Set Up Web Hosting
" M( [4 A9 V' h$ `1 s T& HGetting an internet hosting account is beyond the scope of this guide, but a few things need to be said7 b8 a+ q* S& i6 k0 |4 ^" A! |3 A. r+ U
about internet hosting. In general, you get what you pay for with hosting. When you use a shared
6 Z: l+ v# A3 `" I* _# t2 Thost for PPV traffic, you are putting yourself at huge risk because your bandwidth is shared with
f( \! ~* h$ g, ~3 g6 [+ ] ~whoever else is on the same server as you.5 {% O7 C/ M' x! d
Speed is the name of the game in PPV traffic. Your offers and landing pages need to pop up fast
5 u; M6 R1 l4 ~. w" o) G$ \1 zenough that the visitor can't close the window before your pop up is even shown. You have about 3
. m( M6 b: u& t* Aseconds before the user can get that window shut. If your offer doesn't show in that time, tough luck.3 C* z) I& |+ P3 Q0 K
To explain the difference between types of hosting packages, picture a refrigerator (the server) in a7 D: q: `7 s# p& }0 e6 q
house full of roommates (hosting customers).
5 _( F. S% I% ?9 Y. Q8 lIn shared hosting, this is like having roommates where everyone has no specific designated area inside
9 M4 @" K& D2 D' Y# Qthe fridge where they are supposed to put their food. Everyone just jams their food in however it will
& x _4 e0 w; O+ n/ ^5 qfit.- L; S' i+ [# C) ^; F& n5 h2 f
Say your roommate brings home a large turkey. They will then take up more of the refrigerator than$ G' S t8 V3 Q0 z# I+ h
the rest of the roommates, by virtue of simply needing more space and resources to accommodate7 a$ W' A$ s% q8 [4 V6 P
their food. Everyone else's food in the house has less space to take advantage of.
4 P( [2 i7 D: yIf you have less server resources to take advantage of, your ability to serve popups will slow down. For
2 }7 ^) B7 I5 ]2 e1 N$ ]) Tany type of hosting this is a bad thing, and especially while running PPV traffic.. J/ t, |( d4 E( u; A
In the case of a virtual private server (VPS), everyone in the house has their own designated space9 z M5 R5 G, H8 O* d$ e
inside the fridge to put their food, and other roommates can't come into that space. The server is- Y2 K7 B0 Y1 |$ P3 z9 U4 S" B* z
partitioned, so that each customer can only use a specific amount of resources at any given time./ @5 u+ }* D; [- f! q, [/ H* [9 V
A dedicated server would be like having the whole fridge to yourself. All of the server's resources' v2 s( e' x2 r% } c9 T# q
belong to you and no one else can use up those resources. This makes it possible to serve much more
; }. g. |0 W# x; ]8 h, ktraffic, faster. t: r8 @! r; W6 H
At the very minimum, you need a VPS to run PPV traffic, and at higher volumes, a dedicated server.
