Shared hosting refers to a web hosting environment where many websites reside on one server connected to the Internet. Each site "sits" on its own partition, or section of the server to keep it separate from other sites.

In other words its a way for you to host your own site on the web with out the extensive cost of owning or renting your own server. Sleeper Hosting strives to keep all its shared hosting servers up to date with the newest software and security to provide you with one of the most secure and smooth running servers on the web.

It's a type of web hosting in which a person purchases a plan from the hosting company and then they can resell their plans to other customers.

In other words say you want to start hosting but don't really want to spend all sorts of money upfront and then wait for clients. Sign up for a reseller and you have a sort of "mini server" for you to use and sell your own hosting packages. We also recommend this option to clients with three or more personal sites to help them save their money so their not paying three or more payments.

SHOUTcast is a multiplatform freeware digital audio streaming technology developed by Nullsoft. It allows audio content, primarily in MP3 or HE-AAC format, to be broadcast to and from media player software, enabling hobbyists and professionals to create Internet radio/Web radio networks.

So you can actually broadcast with SHOUTcast from anywhere, but to do it in a matter where listeners can enjoy the stream you will need a solid server with the bandwidth availability to handle the listeners. So you aren't paying for the SHOUTcast like many people thing your actually paying for the bandwidth used by the SHOUTcast software and for the use of a real server/data center to stream with.

Don't be fooled by the people promising hundreds of listeners for a few dollars a month. Many make promises they cant backup if you ever actually had the amount of listeners they claim to give you. Simply put if you actually peak at the listener count they give you they would drop you cause their server cant handle the load. Not sure how to tell if they are amateurs or REAL SHOUTcast hosts? Simply ask the company how many mbps they can stream on their server. If they say 100mbps then they are 99% of the time simply using a shared bandwidth line and will not be able to handle anything but small stations.

Sleeper Hosting Shoutcast server is set up with its own dedicated line and we do not promise more then we can deliver and work with new and established "Net Stations" to make sure they have what they need to broadcast to their listeners smoothly and professionally.

Please note that by purchasing SHOUTcast Hosting you are not provided with the softwear to broadcast with, such as SAM or Winamp plug-in. Nor are you provided with a License from Sleeper Hosting to broadcast legally. You will need to contact a company such as LoudCity to obtain a license on your own.

An advanced form of web hosting where the customer generally has complete control over the server. Dedicated Servers are typically housed in data centers. Dedicated servers may be compared to shared web hosting servers; where in shared hosting you find the web hosting company administering and control the server, a dedicated server is typically controlled by the server's owner and he or she controls which websites are hosted on the server.

In other words we provide you with your own server to use the way you need it. Whether you have a large traffic website or if you want to be able to sell your own hosting and control your own server Sleeper Hosting is here to help you with all your needs.

The arrangement and creation of web pages that in turn make up a web site. There are many aspects to this process, and due to the rapid development of the Internet, new aspects are continually being added.

In other words its what you see when you go to a web site but more importantly its what you don't see. Design is based on three key aspects of a website.
#1. The sites "visibility" on the web from search engines. Its nice if your site looks good but if no one can find it what's the point?
#2. The usability. Again if it looks nice but your visitors cant navigate around easily and be able to load the pages quickly they wont stay long.
#3. A professional appearance to please the eyes of your visitors.

At Sleeper Hosting we spend the time to make sure your site not only looks great but is easily usable for your visitors/clients.
