Shared Web Hosting
For individuals or small to medium sized businesses that cannot afford the high cost of a dedicated server, the shared or "virtual" web hosting solution might be the best choice. This solution provides customers a way to outsource their Internet requirements in a more affordable way.
Shared web hosting is designed to host small-scale e-commerce sites web pages and is often used by first-time webmasters because they can have a reliable Web presence without having advanced technical know-how.
Virtual web hosting is the process of running a number of "virtual" web servers on a single physical host computer. This enables a single computer to host thousands of independent web sites. Commercial web hosting service providers often use this technique to be able to manage their hosting infrastructure and be able to offer efficient and scalable hosting service.
