Companies requiring IT support but lacking the desire to invest in in-house expertise have been urged to consider the benefits of shared hosting.

PRwire says significant savings can be made by renting server space through an IT outsourcing provider, as opposed to investing in in-house hardware.

The news provider explained that multiple customers use the same server to support their websites, managed by an application hosting provider.

So while the customer will relinquish some level of control over their IT, the cost and time-saving benefits associated with shared hosting make this option an attractive one.

“IT can be considered as a benefit for those who do not want to deal with all the complexities and tensions associated with administration,” the website stated.
