As the
name implies, small business web hosting is a hosting package
tailored to meet the requirements of small businesses. Low
priced and affordable, this type of hosting is characterized by
a comparably smaller disk space and lower bandwidth. This plan
may also be provided with other features common to most hosting
packages like email accounts, statistical reports, database
management capability, and e-commerce.
The small business web hosting scheme is ideal for those who are
just starting to put up their own websites, be it for personal
or business use. Examples would be the one-page sites for
professionals and artists, online catalogues for small business
establishments, and even individual blogs.
With the small business hosting package, the server is shared by
many small websites. Each site is usually provided a storage
space as small as 30 MB or as big as 350 MB. On the other hand,
each site's bandwidth allows data transfer from 2 GB to 20 GB
per month. Email and FTP accounts are usually bundled in the
package, although the number may either be unlimited or pegged,
depending on the hosting company. Add-ons and other domains may
or may not be allowed under the plan. However, this type of
hosting normally includes provisions for My SQL, Php, Perl and
other scripting languages, website building tools and editors,
as well as shopping carts, either for free or for an additional
amount.
Pricing largely depends on the elements included in the package.
There are hosting companies that offer rock bottom rates of
about a dollar per month for the most basic plan. Still, the
more advanced features bundled with the package command a higher
price of about $50 per month.
