Well, dedicated website hosting is much more secure than Shared Web Hosting U. If any site on shared sever is hacked then it can affect other web sites too.
However there are certain factors that are often overlooked or not deemed important to consider when making a hosting decision. This factor has nothing to do with the functionality of your website. Rather, it determines how the search engines treat your website.
If this is your first website and you are just getting started on the Web (Internet) you may be confused by all the web hosting offers on the internet. A good rule of thumb would be to do a web search for the term Affordable Web Hosting and from the results returned, go to each company and see what they have to offer and then use the company which you feel has the most Affordable Web Hosting package. It is that simple.
You can still get a decent storage space from these providers. This is a great benefit for you and you will be lucky if you can find one with unlimited storage space. A cheap web hosting service provider commonly offers from 5 to 75 GB of storage space (depending on the plan) and this actually pretty good for the amount of the money you pay.
Web Host Country - Depending on your market, this could be the most important consideration, and often the most overlooked. The physical location of your host servers can have an impact on your business if your target market is in your own country. Google UK, for example offer the option of either a UK only or a world-wide search. If you want to feature in the UK only searches it is far better to have your website hosted by a company who has its actual servers in the UK. Be aware that some Shared Web Hosting UK hosting companies who appear to be UK based companies actually have their servers located in other countries. Always ask!
Many people have no idea what web hosting is. Web hosting provider is someone who will allow you to upload and download files into their server. Basically you hire a web space from them and you will be uploading your website files so that if someone comes and visit you, they will see your web pages which will be downloaded from the web space where you store them.
