Which package - UK Web Hosting | Dedicated Server Windows and Linux VPS Forum

Hi

I have Linux package with 3 websites on it of which only 1 is live.

I have another site which I am going to bring over to Euk.
This site is going to get a revamp with audio & flash added.

I am using a shared package at the moment.

What are the advantages of using other types like semi/dedicated hosting.

Also is it better to have a separate hosting packaged for each site.

With shared hosting, you can host multiple websites without the need of seperate hosting packages

But it all depends on the amount of space and bandwidth you require. If you think your shared hosting package has enough bandwidth and space for each website you're hosting - then you'll be okay

Semi-Dedicated hosting is almost like having your own dedicated server. You have your own OS installation with your own root access to your semi-dedicated package, and will be able to change PHP settings, Apache settings and software versions as per your request.

Semi-Dedicated is exactly like a VPS package, except there will only be 4 semi-dedicated setups on one server, whereas with VPS hosting, there can be up to 20 setups on one server.

Semi-Dedicated/VPS are usually for those who are more technically mature and know how to manage a server effectively. However, eUKhost VPS/Semi-Dedicated & Dedicated Server packages are all fully managed.

Thank you for your advise.

Band wide is not a problem as I can easily upgrade to a bigger account.

Notice on another thread that I can only get stats for all package not each site so this may temp me to have 2 different hosting packages.

Got to say I very confident that which ever package I go for the support from Euk will be very good.

Is my site open the threats/problems other than bandwidth if I'm sharing with 20 people?

There wont be any problems if your usage is well within the resources allotted to you. In regards to bandwidth, you can upgrade to next higher plan at any point of time. There wont be any downtime involved.
