WINDOWS SHARED HOSTING

Linux and Windows are two different operating systems that are used to create a web Hosting environment on our servers on which you can rent web space. On Windows servers you need to pay a license fee for the Operating System. Linux is Open Source and you do not have to pay for licenses. Over 60% of the websites in the whole internet run on Linux servers. Your computer has nothing to do with it. You can perfectly visit a website that we host on a Linux server with your Windows computer.

Because in shared web hosting server resources are shared between a number of accounts, if traffic to a particular website spikes, it will utilize more of the resources available than the other websites. This means that the performance of your website is often at the mercy of other, better performing web sites on the same server. In addition, being shared, hacker activity, malware, viruses, and any disruptive activity (DOS attacks, etc.) directed at a particular web site could impact all the accounts on a server. Furthermore, because of users’ lack of control of server resources, they are wholly dependent on the support provided by a host. If support is under par, this can lead to tremendous frustration on behalf of the user. The quality of support is key to most people’s decision regarding which web host to use.

The number of accounts on one physical server is entirely up to the web host, and as such, those considering shared hosting should consider very carefully which web host they use

A dedicated IP (Internet Protocol) is a unique Internet address dedicated exclusively to a single hosting account. Normally, several hosting accounts reside on a single server and share that server's IP address. Dedicated IP addresses are usually used for large SSL-encrypted secure websites and particularly large and/or traffic-heavy sites. Most shared hosting users have no particular need for a dedicated IP address. However, a dedicated IP address for your hosting account enables you to:
• View your website via its IP address.
• Access your accounts by FTP or the Web when the domain name is otherwise inaccessible, such as during domain name propagation periods.
• Ensure faster response during periods of high traffic load.
• Set up SSL protection on your website.

Most shared hosting users have little need for a dedicated IP address. However, a dedicated IP address does provide certain advantages. Generally speaking, a dedicated IP allows you to:
• View your website via its IP address.
