FIND THE HOTTEST WEB HOST
The term "shared hosting" refers to several terms used interchangeably: shared Web hosting, budget Web hosting and personal Web hosting. While they may sound like different products, they are based on the same idea: placing multiple accounts on a server lets hosting companies offer better rates. In fact, all Web hosting packages under $20 monthly are shared.
When choosing a Web hosting account, you will sometimes be presented with the option to choose between a Windows or Linux Web hosting account. For the purposes of personal Web hosting or small business Web hosting, there is little difference, unless you have specific database or programming language preferences (and most beginner sites do not).
How much Web hosting is enough?
Because shared Web hosting is so inexpensive, there are limits to the amount of storage space and bandwidth, and the number of email accounts you typically receive. However, if you think you're in the market for a shared Web hosting account, ask yourself this: how much do I really need?
Consider what a shared Web hosting account is good for. As its alternative names (like "personal Web hosting" and "budget Web hosting") better indicate, shared Web hosting is suitable for personal and small business sites. If you want to build a site of 50 pages or less, need fewer than three dozen email addresses and don't expect millions of visitors a month, get a shared Web hosting account. Some hosting companies will try to sell you souped-up shared hosting accounts full of bells and whistles - storage, email and bandwidth being the most popular upgrades - but chances are you won't need them. 100 megabytes of space, 10 to 50 email addresses, and 20 to 50 gigabytes of bandwidth is plenty of leeway to build a large site. If you ever need more, chances are your Website has become extremely popular, and that's a good problem to have.
