Shared Servers offer clients the ability to host their Web site on a powerful, professionally managed server, at a low monthly cost. Shared servers provide individual Web sites with redundant connectivity, 99 percent uptime and 24/7 monitoring for a fraction of the cost of a dedicated server.

Intended Clients and Uses Shared servers are an excellent solution for entry-level hosting needs. Designed to host small scale e-commerce sites and static Web pages, shared servers offer first-time Webmasters a reliable Web presence without advanced technical skills.

Server Response Time The activity of other sites and the number of other sites on the server can affect shared server performance.

Flexibility and Scalability As you are restricted to the server box space, upgrade capacity is primarily focused on disk size and throughput.

Software Shared Servers are limited to the software that is installed by hosting provider.

No technical skills required to use a shared server.

Shared server hosting provides a cost-effective way for entry-level Webmasters to maintain a reliable Web presence without extensive technical resources.
