Difference Shared Hosting vs Dedicated Server – Which is the best for you ??

Essentially, there are 2 options in regards to web hosting solutions. You can host your website via a shared server  or look into dedicated servers.

Either option comes with its own pros and cons.

Shared Hosting

In most cases, shared servers are utilized by website owners who are working with a tight budget and whose websites do not need a robust server solution.

If your main goal is to post a personal blog or a one-page website detailing basic information about a service you offer, a shared hosting would be the appropriate choice.
Shared servers come equipped with plenty of disk space and bandwidth for the small-business owner and the expense only costs several dollars per month, all without the typical maintenance issues associated with having a dedicated server account.

The down side of shared servers is that resources such as CPU and RAM are shared with dozens of other websites. Your IP is also shared.
The sharing may cause down times and slow access to your site and times (shouldn’t be too often though), because traffic picks and server bottlenecks caused by other sites may affect your site as well.

Dedicated Server

Once your website is large enough for you to consider paying for the technology of a dedicated server, you will know that you are finally among the other “big boys” of the Internet.

While some providers of dedicated server hosting offer to fully manage your server (at an additional cost of course), you can choose to save some money by handling the technical stuff on your own.
However, if you are not skilled enough as an administrator, you run the risk of facing complicated situations. On the up side, you are in complete control of every part of your site.

Remember, do not select from among cheap hosting providers if your site requires a great deal of bandwidth as well as disk space, even if you feel confident that your website will grow in the future. Make the right choice in the beginning and prevent problems in the future.

We at SiliconHouse.Net provide both shared as well as dedicated servers to meet your requirements.

Tips to Effectively Promote Your Website

When it comes to online marketing, one too many people have the perception that “if you build it, they will come”. Unfortunately, succeeding involves far more than just creating a website. With literally billions of pages on the web, it is very unlikely that someone will just run into your website. People know what they are looking for and those that do stumble upon your site – well, they could be looking to litter your inbox with spam or worse. Simply put – if your website isn’t promoted, it will become buried deep within a corner of the web it may never be seen by anyone that matters.

Smart Web Design

Effective website promotion all begins with design. You could have the most beneficial product or service online, yet if your site looks unprofessional, visitors will not take you serious. Your site should have a professional design and encourage your visitors to stick around. Aside from appearance, your website should be designed in a manner that helps to naturally increase your visibility. This means optimizing it to be search engine friendly. Make sure your content is rich with relevant text and keywords your ideal customer is likely to type into a search engine box. You should also reach out to other people in your market and exchange links. Learning to capitalize off keywords and link popularity can help you generate traffic that consists of prospects with a general interest in what you are offering. A finely designed website lays the foundation and could make your promotion efforts that much easier.

Advertising

Though it may seem obvious, some get so caught up in SEO that they underestimate the value of good old fashion advertising. This of course, will require an investment on your part but can be very effective if you choose the right avenues. There are many ways you can go about this such as purchasing ads on other sites or signing up for Google Adsense and other pay-per-click campaigns. Banner exchange programs have also been effective and tend to be one of the most affordable ways to promote a website.

Final Thoughts

There are a number of ways to effectively promote your website from newsletters to email campaigns. The key is to formulate a workable plan and stick to it – even when the going gets rough. You don’t have to obtain a million hits per month to be successful online, however, without promoting your site, it is likely that no one will even know it exists.
