Cheap, Dedicated Hosting Service?
Well, as an online marketer or what have you, it’s not compulsory you know the cybernetics of dedicated hosting. It’s pretty okay by you if it’s cheap hosting, and it’s reliable.
But it’s important you know the cost-effectiveness and the utility derived from such hosting plan so you don’t shell out your hard-earned dollars unnecessarily.
Cheap hosting has become a given. You just have to spurn any webhost that offers you an expensive plan.
What’s Dedicated Hosting?
Web hosts make us believe that dedicated hosting affords you a server exclusively yours on their hosting hardware.
As a site owner, you can access your server directly to control your site.
This hosting plan is great for big businesses that need bigger space and more control of their sites.
However, a technical evaluation of dedicated hosting reveals that you’re still, for hosting sake, sharing the server with at least one or two sites.
You can only access your server by going through the host’s helpdesk.
You really get to hog the dedicated server when you pay for dedicated connection. Then you own the server and the hardware. By this arrangement, you just be paying for the physical space your server occupy there, and their fast internet connection you use.
One more area of confusion is the cpanel.
By default, every form of hosting utilizes the cpanel which the host provides as the means of administering and controlling your server and automating your site.
However, the cpanel is just a body of web design and automating applications – not an access to your server, as you’ve always believed.
Apart from space difference, there’s little a dedicated hosting plan has above the shared hosting plan.
Hope I’m not blaspheming!
It will interest you to know some shared hosting plan like Webhostingpad’s offers e-commerce tools like shopping carts and so.
Bottomline: if you’re a plodder, a beginner, you don’t need the so-called dedicated hosting except when your space need is obvious and you’re ready to pay for the dedicated connection.
