BEYOND WEB HOSTING
FAQs
Shared Web Hosting is a very popular hosting option because it provides an affordable way to get your website online. Shared Web Hosting works by allowing multiple users to share space on a single server. This cost-effective web hosting option is ideal for small to medium websites.
With NVMe servers, you get the latest generation hardware. The server infrastructure is powered by Dell rack mount servers, using AMD EPYC chips with superior processing power and DDR5 RAM. Apart from the latest hardware, you also get MySQL 8 and the latest PHP version running on ultrafast NVMe storage which significantly enhances performance.
Web hosting allows multiple website owners to share space on a single server. This means that the server's resources (RAM, CPU, etc.) are shared among all the websites hosted on that server. This makes it an affordable option for users who don't require a lot of resources. For larger, more resource-intense websites, it may be better to go with VPS hosting or a dedicated hosting plan.
With a Web Hosting plan, your website shares a server with other sites, which means you own a portion of the server's resources like RAM and CPU, but these aren't exclusively yours. Opting for Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting, however, gives you more room and bandwidth to handle increased website visitors. Unlike shared hosting, VPS lets you scale your site as it gets bigger, offering the flexibility to grow with your needs. Plus, VPS hosting puts more control in your hands, letting you tailor your server configuration to your preferences. Discover the differences between VPS and Shared Web Hosting for more insights.
