Lots of new as well as more experienced internet marketers struggle with whether they should be using reseller hosting or shared hosting for their needs. Many do not even understand the differences between the two. The two kinds of hosting though are the most familiar for internet marketers the world over. Although some do make use of dedicated hosting, this should only be considered when your presence online has grown to such an extent that your current hosting can’t handle it any more.
On the whole, internet marketers around the world prefer shared or reseller hosting to anything else. Both types have features and options suitable for internet marketers with different sized sites. You have to ask though – what one is the best for your situation?
As a rule, those just starting out and who have only one or two small sites with little traffic often find that shared hosting is adequate. This is because whereas shared hosting cost only about five dollars per month, reseller hosting comes in at around twenty-five dollars; it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that reseller hosting isn’t for you quite yet.
Conversely, having lots of websites, or planning to add more in the future, then going for reseller makes more sense. Normal reseller plans usually consist of having around 250GB of bandwidth each month along with 25GB of disk space to be playing with. Just so you can compare these numbers, a normal website would use around 2Gb of bandwidth each month, while using only about 75MB of disk space.
As you can see, with reseller hosting you can have many small to medium sized websites hosted. This obviously makes more sense than having shared hosting. Looking at the example above then, you can see that reseller and shared hosting issues needn’t be confusing.
