What is Shared Hosting?
To have a presence on the Internet, you need a website. Web hosting provides this. When you visit any website in your browser, you visit a website that someone uploaded and set up with their web hosting provider.
Larger companies like Facebook, Google, and Netflix have their own servers, their own developers, and their own in-house staff. Their operation encompasses a much more vast Internet footprint. They all have their own web hosting, but their company is so large they own the whole infrastructure that they use. They own the datacenter, server racks, and the full trunk of Internet connections providing bandwidth at their datacenters.
However, the vast majority of businesses in the world, they're just not that large (yet) and can't afford all of the same infrastructure cost and they really don't need that much power driving their websites. This is where Shared Hosting comes in.
Shared Hosting takes a web hosting server and divides it up into smaller chunks so that smaller companies or individuals can put up their presence on the Internet. We make no bones about it, shared hosting is not the place for the Facebooks, Googles, and Netflixes of the world. Those companies need many more resources than Shared Hosting can provide. But if you're just getting started with your business or whatever endeavor you want to have an Internet presence, Shared Hosting is a cost-effective way to make that happen. Many of the large corporations that you see today, started out small and grew and grew into what they are today. Shared Hosting from BlazingHost is a great way to get started with your Internet presence.
Who is Shared Hosting for?
Shared Hosting is for anyone with an idea, hobby, or business that wants to have a presence on the Internet. We live in a world with information overload! We get inundated with information all the time and it's sometimes hard to hold the attention of prospective customers or individuals that share your hobby or idea. Having a website, where you can lay out information about your business or idea and telling people to visit your website where they can learn more about your business or idea at their convenience is a great way to connect with people. Instead of having to tell everyone what your business or idea offers - in the short amount of time you have their attention, you can just encourage them to visit your website at their convenience.
Shared Hosting provides a cost-effective way of allowing you to do that. We encourage everyone to dream big, we hope your business or idea takes off and you outgrow shared hosting! But until it does, Shared Hosting is an easy, simple, and cost-effective means of getting your message out there, whatever that message may be!
Whether your website needs to provide simple information about your business or idea, provide a means of connecting and interacting with prospective customers or individuals, or even if you need to sell a product - Shared Hosting can be the cost-effective means to do that.
