It is not unusual for people to ask whether shared web hosting or dedicated server hosting is the best for their specific circumstances. The main thing to remember is that what is suitable for one person is not necessary the best for another.

Shared hosting and dedicated servers are the two most popular types of web hosting today. Shared web hosting is used by a huge percentage of website owners. The reasons are easy to see; shared hosting is the cheapest web hosting available. For those with a very constrictive budget and for non-commercial websites shared web hosting is normally adequate. The drawbacks of shared web hosting are lack of privacy, much slower connection and higher downtime and shared IP address.

Commercial needs differ

Dedicated servers give commercial websites a direct connection. This means that you have the responsibilities of backups and maintenance and updates that can be a drawback. The benefits are that extra server software can be easily installed as needed. You are the only one using that dedicated server.

There is far less chance of downtime or crashes due to overload. Dedicated servers give commercial websites the much needed flexibility to run an online business reliably. Customers value the benefits they get when they deal with a business that uses a dedicated server as it guarantees them greater information security and of course, reliability.

This adds greatly to the creditability of any business. Credibility with your audience is hugely important for online businesses. CWCS offer all the various web hosting solutions to suit the business needs of all businesses.
