The Right Web Hosting For You.
IXWebHosting or Slicehost?

The right hosting solution of course depends on your needs.  There are basically 3 hosting option.

1. Shared hosting - IXWebhosting
2. Virtual Dedicated hosting - Slicehost
3. Dedicated server.

With the advent of virtual dedicated servers we think for a majority of business virtual servers are more economical and more robust solution than a dedicated server.

At Jazzy Marketing we have tested quite a few web hosting providers and recommend the following.

For shared hosting: IXWebHosting.com
for virtual dedicated: Slicehost.com

So, the question we are answering here is not which is the right shared hosting company or which one is the right dedicated hosting company.  The question is which hosting is right for you? That is the first and foremost criteria - the type of hosting you need.

So, how do you decide if you need
Shared Hosting or Dedicated Server?

Well, it depends on your web presence strategy.  If your web marketing strategy entails sending hundreds of emails and you plan on doing that on your own rather then from the many email marketing services then a dedicated server, like one from Slicehost, is probably what you need, as most shared hosting providers will block your account on suspicion of spam if you send  thousands of emails.

Also, another added advantage of having your own dedicated server is the ability to mange you own mail server.  This will allow you to benefit from features like  Domain Name Verification of emails,  which is the latest technology to fight spam.

On the other hand, shared hosting, such as one provided by IXWebHosting, is ideal to get started quickly and easily with very little learning curve as the hosting provider manages the server for everything.

Take a look at our review and how to of the above mentioned hosting providers to get you started with step by step instructions.
