Dedicated Vs Virtual web hosting Guide

Virtual Dedicated Internet Hosting

Webmasters on the internet today are familiar with what is known as "shared" net hosting. A shared hosting account is where you rent a small amount of web space on a server which is shared among many other users.

This is can be very cost effective but there are a few disadvantages that could effect you and your website.

-spam complaints against other sites on the same server.

-site's grinding to a halt when someone else does some heavy database work on the same server.

-It will cost you more on hosting each month.

- You might even find your website going down because of a DOS attack against some one elses site relating to hacking or piracy (these type of sites attract antisocial elements!)

-The biggest disadvantage of upgrading to virtual dedicated hosting is that you will need to be more technically proficient as you will need to administer the server your self.
