Is Shared Hosting Enough for Your Website?

While shared hosting is, in a technical sense, the most modest type of web hosting, it is typically enough for most small businesses and sites that don’t need a lot of resources. In most cases, it can deliver more than enough for all your needs, and you’ll get shared hosting at an affordable price.

What is Shared Hosting, and What are its Advantages?

Shared hosting describes a type of hosting environment where at least two websites share the resources of a single server. In reality, there are typically hundreds of sites on the same hardware.

If you’re starting a new business or looking to build a new website, you’ll need some form of hosting. Shared hosting is the most affordable option. Your website will be stored as data on a server, which is essentially a specialized type of computer running dedicated software. Because most sites don’t need the full power of the hardware, multiple sites are hosted to improve efficiency. The result is an affordable solution, but it comes with limitations.

Before we talk about the limitations of shared hosting, let’s consider the main advantages…

      • It’s the ideal solution for low-traffic websites.
      • If your site is efficient and resource-light, shared hosting could be the best option.
      • There are no major technical requirements to get set up with shared hosting.
      • Scalability is an option, allowing you to add resources as you need them.
      • Management is easy through intuitive cPanel interfaces.
      • If you need to build a WordPress website, there are shared hosting plans designed specifically for you.

The cost and convenience are major advantages of choosing shared hosting. Depending on how much traffic you need, and how heavy your website gets, shared hosting could be all that you ever need. Continue reading Is Shared Hosting Enough for Your Website?

HostRound Launches Managed SSD VPS Hosting Service in 2018

VPS hosting is the latest addition to our product lineup, offering an excellent alternative for anyone that needs a light, moderate or even intensive traffic solution.

Reliable hosting solutions should be affordable for businesses that want to establish an online presence and remain competitive. At HostRound, we’ve invested heavily in new technologies and infrastructure that allow us to offer affordable hosting packages that free you from storage, speed, and feature constraints.

Why Choose a VPS Hosting Solution?

VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting allows for a virtually isolated machine that can be accessed and configured as if it were a standalone resource. HostRound makes the VPS even more attractive by using Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) infrastructure. The benefit of this technology is that KVM provides real virtualization where allocated resources are not shared between different virtual servers on the same hardware (Server). The result is faster and more reliable performance, without slowdowns that can be caused by overprovisioning. VPS provides full control over your hosting environment with root access and much more power than shared hosting, so you can install any software you want and host projects of any size.

Intel Xeon Processing Power with Kernel-Based Virtualization

Processing power matters with any server hosting solution, and at HostRound we use some of the most powerful Intel Xeon server processors to provide you with maximum speed and efficiency.

Intel’s E5 server CPU’s are utilized, with the E5-1650 v4 being the most commonly found in HostRound’s servers. These CPU’s are built on 14nm technology which improves efficiency without sacrificing performance. 6 cores / 12 threads, 15MB of SmartCache and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.0GHz per core makes these CPU’s perfect for a virtual private server environment.
