    Anyone using Shared hosting instead of full dedicated

    I've been thinking about Phatservers Shared hosting
    http://phatservers.net/hosting_plans/shared/index.html
    Only 4 Users per machine for $75

    Short of dedicated isn't this a good deal?
    Whats the the dowside if there is one?
    .
    .

    Arguing with a troll is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

      unless VPS, the downside is if that one ( or more ) of the 4 users is taping in too much ressources, you are affected.
      This is for every host.

      But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

        But don't the host allocated only so much resource for each user
        It IS what it IS

          Just for SEO... for large scale stuff, dedicated is the only way to go imho..

            I use dreamhost and it's okay for shared. Cheap deals. But if you get listed somewhere with a ton of traffic they will shut you down without warning and then throttle you from then on out.

              I've been using shared hosting with phatservers ~2 years ago. And it was working very well. I LOVE their support. Answer within 5 minutes or less.

                Wouldn't a virtual shared account offer potentially more power than one of the $200 dedicateds?
                unless of course you get hammered with 3 other heavy users...

                  I’ve been looking at hosting packages also. I was thinking of a dedicated server, because it isn’t that much more. Now I’m not so sure. Semi dedicated is probably just as good.

                  I like the idea of keeping my properties on a box of their own though.

                      please stop ... every fucking thread were the word HOSTING shows up, you spam your useless shit.
                      Kill your bot, and read what the guy was discussing.

                        Only on a VPS ( Virtual Private Server ).


                        This offer is basically a regular virtual account, with fixed accounts.

                        Since the specs are pretty high in space/bw, I would presume that people buying that WILL use the ressources, unlike the normal small virtual accounts ...

                        Now, that box as a dedicated, is worth about 139.00 $US....

                          I know directfiesta just had a rant at cash for "spamming" about DH, but ... if you do go with dreamhost, you can get the full $97 off using LONDON97 (see http://london-seo.com/how-to-make-mo...7-discount/38/ for info about it... using that doesn't direcly make me anything, and gets you the full discount)

                          I use dreamhost. They're good. I find their support (email) very very fast and good. Although I know some people havn't had the same experience.

                              not a rant .... ( and by the way, I havean account with them www.fistingvideos.info that I use for testing).
                              Just that in another thread where another poster was asking for Europe hosting, CASH posted the exact ( I repeat: exact ) same post. ....
                              So if somebody asked for a load balanced server, he will also post his stupid spam ...
                              At least, he should spam where he has a chance of getting business

                                  pretty cheap ... for galleries, static website and similar, it should be fine, but the BW is quite limited ( 512 kbps )

                                  165 gb per month !!!

                                  If you intend to use that for heavy database use ( Comus, WP, SiteDepth), it could be challenged ...

                                      If VPS, yes. At least it should be.

                                        Out of curiosity how many users do most hosts put on a virtual box?
                                        .
                                        .

                                        Arguing with a troll is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

                                            Some of the shared hosting is better then dedicated servers people have. better back ups and newer more streamlined machines. If you don't have a high cpu needs then shared if fine in most cases. maybe see what the server specs are. If they are using a ide drive then it's an older server and probably not very good for shared. I would make sure they are using sata just so you know it's a newer server.

                                                That really depends on the host I would presume.

                                                Some hosts make their customers share IP's on a virtual box, others (like GWH) do not share IP's.
