Okay. Just wanted to tell some people why shared hosting isn’t really an alterantive for most serious businesses.

This is why – the unlimited space, transfer, bandwidth etc is just a sales pitch. It doesnt mean anything unless your hosting a site without a database and who does that nowadays? mmmhhh not many.

What is the number of allowed simultaneous database connections? That’s what you should ask the hosting company. A lot of companies would say maybe 12-15 which means your screwed if a lot of people starts to visiting your site and screwed if you paid for a expensive ad campaign.

VPS managed or unmanaged (if you don’t understand) is a better solution and not as expensive as a dedicated server. Start with VPS.
