There are many types of web hosting account for hosting your website on the net. If you like to get maximum reliability and safety for your website you need to go for managed or dedicated web hosting. Managed web hosting is nothing but purchasing a server which is dedicated for your website alone. But many people may not go for managed web hosting since it costs them more. Shared web hosting can cost you less since you share your server with other website holders. Incase if there are any spam sites on the server, the whole server may become inactive which is the major disadvantage of shared web hosting. Even though shared web hosting is the most common type of web hosting since it is the cheapest solution for hosting a website on one’s own.

There are a plenty of differences between managed and shared web hosting since there are the two extreme ends of web hosting types. Many people who wish to start a website for their small scale company or business opts for shared web hosting. This is because newly started business or companies may not yield much profit and hence an entrepreneur cannot spend much on hosting the company’s website. A website is a must when you start a company since it is a major source of marketing for your business. So depending on the turn over of your business you may start a web hosting account. A server may have certain bandwidth and space for storage and it shared between few clients by a host. This is known as shared web hosting.

When you purchase a managed web hosting account you are the only owner for that server and you can start many domains on it as you please and upload any amount data on it. There are no restrictions for you on a managed web hosting and you can get full support for your website at all the time. Incase if you are facing any problem with your website such as download link not working or all the items are not being displayed properly or else your site is taking so much time to load, you can make a compliant to your host and your problem will be solved soon. The maintenance work will also be very fine and takes only very less time and it will be done periodically. But in shared web hosting, the support will be much less from the host since he needs to attend many clients and also you will be having some limit on bandwidth and space even though they may claim that to be unlimited. Hence choose a web hosting account wisely according to the needs of your business.
