Overview of Hosting Environments• Shared• Dedicated

Shared Hosting Platforms• Domino• Oracle Application Server/ Java• Apache Tomcat• ColdFusion• Oracle Database

Agenda

Overview

Shared Hosting• Servers running multiple applications in the same

application instance or on the same server• Server settings are the same for all applications• All applications must run at the same software version• Cheaper than dedicated hosting

Dedicated Hosting• A single server running a single application and/or multiple

applications for the same customer• Greater flexibility of server settings• Ability to run a higher or lower version of software than

what is available in the shared environment• More expensive than shared hosting
