Crucial Things To Know About Choosing The Cheap USA Server

There are many different things to consider when choosing a cheap USA servers company. So, we decided to give a basic overview of what you should look for when picking the perfect hosting company for your website. For the sake of brevity, we will focus on Shared Server Hosting.



Shared or Dedicated

There are two main types of hosting: Shared and Dedicated. The big difference between the two is speed, resource demand, and control. For most small businesses and individuals shared hosting is sufficient. For large businesses that need complete control over the entire server, a dedicated server plan allows you to have full root (superuser) access to the server to configure it however you want or need. Again, most shared servers are sufficient for common websites. Also, the difference in price could be anywhere from $150-$300 per month!

Operating System Type

There are two primary operating systems you might confront in your search for website hosting: Linux and Windows. Some of you might have an immediate desire to choose a Windows server because you are familiar with a Windows PC. However, the interface is not exactly like your computer. The main reason to go with a Windows hosting plan is if you use a Microsoft scripting language like ASP.NET (webpages that have an .aspx or .asp at the end). Linux is a free and open operating system which makes Linux hosting plans cheaper. Also, most Linux plans provide you with an easy-to-use control panel (like cPanel).
