Unless overtly listed otherwise, most web hosting packages you'll come across in your search are what are called shared hosting providers. What this means is that the server or servers that host your website are simultaneously hosting numerous other websites also. This gives you a discounted rate on web hosting services in exchange for tolerating certain technical constraints, like bandwidth, disk space, upload and download speeds, security and privacy, traffic, and probably the most notable restriction -- total control. If you want total control not only over the administration of your website but also over the very hardware and software used to run it, then you should be evaluating not shared hosting providers, but dedicated hosting providers.

But if you've tried several shared hosting providers with the same results, then it may be time to remind yourself how impatient the average web surfer is. While you're jumping from shared host to shared host trying to save a buck, your customers are jumping ship. Your ability to respond promptly and effectively to customer transactions and inquiries cannot be overemphasized either.The limits to your control are nowhere more apparent than in the areas of reliability and security. It's not simply that problems can arise: problems do arise.
