If you’re looking for a user-friendly and highly cost-effective variant of web hosting that can lay a strong foundation for your business online, you can go for Linux Shared Hosting.

Shared Hosting is a widely popular option for any business or personal website that is just getting started online, is smaller in size, does not attract a large amount of traffic, or requires cost-effective hosting solutions. It allows multiple websites to share one physical web server and its resources, thus, reducing the hosting cost for all of them.

The geographic location of the server is the only difference. The server location determines the website latency (i.e. the load time of your website for your clients). If your visitors are in the Indian subcontinent or the Asia-Pacific region, it would be ideal to choose the India server location. If your visitors are in the United States or nearby countries, it would be ideal to opt for U.S. server location instead.
