Before examining the subtle differences between business class web hosting, and normal shared hosting, we have to look at the different pricing. Naturally, as the name suggests, the more costly of the two is business hosting. You should never fall into the trap of thinking because you have paid more than the going rate, you will get a better service. In fact, many of those charging archaic outdated prices are simply behind with the times and technology and best avoiding. Thankfully there are a great many business class web hosts, that for a few pounds more a month, are worth their weight in gold. That's why it is worth thinking about business website hosting.Business class hosting is normally used for mission critical environments. Whatever the customer might say, their personal blog is not important. There are those that think the world is about to come to an end because their Tenerife holiday photos have gone offline at 4am. What this person forgets is they are normally paying around a pound a month. Real business class hosting should be expected to cost a little more. The extra cost is certainly worth the enhanced hosting experience. The server hardware is going to be up to much more. This may alarm you, but there are web hosts that use desktops to host their customer's services. Does that make you feel in safe hands? I wouldn't have thought so! A business class host will pay thousands of pounds per server to offer you the very best in terms of reliability and lower the chances of things going wrong. Hard disks in a RAID array create redundancy. There will be backups in place for peace of mind. The servers will be racked in the very best datacentres. The datacentre will employ the latest security to keep your data up and intact. Business class hosts take security seriously. Pretty much anyone can rent a dedicated server, install Cpanel and start a hosting company. They can buy a very nice looking website template and claim to have hundreds of employees. However, when they do get hacked, you'll find out the hard way. Business class web hosts will have the knowledge and experience to properly lock down their servers to keep the bad guys out.Again with the standard web host you can very often get lucky with the standard of support. However for just a little more you buy good techs and peace of mind. If your query is trivial, allow time as it isn't important. However if it is 5am and you need help and fast, expect that business class host to appear in shining armour!
