When in the market for web hosting you can get stuck when looking for dedicated or shared web hosting. With each they have their advantages and disadvantages. First we will define them both before we go any further. In shared hosting there are multiple accounts on one server giving you a piece of the server for your site. With dedicated hosting you are getting the entire server to yourself and you get to usually have more options about the server.
Both are good option it depends on what you need. When starting up a site shared hosting is usually the best option. With most web hosting companies you will get enough space and bandwidth for your needs. Though with dedicated web hosting you are safer if your site quickly gains the attention of Google and starts pouring traffic to it. Shared servers can shut you down if you bring in too much traffic. Having a dedicated server will protect you in that situation. The worst case scenario is that you have to purchase more bandwidth for the month if an increased amount of traffic comes through. And usually if traffic starts coming in that fast you will be making money.
As you go to purchase web hosting you will need to look at the upgrade options. Most companies have dedicated and shared hosting available. Because of this they will offer upgrade packages that they can quickly implement. This allows you to start with shared hosting and then move to dedicated when necessary. This makes it possible to make money before you need to spend a lot on hosting.
