How Secure is Shared Hosting?

Bad Neighbour Effect

A common problem when using shared hosting is the “bad neighbour” effect. This is when one or more of the tenants you share a server with abuse the servers resources.

The long term effects of being hosted on a server with this problem are:

• Slow website response times
• Lower search engine rankings
• Visitors leaving due to slow page load times
• Your website being hacked by a neighbour on your server
• Poor website up time

Raid Host Unique Isolation and Configuration

Every customer on our shared platform is isolated within their own virtual file system. This offers you a highly secure, but very flexible and affordable hosting solution.

We don’t believe in overcrowded servers and tight restrictions. Using our virtual isolation, we set generous resource limits to keep our server stable and stop abusers from slowing down or bringing honest customers offline. Because we never overload our servers, running with lower utilisation means you are allocated higher resource limits and see faster website response times and stability as a result.

Secure Hosting

With every shared hosting customer safety confined to their own secure area, we eliminate the worry of another customers compromised site infecting or even taking your site offline.

We believe that a secure and reliable hosting experience is a must for any serious web presence. Customers should demand only the latest and best technologies from their hosting provider.

Visitors to your site expect the page to load quickly and the content to be clean and safe. “Drive-By” viruses are a growing threat, but with our daily server scan, any suspicious content will be highlighted to one of our system administrators to review. Keeping your site safe.

Run your own PHP and Modules

In addition to the security and stability our shared hosting infrastructure offers every customer, we also allow you to change your PHP configuration on the fly. Our customers are able to switch between PHP 5.2 right up to 5.5. You are able to configure which PHP modules you wish to load and even set your own custom php.ini settings right from within cPanel.

With most other hosting providers this level of isolation and configuration requires a Virtual or Dedicated server, but not with Raid Host. We give you all the flexibility you need at great value, but still maintain quality and uptime.
