Hosting

General

Traditionally web hosting is provided by either Shared hosting or Dedicated hosting.

Shared hosting, provides low end services for website owners that have basic website needs, where a large number of websites are hosted on a single server, but with restrictions on access (eg no Telnet).

Dedicated server hosting provides a single account to meet the needs of sophisticated website owners who demand robust and mission critical performance and/or high security.

Unfortunately, many Website owners do not fit into either of the above categories. Once shared hosting customers begin to augment their sites, they require more services that are unavailable through a shared hosting solutions. In addition, these Website owners do not justify the transition to a dedicated server solution. As a result, this customer segment does not receive a full solution for its Website needs. Having a dedicated server with its constant demands for technical support and enhanced Website functionality, it can become an unprofitable burden.

Internet Intuitive offers Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS) which bridges the gap between shared hosting and dedicated hosting. VDS offers all the security and flexibility of a dedicated server but in a shared environment; all VDS's are sand boxed for security, but as a number of VDSs can share the same server, the cost of hosting is greatly reduced.

Many Website/Customers competing for the same system resources.	The servers resources are evenly split among a limited number of sites.	A single server totally dedicated to the needs of a single site.

Other hosting providers may offer you just shared hosting... but why compromise your site security - insist on VDS Hosting
