Probably would be much more expensive because Web server are intended for a
different purposes. Different architecture, different levels of support and
different back-up mechanisms.
What about the issue of security (shared hosting exposed to DoS attacks)? As
for dedicated hosting, would a dual-core motherboard and 2 GB of RAM really
necessary?
PowWeb < http://powweb.com/ > offer 6 GB of storage on a shared server. 6 GB
is the most I have come across for a low-cost account.
