Web hosting plans

The four main benefits from shared hosting are:

• Cost Effective - The most obvious advantage is the low price. For smaller, newer sites, shared hosting is typically the most optimal since it is the least expensive and still provides an ample amount of bandwidth, power, and memory.
• Efficient - Shared hosting ensures that your company is being efficient with its resources. You pay for what you actually need, rather than sinking in more money for bandwidth or memory you be unlikely to require.
• Convenient - Your shared web hosting with Dotster is managed by skilled experts. They focus on maintaining server health, leaving you the time to focus on your business. This labor specialization also increases your efficiency.
• Customizable - Even though your server space is shared, your website is still 100% customizable to your specifications.

Shared hosting plans are the cheapest of the three options. It provides a smaller amount of memory, bandwidth, and power and is typically intended for smaller companies with low to moderate site traffic.

Dedicated Hosting

Dedicated hosting is the equivalent of owning your own home. It is entirely yours, and no one else can use it without your expressed permission. For dedicated hosting, the server is dedicated to powering a single domain giving you the most power, bandwidth, and memory.

Dedicated hosting is not for everyone and generally provides more resources than the average business requires. Dedicated hosting is ideal for very large companies that regularly experience a high volume of internet traffic or sales, or require a large amount of disk space. Dedicated hosting grants you the greatest flexibility, customization, and security of the three types of hosting but is also the most expensive.
