Set Up Web Hosting
* r3 S# p/ J+ tGetting an internet hosting account is beyond the scope of this guide, but a few things need to be said; b8 X6 i# c9 ]5 O
about internet hosting. In general, you get what you pay for with hosting. When you use a shared1 P" _! \( c4 v& r/ M' J
host for PPV traffic, you are putting yourself at huge risk because your bandwidth is shared with
0 G7 {( g3 N) l1 ~) S$ c6 F1 Qwhoever else is on the same server as you.1 F4 a; \ f! _' t+ `6 K( n
Speed is the name of the game in PPV traffic. Your offers and landing pages need to pop up fast
% T% f& z0 [" j; k K1 ?, ^5 tenough that the visitor can't close the window before your pop up is even shown. You have about 3' _% \+ J8 [" c+ s* N8 i
seconds before the user can get that window shut. If your offer doesn't show in that time, tough luck.9 L( `( d5 Y( D( V
To explain the difference between types of hosting packages, picture a refrigerator (the server) in a
1 b: i; `+ A6 ?6 n4 T& } ghouse full of roommates (hosting customers).9 e6 \% Y( I1 S, K
In shared hosting, this is like having roommates where everyone has no specific designated area inside1 @( N/ E' C7 ]- \
the fridge where they are supposed to put their food. Everyone just jams their food in however it will1 o T1 l% c/ h0 ]! e. k" x1 t) i, H, V& G
fit.
8 V/ E; @' ~; z% PSay your roommate brings home a large turkey. They will then take up more of the refrigerator than
# Q$ l3 Q+ B) K! i; `the rest of the roommates, by virtue of simply needing more space and resources to accommodate& B6 n$ }/ }$ n6 f& G) c
their food. Everyone else's food in the house has less space to take advantage of.* o9 S0 L) a+ C# y9 Y3 `) b/ S
If you have less server resources to take advantage of, your ability to serve popups will slow down. For5 ^1 i% ]: k3 k8 y) {9 e
any type of hosting this is a bad thing, and especially while running PPV traffic.- b* s2 m9 {) e! J/ z+ S$ q& v0 I, \
In the case of a virtual private server (VPS), everyone in the house has their own designated space) g: f) |/ u K$ @- I* V. K
inside the fridge to put their food, and other roommates can't come into that space. The server is
Q6 ~' r' ^* Y! upartitioned, so that each customer can only use a specific amount of resources at any given time.
. `" y7 ]2 p/ }' ?A dedicated server would be like having the whole fridge to yourself. All of the server's resources

traffic, faster." o3 _; Y6 `# X# d, c8 e5 A
