Web Hosting
Web hosting is needed to put your website online.
There are two main types of web hosting: shared hosting and dedicated hosting.
Shared Hosting
Shared hosting involves sharing space on a web server with other websites. It is considered more economical than dedicated hosting as the cost of server maintenance is shared
Dedicated Hosting
This hosting involves leasing an entire server which is not shared with any other client. It offers a greater degree of flexibility and gives you more control over your choice of operating system and server hardware. Normally you will find that dedicated hosting offers a greater return on investment than shared hosting. For full details of our dedicated hosting service, please

Hosting Packages
Because not all websites are the same, and because visitor traffic varies, a range of different web hosting packages are on offer from Creative Mind to suit a variety of needs. The hosting package you select depends on a number of factors, including:
Amount Of Web Space Required
The size of your website: how many pages, images and videos it has; determines how much web space you need. This is usually anything from 100MB to 10GB.
Bandwidth
Whenever a visitor hits your website, data will be transferred. For this transfer to take place, you need bandwidth, and the amount of bandwidth required depends on how much visitor traffic your website receives. For your convenience and so that you never have to worry about changes in visitor traffic, Creative Mind offers unlimited bandwidth in all of its web hosting packages.
Databases
If your website is driven by a database – for example, if it has a login area or an online shop – then this will affect the hosting package you need. Different packages allow different numbers of databases, from one to unlimited.
