NAME BASED VIRTUAL SHARED HOSTING

There are a number of disadvantages that come along with the lower price. while it might be workable if you have a simple personal website, but if you are running a business on the web, you should  not use shared name based hosting. The shared system resources can be easily compromised. This occurs when your IP address is black-listed; the system isn’t secure; or there aren’t enough resources to service all the websites on the server.

Black-listed IPs: If your server host doesn’t have a good ethical hosting policy, your server IP address may be frequently black-listed. This is most notable in 2 cases, firstly, if spammers are allowed on your server, many mail servers will black-list you, disallowing you to send out e-mail.

Secondly, if there is adult content on the server where your web is hosted, some parental-control software might black-list your IP address since you technically are coming from the same place as the adult content site sharing space with you.

Insecure services: Depending on how proactive your host upgrades their software and operating systems, there may be large security holes. Compromised security will allow hackers to get on to the system and possibly steal or corrupt.

Insufficient amount of system resources: Since you are on the same computer system, poor monitoring of the server health will result in your websites being less efficient. For example, if one of the users take up the majority of hard-drive space, the system will cease to run. Similarly, if one of the websites on the server is running a program that takes up much of the computer processing power, then your website will be very slow.

Your website may also be slow if there is limited bandwidth coming in. Depending on how big of a "pipe" your provider has that is connected to the Internet, bandwidth spikes may be a problem.

These are the 3 main reasons why you may want to move from a shared name-based hosting environment.

While some sites at Khimaira may be housed on the same server, Khimaira provides full IP based hosting, which means you will not share your IP address with another site.  It is uniquely yours.  this way, you can avoid the problems associated with the name based shared servers outlined above.
