Need some advice

[Ray]

Would shared hosting work for a site that gets less than 200 visitors at any given time?

It's a new site and out of those <200, some would register, but none would be able to post anything. We have content that we post ourselves and people just read and leave, sort of like a news site. Comments are done via facebook comments plug-in.

So, is shared hosting good in this situation? If so, what hosting companies do you suggest?

Thanks

I think it should be okay; provided you don't have anything else running on the server. I support LiquidWeb. They are super! Absolutely great support!

If you go with them, let me know.

It kind of depends on what those 200 connections are doing. If they generally sit idle during the time they are connected and only make a request once in a while (like a forum) then it could work fine. If there is a lot of activity then it might be a bit more iffy.
