Hi,
For those (like us) that use a shared hosting solution, is there a level of (size of DB) before we should consider a virtual or a dedicated server?
Is the clashost any different to any other ‘shared hosting’ why should we use this?
Thanks.
Hello,
That really depends on the company…some share hosting works amazing. I really recommend to you https://secure1.inmotionhosting.com/cgi-bin/gby/clickthru.cgi?id=chema&page=7
Easily 2000 views per day.
Clashosts works for testing that is all is really limited on everything and doesn’t work in production.
Thanks.
If I experience reliability issues with my own shared hosting with an ISP in the UK, can it be moved easily enough to the Inmotion solution you recommend?
Perhaps I should have just done this from the start!
yep you can just move the DB specially if still small it’s pretty simple. If you buy it we can help you on the support on a step by step migration. ;)
