Shared Vs. Dedicated Hosting

One of the first decisions someone seeking a web host has to address is whether to obtain shared or dedicated hosting. As you might have already gathered, there are two sides to this story. Let me try to put it all together. We must first consider the issue of server access.

It goes without saying but, the shared hosting option is whereby you’d share the server with other sites. Sharing, we have been told, is good. Of course, there are exceptions, and that might be the case in the hosting scene. For, you see, sharing limits access. By that I mean, you access things through Cpanel, which is controlled by the hosting company. That means they can limit access.

This has ramifications throughout your web site. In contrast, with a dedicated host server gives you relinquish no control. Sounds good. See, you then have the final say with regards to your web site. Not only that, dedicated hosting additionally provides you access to the remote desktop manager, which allows you to have access to the machines desktop.

Best 1-Click Web Hosting

Below is a brief history of 1-Click webhosters.

A few years back there was a flurry of 1-click file hosting sites. The phrase originates from the ease of uploading provided by the web hosting sites in question. Rather than being hamstrung by esoteric FTP programs, hosting clients can instead easily locate files from their HDD (aka hard drive or hard disk drive) or easily drag and paste them into search engine browser. Then all one need to do is click of a button and, voila, their files would upload. Once the files have been uploaded, the individual will be given a link which they can give to others to access on demand.

The market was soon saturated with providers, most of whom have since bitten the dust. However, still holding firm is Rapidshare©.

Rapidshare© is an upper echelon 1-click hosting entity based in Europe. Over time they have increased storage space and bandwidth capacity, keeping up with demand. This service is quite popular. As testament to this, its Alexa Traffic Rank (a measure of site traffic) is 187 at the time of this writing. To put things in perspective, there are millions of sites monitored by Alexa, and this site is in the top 200 (in terms of web traffic). More evidence of its popularity is its over 100,000 incoming links.

Granted, popularity in numbers isn’t automatically a surefire sign of value. However, through a perusal of online resources, one can deduce that Rapidshare is a leader in the competition laden file sharing industry.
