Server Sharing
In a server sharing solution, a single machine is made to look like
many different ones, responding to multiple addresses or URL's. There
could be potentially hundreds, even thousands of web sites residing in a
single server. The resources of the server (memory, disc, processor time,
internet bandwidth) are shared by all of these web sites, so there are
very few guarantees as to the level of service that you might get.
On the other hand, server sharing is the cheapest solution to host your
web site when you want to have your own address (e.g. "http://www.your_name.com"),
and there are some server companies that provide a higher level of service
by limiting the number of web sites in each server, or somewhat preventing
a web site to monopolize all of the available resources.
Server sharing is the best solution for a web presence where you
expect up to a few hundred visitors daily, and gives you low cost, and the
prestige of your own web address. Prices vary according to the amount of
disk space and monthly bandwidth required; we have a plan that best meets
your needs and budget. Please contact us for a
