Website hosting

It is crucial to understand the differences among the types of hosting offered as you really need to make sure that you are getting a good service in terms of your hosting options.

Shared hosting means that you are sharing a server with other websites. The server is managed by us and you maintain your account and site(s). However, many websites use, or share, the resources of that server.

Multi Domain hosting allow you to host a number of separate accounts each being totally separate from the others in our shared hosting environment. This is very much like shared hosting with the main difference is that you purchase a larger set of resources and are free to divide it up as you see fit.

Dedicated Server hosting allow you to have a full server which is not shared allowing for more customisation and resources.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a hosting platform which looks, acts and feels exactly like a full dedicated server but shares the resources used between other VPSs on the same host node (the physical machine hosting the VPS).This is ideal for clients who want the features of a dedicated server without requiring the full power of a whole server.

Location. As well as the types of hosting you then have a choice of location. Although, US hosted servers tend to be cheaper than UK hosted you need to make an informed decision as it may impact your Search Engine Results (SERPS). The search engines tend to filter the results based on locality. This means for a UK based search preference would be given to domains with .co.uk or a domain hosted in the UK. This is why Praeparo offer a complete range of UK and US hosted servers.
