The server specifications required for selling shared hosting can vary depending on several factors such as the number of accounts you plan to host, the anticipated traffic and resource usage of those accounts, and the specific features and services you intend to offer. However, here are some typical server specifications you might consider:
Processor: A multi-core processor (such as Intel Xeon or AMD Ryzen) with sufficient processing power to handle simultaneous requests from multiple accounts.
RAM (Memory): Adequate RAM to ensure smooth operation and performance under load. Typically, anywhere from 8GB to 32GB or more may be needed, depending on the scale of your hosting operation.
Storage: Fast and reliable storage is crucial. Solid State Drives (SSDs) are preferred over traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) for their faster read/write speeds. The amount of storage required depends on the total disk space allocated to all hosted accounts.
Bandwidth: Sufficient bandwidth to accommodate the combined traffic of all hosted websites. This can vary greatly depending on the types of websites hosted and their expected traffic levels.
Control Panel: If you're offering a control panel like cPanel or Plesk to your customers, make sure the server has enough resources to handle the control panel's requirements in addition to the hosted websites.
Security: Robust security measures including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and regular software updates to protect both your server and the websites hosted on it.
Backup System: A reliable backup system to ensure data integrity and facilitate quick recovery in case of data loss or server failure.
Scalability: The ability to easily scale resources (such as CPU, RAM, storage) as your hosting business grows is essential. Consider choosing a hosting provider or server configuration that allows for seamless scalability.
Technical Support: Access to reliable technical support, either through your hosting provider or your own in-house team, to promptly address any server issues or customer inquiries.
Software and Services: Depending on your customers' needs, you may need to install additional software or services such as PHP, MySQL, email servers, and other web hosting-related components.
Remember to regularly monitor server performance and resource usage to ensure that your hosting environment remains stable and responsive for all your customers.

It is impressive how AI can vomit a wall of text without any actual substances. At least it spits out "8GB to 32GB" so we know that the numpad is not broken.

Take it easy, grandpa. I just wanted to know what type of server people are using to sell shared hosting. not planning to sell anything

Nobody remotely sane is selling shared hosting out of a VPS. Just grab a cheap dedi if you're eager to start out low end DIY, or a decent reseller if you just want to get going.

There's several large and small companies doing shared hosting off of VPS, not sure what you're talking about.

I stand corrected, but I still say it's a crazy way to go.

What server specifications are typically required for selling shared hosting? This includes RAM, CPUs, storage, networking, and bandwidth.
Hey it really depends on what you need, Lets say you want to sell 3 plans
Starter - 10GB
Medium - 30GB
Large - 50GB
In that case you could start with at least 150-200GB Disk/Storage to begin with.
Thats the only advice I can give so far, rest of it you have to think. on how much ram you'd need, okay well ram wise just to be safe you could like idk start with 8 or 12. Bandwidth maybe 2-3TB? for CPU vcores I think 6vcores or 8vcores is fine to begin with.

That really depends on what you’ve hosting
Where is our AI to answer this general question with a generalized answer? AI talk to AI..
Why would you use a VPS to sell shared hosting?
You'll find that each web server costs at least $60 a month in licensing costs if you match most offers.
You may want to look into dedicated servers.

Wait, I'm running a shared host off a NAT. 10 accounts, everyone gets 2 ports. Booyaa! (Satire, of course)
YetiNode is running on VirmAche and NexusBytes.
HostBrr aff best VPS; VirmAche aff worst VPS.

VPS specs for shared hosting here's a general idea of the resources needed:
CPU Cores
RAM
Storage
Bandwidth
Operating System
You resurrected something from March to add this "gold nugget" of information?

Has this thread become the dumping ground for people trying to get their post count up?
Might be time to close it out.
8 trillion gigabytes of ram
CPU: 2 dedicated cores
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 16GB NVMe and 1TB HDD
Bandwidth: unmetered 100Mbps
You can then sell 100x plans advertised as "unlimited pure NVMe".
HostBrr aff best VPS; VirmAche aff worst VPS.
