about internet hosting. In general, you get what you pay for with hosting. When you use a shared: ^8 p4 k4 K+ X& o
host for PPV traffic, you are putting yourself at huge risk because your bandwidth is shared with
1 ^; c% g. d/ o! A5 m9 W W% iwhoever else is on the same server as you.
; _: A: J+ p( p: t8 }4 { aSpeed is the name of the game in PPV traffic. Your offers and landing pages need to pop up fast5 Z; o6 C5 ~5 Z b1 u; i" E7 y. k
enough that the visitor can't close the window before your pop up is even shown. You have about 3
/ U6 U( @! ?4 |+ Pseconds before the user can get that window shut. If your offer doesn't show in that time, tough luck.
5 _1 Q3 e9 w% j4 W! zTo explain the difference between types of hosting packages, picture a refrigerator (the server) in a
