Shared WebHosting Drawbacks

Shared Hosting drawbacks

Recently I wrote an article about Shared Hosting Benefits. Now let's talk about Shared Hosting Drawbacks

• Resources sharing
  
  The main drawback of a shared hosting is that your web applications share server's resources (cpu, bandwidth, memory, etc.) between other customers, which slows down the server.
  


• Access to server
  
  Another inconvenience is that you don't have access to server, so you can't install any application that you might need.
  


• Limited disk space, bandwidth, etc
  
  
  Disk space, bandwidth are limited on a shared hosting plan.
  


• Shared IP Address
  
  On a shared hosting plan IP Address is shared between customers, so private SSL certificates cannot be used.
  


• Limited ports
  
  Some ports that you might need are closed for security reasons.
  


• Security
  
  E-commerce web sites usually deal with credit cards, I don't recommend shared hosting for this type of operations.
  


• Overselling
  
  
  Many shared hosting providers are oversold.
  

BlueHost Reviews

If you've had any good or bad experience with BlueHost please feel free to add your comments about this hosting.

This is the best not-oversold shared hosting provider. You can host up to 6 domains, which is pretty good for a shared webhosting plan.

If you consider hosting more than 6 domains, probably you should think about a dedicated server.

Monthly price is only $6.95. Free setup. No hidden fees.

So let's see what's so great about BlueHost:

• 200 Gigabyte Hosting Space


• Host 6 Domains on 1 Account!!! Remember, this is not an oversold hosting provider, so it's performance is higher than other overselling hosting providers.


• 2,000 GIGS of Transfer


• SSH (Secure Shell), SSL, FTP, Stats


• CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL


• 2000/2002/2003 Front Page Extensions


• Free Domain Forever!


• 24/7 Superb/Responsive Sales/Support


• Search Engine Submission FREE

These are only few features, Bluhost offers much more. View all hosting features from BlueHost.
