There are many survey providers who rely on traditional hosting platform who mislead their efforts to cut pollution, and save our planet, and some companies (not individuals) has questions, regarding hosting their website on GreenGeeks? Although; some survey providers who work for these websites who run surveys for people like me to take surveys and make money. Well some of these sketchy websites claim surveys can pay you, but they don’t because, they’re typically scams. Scammers often cause a headache for many of these customers like me! Well, legitimate survey websites can migrate to GreenGeeks when standards are met,–according to their TOS page.
Should I use a shared, reseller, VPS, or dedicated server hosting?
Shared
Shared hosting is a hosting platform what you should start off with,–even if you have a small amount of users who use your website each day. For this instance, you are running your server on a premium plan. That requires you to have special requirements for bandwith; storage, RAM, and other features. Typically, shared servers have a cluster of customer’s websites residing inside it, just like an apartment building, or complex. If a website tends to expand overtime; you usually change apartments with a help of your landlord/landlady/manager. Full floor apartments are the known apartment formats in New York City, Chicago, Salina, Boston, etc. If a website expands beyond a capacity of an apartment; a website needs to rent additional units to support expansion. That’s when storage prices go up overtime. However; if your website is profitable; and you pay your expenses when running your website; you may experience how businesses do their thing.
Advantages
This strategy is intended for users who were relying on rewardable websites that enable you to take surveys via offerwalls. Ideal for sites with only under 100 users,–depending on how popular your site is. Like starting a business from a garage of your home. Shared servers always have small websites owned by people who run personal blogs, and businesses who sell products and services,–and governments depend on them to provide the public content that may be useful for people who rely on our government-based services. Also online investment firms who are starting up rely on them when they have few users.
Each server has its own set of users who run websites. GreenGeeks rely on SSDs over HDDs to feature blazing speeds for each consumer who rely on their servers. They also connect to wind energy and support our planet… but I’m focusing on advantages of shared servers. If you ever loaded an html file on your browser,–after uploading it, you can see how fast your website can run. If you were using WordPress, your server fetches your SQL database, and loads your page. The speed isn’t depending on size of your webpages, the server’s ram determines speed, including CPUs, hardware, etc.
If you were just visiting a survey provider’s website who enable you to take surveys and make money; they rely on servers to host content for you to consume. Some of these providers receive new surveys each day via their own storage within their servers inside their own shop, or via online servers, other providers rely on cloud instead to ease up resources.
Most of these sites within shared servers are tiny by size. If bandwith demand goes up; a hosting service has to prompt a user to reduce resorce usage of their servers, or upgrade to a stronger plan. However; a legitimate hosting provider should NEVER suspend a user when a company makes money with their website. Instead; they have to implement bandwith plans to combat bandwich costs. Also, if a survey provider keeps making money; and a company pays you via digital currency, a company relies on efforts to keep themselves from facing debt,–caused by users. If a user didn’t receive a payment like they’ve promised to do so, a company can face a serious challenge. Survey companies who owe users money is the known issue for many of these survey providers.
However; shared servers are susceptible to security breeches; hacking and cracking, DDOS attacks, crashes, overheating at server floors, and even failed hardware. If a server only relies on 1 SSD; it will speed up wear and tear. If a disk fails; a company uses efforts to protect your privacy and your data. Disk shredders are used to help combat data theft, credit card fraud, copyfraud, identity theft, cyberbullies, stalkers, hacking, and other factors, banks often rely on a strategy to protect your finances. However; if scammers has been brought to light; a special SSD is loaded with a scammer’s website, enabling law enforcement to grab data as evidence,–if issued by an order of a court. However; I’ll be mentioning about scammers who misused hosting platforms to scam users.
If you were lucky to have an entire drive for your website when you are paying or your services, you can house surveys for users around the world. It takes effort for you to establish a goal like this.
If you stick with a shared server, and you continue to have users using your website; your storage that used to be smaller is now larger enables you to run your website like normal.
Disavantages
If you take up storage, you may need to migrate to a new hosting plan.
Slow speeds overtime.
Your site may slow down overtime.
Your bandwith is shared by each user.
Reseller Hosting
This plan is intended for resellers of any kind,–ranging from individuals to large entities. If a survey company relies on this strategy; other survey companies may use their services to run their own services to take surveys. Although; this format of diversifying with other companies.
VPS Hosting
This is a stronger version of hosting your website for providing surveys for your users. VPS hosting is always recommended for small businesses, and large companies. Most survey websites start off with these virtual servers. Well, you get a space inside these servers to help you build up your website like a pro hosting a site. Well these servers are also inside servers. If you take up storage, you migrate to a larger server inside.
Dedicated Server
This is huge business; you can house surveys inside, or use an offerwall. It can handle mass users, and they can also rely on dedicated resorces as a way to run your web.
If you chose a larger server; you can withstand multiple users.
Conclusion
Survey websites do expand; when choosing GreenGeeks, always choose your hosting plan wisely!
