subject: Why Uk Business Web Hosting Performs Better Than Shared Hosting In Every Aspect [print this page] Before explaining how business hosting and shared hosting differ, it is important to look at pricing. Naturally, as the name suggests, the more costly of the two is business hosting. Don't fall foul to the notion that paying more gets more. In fact, many of those charging archaic outdated prices are simply behind with the times and technology and best avoiding.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 is why it is worth considering business website hosting.
Business class hosting is normally used for mission critical situations. Whatever the personal blog owner might claim otherwise, their uptime isn't of vital importance. I know from running a web hosting company that some people believe that the world is going to melt because their holiday photos are offline at 3am. This kind of person is rather deluded, and miss the price they are paying per month- sometimes as little as a pound! Real business class hosting should be expected to cost a little more. However with that you are going to buy yourself into a number of perks. The server hardware is going to be up to much more. Believe it or not there are some hosts out there hosting your websites on a 'server' similar to the desktop you are reading this on now. Are you happy with that prospect? I didn't think so! Business hosting companies pay thousands for each of their high end servers. A RAID array will be employed with the very best hard disks. There will be backups in place for peace of mind. The servers will be in a business class datacentre with super cooling and on-site datacentre staff. The datacentre will employ the latest security to keep your data up and intact.
Business class hosts always look after the security of a server. Pretty much anyone can rent a dedicated server, install Cpanel and start a hosting company. It isn't difficult to buy a website template and tell the world you have offices. You will learn the hard way when this host is hacked. Business class website hosts have the expert knowledge to lock down the server and keep it safe.
A standard web host will often give you a good level of support. However for a fraction more, you have server techs with excellent skills for peace of mind. If your query is trivial, allow time as it isn't important. However if you need help at 3am because your website has gone down, your business class web host should already know about it, have emailed you to inform you, and be fixing the issue.
