yamakuza: yes

yamakuza: shared host means that eg 100 people/sites can use a server with 10gb hard disk at 100mb space/site etc.

the RAM on that server will also be divided by the number of sites on it, as well as the bandwidth.

while this can be cheap, economical or cost effective, the downside is that 1 site can bring down all the other 99 sites.

eg, if 1 site is hacked, the hacker can gain access to the other sites; or if 1 site has a process that uses too much memory, it can slow down all 100 sites.

to avoid this, mission critical sites are advised to get non-shared/dedicated hosting, which is more expensive (eg x100)



as per your initial question on foreign vs local hosts, i guess its safe to assume that all hosts are foreign, cos most (if not all) of the local webhosts have their servers abroad.

what differs is the line of support/customer service you get.

while foreign companies are more customer friendly, it might be easier to reach a local company in times of trouble.

when you do reach both companies however, their ability to resolve issues have little to do with their location, but with their skill/experience.

we have linux/windows gurus in Nigeria that can resolve your server issues within minutes, while some foreign companies will still be exchanging mails with you for 5 days or more. the reverse also happens.

ideally, before signing up with a webhosting company, whether foreign or local, take time to google up reviews and testimonials on the company.

the results of that research will save you a lot of headache in future.

all the best !

utimatedes: Shared host is a hosting plan where everybody shared the same resources and is very cheap because everyone shared the same resources. But it has its disadvantages which outweigh the advantages.

utimatedes: The so-called foreign hosts are even worst than Nigerian hosts. My experience with Jaguarpc has being a nightmare. Even Namecheap is not reliable except you have shared host.

icefire1982: Yes, I already built it. And you can visit it now by computer or mobilephone.
As you know, what's the most import thing for a website is not built it, it's to manage it. So I need a team to manage it.

ojochidem: I will advise, you go for a FOREIGN Host bro. I have tried Nigerian Hosts and i have been disappointed. Get closer to the source.

fellis: You should be the one to shut up, because you very obviously know nothing about the things Oshiomole has done in Edo state.
People like you just type critisms about any politician, whether or not you know anything about them.
You just criticize.
Next time, before you open your ignorant trap to say that Oshiomole has not created any good motorable roads in Edo state, ask anyone who actually lives in Edo state how well he is doing with regards to creating motorable roads.
