Shared Web Space Server
by Mohan Kapoor, Supervisor, Himalayan Websites
Web Space Servers are well suited to deliver static content over the Internet, such as web pages or downloadable archives. They can also be used to make data backups over the Internet.
To make use of our managed Web Space Servers you must buy or already own a domain name from a registrar. Then you need to allow us to handle your domain at a DNS level, e.g. your domain has to point to domain name servers of our choosing.
The differences between dedicated and shared Web Space Servers are as follows:
-
With a dedicated Web Space Server you are the only business or institution using it, with a shared Web Space Server other businesses or institutions will use the same hardware and software.
-
Dedicated Web Space Servers come with a generous 100 GB monthly transfer allowance. Shared Web Space Servers come with 15 GB monthly transfer allowance per domain.
-
Shared Web Space Servers allocate 4 GB of Web Space to a single domain.
