Introduction

The most important decision any potential web master or internet entrepreneur is likely to make is their web site hosting. There are three main options:

  • Dedicated Hosting
  • Shared Hosting (Parked)
  • Colocation or Co-Hosting

The article will explain the differences between the three types, and show how dedicated server hosting is different, and possibly worth the extra premium. We will also present a checklist that is appropriate for evaluating both dedicated server hosting solutions and shared web servers alike.

Dedicated Hosting vs. Shared Hosting

Shared hosting assumes that the space being offered for rent by the web hosting provider is split amongst a number of users. The bandwidth, disk space, hardware and internet connectivity is all shared out, and the cost split. Hence, they are cheap - often for free or around $30 per year when rented along with a domain name.
