Shared hosting
Shared Web hosting is where multiple customers sites can
be hosted on shared servers. Hence, customers share the
physical servers, their processors, storage, memory, and
connection to the Internet while maintaining full
control, security and their Intellectual Properties.
This provides the economy of scale and skill to
customers while maintaining high level service levels.
Shared hosting (also referred to as 'virtual hosting')
options significantly reduce the cost of getting started
on the Web by allowing multiple Web sites to reside on a
single server that is connected to eWorld's high-speed
Internet backbone. Shared hosting plans generally limit
the amount of disk space and data transfer (bandwidth)
that are available for your site as a result. While this
allows for cost-effective hosting, there is a downside.
Because websites utilizing a shared hosting solution run
on a server with other domains all of which are using
the same system resources (RAM, CPU, etc…), if you have
a high traffic site, you simply may not be able to
accommodate a large number of simultaneous visitors due
to the lack of system resources available. Another
disadvantage is that while you have the option of using
pre-installed scripts and programs, you cannot install
your own custom applications.
On the other hand, with a shared hosting package there
is no need for a server administrator to setup,
constantly monitor and secure your server, nor do you
need to worry about security. Shared hosting is most
recommended for small to medium-sized web sites, and do
not require custom programs or installations
