of the resources that that server has to offer without having to compete with the demand from other sites. In contrast to sites located on shared servers, it will have its own CPUs and can utilize all of the server’s bandwidth, so that the speed and performance of the site is optimized.

What’s more your site will have access to the server’s full disk space which is ideal for content rich and, in particular, expanding dynamic websites.

Privacy

If your site is likely to obtain or use sensitive or personal data such as bank account details then a dedicated hosting platform will be able to introduce further levels of security. All hosting solutions should have security measures in place to protect against data leaks from your site but by hosting on a physically separate server you are introducing a significant additional barriers.

Bespoke Optimization

A major attraction of dedicated hosting for websites with very particular requirements is that it can allow the client and host to completely configure the set up to achieve a bespoke and fully optimized platform.  You can choose, not only the hardware specification you want, but also the software configurations you require to run the site as effectively as possible, including the operating system, database and other applications (whilst also taking advantage of root access to the server).  Contrastingly, on shared hosting, you would usually need to choose an existing predefined hardware and/or software package (although, of course such packages are available for dedicated server solutions if desired).

Scaleability

As mentioned above, dedicated servers will often provide the resource headroom to allow a website to function effectively in the event of any fluctuations in the demands being put upon it (e.g., from spikes in traffic or transactions).  In addition however, the fact that dedicated server packages usually involve the leasing of a server means that you and your host can respond effectively when there is a further need for these resource to be upgraded without having to purchase an entirely new server, as you would if colocating.  What’s more, you aren’t inhibited by the presence of other sites on the server if you need to make changes to hardware to, for example, increase bandwidth or upgrade the RAM or CPUs.

Wrapping Up…

For the above reasons dedicated servers are most often recommended to businesses running ecommerce websites or sites with high volumes of traffic so that they can take advantage of the high levels of both performance and security that dedicated hosting offers. However, it is worth remembering that under the specifications, packages, flexibility and support that each provider offers will vary from one to the next so it is always worth doing your homework and shopping around for a solution that fits you best.

The bargain was so good – web hosting shoppers went so crazy with the promotion and pushes Hostgator up to #1 trending topic on Alexa 2010 (see picture above).

The most important part after completing the creation of web pages, is hosting the website over the internet by an efficient hosting service. If you will surf around the internet you can find several hosting packages, claiming them as the best, by which you can host your website for making it accessible over the internet via World Wide Web. Many web hosting companies offer packages like dedicated hosting, managed web host services, virtual data centres and others but the hosting package which offers you the best result in terms of performance and budget is the shared web hosting technique.

Concept of Shared Web Hosting

Shared Web hosting is one of the most popular webs hosting service over the internet because of its economic budget and reliable features. Almost all of the hosting providers over the globe offer the shared web hosting package which is in high demand for individual and small scale websites.  In shared website hosting technique, several websites are hosted over a single robust server and they access the computation infrastructural resources of the particular server including web space, data-processing feature, random access memory and others. The cost associated with shared webhosting is very economical as the server acquiring and maintaining cost is distributed over all the websites hosted by that specific server.

Advantages of Shared Web Hosting

The various web hosting benefits associated with shared technique are reviewed below:

Cost efficiency  The best benefit associated with shared mode of web hosting is the budget price. As the specific server hosts several websites over the internet, thus the cost is distributed over each of the website leading to much cheaper rates which you cannot find on other hosting service packages. Normally, the annual cost lies with shared hosting ranges in between $50 to $100. And you don’t have to compromise with the web space and speed as you will get great web space of around 1 GB and up to 50 GB or even higher bandwidth.

Feasibility and operational ease As the servers under shared hosting are associated with several websites, so any individual has not to worry much about maintaining the server. Highly efficient IT experts look after the performance of the server this makes web site hosting feasible for many organizations that are not much handy with hosting techniques.

Utility Management Tool  Irrespective of the number of websites shared over a single server, web-hosting companies provide the administrative utility panel to each of the website separately. Through this admin utility control page, a user can do the modification and customization of the webpages. Also one can issue the subdomains and can create site emails as like the normal web hosting features.  

Limitations associated with Shared Hosting

Though shared web hosting technique is money valued and featured hosting package but still there are few drawbacks that comes with the service. Some of such drawbacks are listed as under:

• The main drawback is related with the safety issues. A shared webhosting service offers less security as many websites share the common server.
• The shared hosting holds good for small websites but its performance highly degraded with bulk weighted websites
• Less robustness is also a limitation which one has to deal with shared hosting.
• No dedicated IP address
• Self-handling and update of web pages.

Here’s a customer review on iPage (http://www.ipage.com) by Bob Dickson Jr. It was first submitted as a comment to my old post about cheap web hosting last week but it’s a very useful piece of information so I decided to publish it here.

iPage Review by Bob Dickson Jr

In brief, Bob thinks iPage has some lousy customer services but he finds the web host a good budget hosting in overall.

So here goes the review.

2010-2011. I have had Ipage for close to a year now and have mixed feelings about their services and hosting. First off, though it has happened, I have had very few problems with them as far as the servers being down and/or my page not loading, but a simple refresh of my browser usually does the trick here. Sooo over all I give them “fair to good no kiss butt rating” in this area. Then again, what server isn’t down or slow for some reason or another in a given day,month,year? Think about it!

CUSTOMER SERVICE

I have used it but not to the extent of any issues resolution that resulted in satisfaction. They suck the top and bottom layer of the brown substance in this area. Tickets are days slow, Live chats for me have not resulted in any resolutions. Forget phone support, as I have waited over 10 mins before hanging up and using live chat. Reminds me of the old tech support days of DELLs hemorrhoid sore waits! Ahhhhhhaaa.

FILE MANGEMENT

Using http://ftp… seems to be reliable for me performing upload/downloads without as many timeouts and size limits. I can say that I have uploaded files using their file manager and seen size limits and timeout issues. Phabblllah!Thus the use of my own file management software.

ULIMITED DATABASE

The Database is MYSQL,(currently 5.2.1…)and DB management is /php myadmin “WHATEVER”! The database is located on a different server. You can do backups and choose to download scripts should you need to recreate a DB or table. HOWEVER, you cannot connect to your database/s and perform DB management with local DB management software!ARGH!!!!!

Mixed feelings here,I do not like it but I do! As an X- DB Programmer/script-er/applications software developer/programmer, I love MySQL PHPMyAdmin for generating some of the queries and scripts as it saves me from having to do it and debug anything that goes wrong. But!!! I hate it when I cannot use my own DB management software as I feel I have little control over my DB maintenance! Unlimited Database? I guess, I have created 5 db’s and haven’t seen Ipage kicking me in the round thingy/s saying that’s all you get!

BANDWIDTH and UNLIMITED SPACE

No problems so far! My site is not that huge as I sell photos, which is like selling condoms to an Nun, using Os Commerce (which brings up another issue). Needless to say, Though I have not tried to upload/download/display one of my 20mb photos, I have all the space I need for photos and content. The bottom line is I do not have a great turnover in clients/users in my small town so bandwidth is not an issue for me.

INTRODUCTORY PRICE

Watch out here! If you can, opt for the longest hosting term (3 or more years)at the intro price else you will fall into the abyss of what is almost a bait and switch. I set up shop for a year for around 50 bucks. When it came time to renew,I renewed my domain for 3 years. Why? In all I like Ipage spite the fact they are jerk-offs. Still, I didn’t realize I was only renewing my domain name(url) and not the hosting service(storage space)wich is an additional cost of 107.00+ other features.

Remember the intro price was for one year? When the term elapsed, the intro price went up to full price. Meaning, you have to pay for the domain renewal(currently 12.xx a year) and another years hosting at an additional(107.xx)! Plus if you want the other features such as domain privacy…that cost extra as well.

THE FREEBIES

Dont fall for the 50 dollah con advertising credits to facebook, google… that they offer unless you need to use them. They are Credits! Most likely you will have to sign up for the services and be billed later after the credits expire and you continue to use the service.

SOFTWARE FREEBIES

iPage has many features that make it look like a good deal! The so called “feature rich, free with every account” bells and whistles that look so good in the advertisement, They cost nothing for anyone to grab and use, Ipage hosting or not. Don’t let this be a factor in your decision unless you are actually looking for that software. Yes they take the headache out of the installs and basic configurations on your web, but considering they are mostly open source freeware in the first place, they do not offer tech support.

Which brings up the last comment. I am an x programmer, love tech stuff… “Ok, to a point I do!” Most newbies will spend their fist year setting up and learning to customizing their site if they want more than the basics. If you want to sell and install OSCommerce or other, be prepared to learn PHP, HTML, Javascripts. Most all the installs have their own learning curb quirks, like word press, jomallia….IPage will not help you with these unless it is an install problem. Otherwise, be prepared to spend countless hours in front of the monitor going through each freeware’s web site gazing mindlessly in the help and faqs pages for documentation and answers.

SUMMARY

I page is fair to good on cheap hosting packages for the first term. After that, be prepared to fork over some real cash if you want to keep your domain and hosting. They offer very little support to justify the cost, but contrarily the cost is justified by the unlimited features of the site. All the services except yellow pages have additional cost in one way or another. Most all the install software are open-source freeware and have both advantages and disadvantages such as using or learning curbs when it comes to using or customizing/editing the pages. Some web templates are available for quick page setup, but if you are paying for a web site just so you can put up a blog, stick with twitter, facebook, myspace…chances are you will get more exposure there than that of a private page.

The actual services and features that Ipage really offers can be described as: “Though a fair service” An empty hard drive that has the capability of accessing the internet, customarily installing certain chosen free software that can be downloaded from the internet to a specific file set or folder for the purpose of manipulation,(((storing,retrieving,sending,displaying,denying or allowing access to files))), offering certain securities of protection and reservations of selected and chosen custom name spaces for a price, and over charging for such.

I was hoping to show you Bob’s site in this review but he rejected the idea as he does not wish to have countless unrelated hits to his site. So… that’s all I have right now.

What I think about iPage hosting now?

Presently, iPage remains as my top rated budget web host. I have no complain on iPage hosting services especially in term of hosting features (like allocated bandwidth) and server stability (without surprise, that’s what Bob said as well). It’s been a while since I last contacted iPage’s support department so I have nothing to comment on that.

In case you wish to learn more about them, I suggest further reading on my detail iPage Review.

It’s amazing, to me, what business owners call “expensive” when it comes to hosting. Are you kidding? About $10 for your company’s web presence? They don’t seem to have a problem paying $4.50 for a cup of coffee? – Randy @ Prop14 Web Design

Feedback from Tarek Yusef / April 1st, 2011

I came across your reviews site and thought wth I’ll use your promo code, well I go to hostgator and go to buy their baby plan, Already in the promo code box there is a code it says ” Spring, You have already chosen our most valuable coupon” Which is a lie because their default is 20% off and yours is 25% off. And I would assume most people wouldn’t even bother using the codes of affiliates because hostgator say the most valuable coupon is already in the promo box, WTH ! I’m irritated because too much of this bs is happening and regular people are being taken advantage of. Anyways long story short I will be getting a plan with your code now so u should get credit. – Tarek Yusef @ Internet Connections.

You can also visit this special page where the promo code is automatically inserted upon order (so that you get 25% discount instantly): Hostgator Special Promo Page.

Nowadays, people want to have their own website for a variety of reasons. Others want it to get the professional feel of having their own domain name while other want it simply because they want to be able to customize their website as much as they want.

If you want to have your own website, you should realize that there are some things you have to consider. First, you will have to get a web host or host your own website; you will have to spend either way.

Likewise, you should choose which type of hosting you need. Reseller and shared hosting are just two of the web hosting service options. These two actually differ greatly. You should find out which would be more beneficial for you. Thus, you must learn about them individually for you to be really able to compare them.

About Shared Hosting

Also known as derive host or virtual-hosting, shared hosting refers to the process wherein the web host accommodates the files for many different websites in one server. This system allows the websites to keep a strong and constant internet connection and is cheaper because you do not have to run your own server. The web host runs the server for you and they are in charge of all processes and maintenance such as server software installation, server management, updates for security, technical support, and others. Consequently, it is inarguably the most practical option in web hosting since the cost of service is divided and shared by many people.

Since the service is shared by different users, it is essential for it to have a system administration to keep things running smoothly. This is especially beneficial to those who do not want to go about the hassle of maintenance but may be a disadvantage to others who want to have more control of their site and server. Thus, this type of hosting is not apt for those who need massive software development that is not supported by the service provider.

Most applications found in a standard server functions well with shared hosting but it has certain limits in usage. Nonetheless, web hosts usually provide vast reliability features to support their clients.

About Reseller Hosting

Reseller hosting involves third parties. If you are the reseller, you will own an account and be able to utilize the bandwidth and hard drive space allotted to you to host other websites. The system starts when the reseller buys the services of the host wholesale and then sells it to clients for profit. There are actually four types of reseller.

The first one is an agent. In this case the reseller advertises the services of a web hosting company and clients buy directly from the company. The reseller gets his or her share of profit if the customer mentions that he or she was referred by the reseller.

The second type of reseller is a marketer. It is the same as being an agent but in this case, the customers buy directly from the reseller and do all other businesses with the web hosting company.

The third type is the full reseller in which he or she acts as a web hosting company. In this case, the reseller handles the sales and support but the fact is he or she is just “re-branding” the service of the real service provider.

Finally, the fourth type is when the reseller is literally a reseller. He or she buys a big piece of web space and bandwidth, divides it to smaller pieces and re-sells it to different individuals. Similarly, the reseller is responsible for client support in this case but is assisted by the web host.

Shared Hosting vs. Reseller Hosting

Based on the information aforementioned, we can conclude that there is a great difference between reseller and shared hosting. They are not actually rivals because they are for different purposes.

Generally speaking, shared hosting is apt for people with a small or medium-sized company. If you choose it, it will give your site a sturdy internet connection for a cheap price and you will be able to make the most out of the support the service provider offers. However, you will not have administrative control to your website. This may not be an issue to most people but may be annoying for the tech-savvy individuals.

Likewise, since you are sharing the server with other websites, a problem with one website may affect yours. Thus, if you have a website teeming with activities that would consume most of the server’s resources, you should consider other choices. Moreover, if you cannot juggle the risk of being affected by other site’s problems, you should consider getting a dedicated server or a virtual private server which is, of course, more costly.

On the other hand, reseller hosting is more of a business opportunity. You should consider it if you are planning to start your web hosting company. By starting your own web hosting company, you will have a huge market, recurring revenue, and even as a small company you can compete with larger ones.
