Thread: What kind of hosting

I was just looking at different hosting services and was wondering how many people use dedicated hosting?

I myself do not use the dedicated hosting package but will soon.

I don't need a dedicated right now.

But maybe after some time if WMP grows...

I am on a shared hosting plan. It is enough for my site.

I use Dedicated, but since I am a web host, that is sort of the norm.

Do you mind if I ask why you are looking into a Dedicated Host, maybe I can help to determine if it is needed?

Currently not hosted at all, the largest package was a VPS.

Try grid hosting of Go Daddy ... its good. And cheap.

I am fine with it, but heard bad reviews abt GD ...

Before I became a host, I tried GoDaddy. I closed by account in less then 24 hours.

They have become masters of packing as many people as possible on a single server, I believe the count is between 2,000 and 6,000 accounts per server. I noticed several performance issues in my first 48 hours that I packed up and left.

As a host, I can say that it is possible to place 100-400 accounts on a server to save money, but I would never overload a server like that.

I am on shared hosting.

On a single server limited no. of clients should be placed. I heard many bad reviews about godaddy too

I'm using ServInt's Enterprise VPS, which I find seem to offer the same features as some Dedicated Servers.
