Well, to be quite honest, no, there is no such thing as an indoor bonsai tree. This is a hotly debated topic in the bonsai community. A bonsai tree is simply a miniature version of a tree. Trees live outdoors, hence, indoor bonsai trees are not naturally occurring.

However, it is possible to keep a bonsai tree indoors under strict conditions. The best type of tree suited to this pursuit is the tropical or subtropical tree. Tropicals can cope better with the decreased light and humidity of the indoors and they require little or no dormancy period.

The thing with indoor bonsais is that they still require the things that occur naturally in the outdoor environment. That is to say they need adequate light, air circulation, water and humidity to breathe and grow. When you keep a bonsai indoors, you need to go to great lengths to ensure that these needs are met.

Placing your bonsai tree on a window sill will not supply it with the amount of light it needs for the amount of time it needs it. You would be surprised to know just how much the glass of a window blocks the light. And, usually, the window is only subjected to a decent amount of sunlight for short periods of the day, depending on the direction that it faces.

That being said, you will need to keep moving your bonsai tree around to follow the light or you will need to set up an artificial source of light using fluorescent lighting.

You will need to find an area in your home that has good quality air circulation. Many homes are air conditioned, cold in summer, warm in winter. Too cold and the tree will not survive as it needs warmth. Too hot and the tree will dry out and even be scorched near air vents.

Humidity is often a big factor that is not taken into consideration when keeping an indoor bonsai. Trees, particularly tropical trees need humidity to survive. If there is not enough humidity the tree will dry out and perish.

Therefore humidity needs to be created artificially too. This can be done by placing your bonsai tree on a humidity tray to allow the evaporation from the tray of water to create a more humid environment for the indoor bonsai tree.

Of course, watering the tree is still of utmost importance as for the outdoors. But, again, a strict regime will be needed. Not enough water and humidity and the tree becomes prone to dehydration. Not enough air circulation and the tree is not able to breathe properly.

These are just some of the important considerations that need to be addressed if you wish to keep your tree as an indoor bonsai. This is just with tropical trees! The issue of dormancy if you attempt to keep a temperate tree indoors is a whole other article on its own.

So, is there such a thing as indoor bonsai? No. Can you administer indoor bonsai care? Yes. But I recommend that you become adept at caring for a bonsai tree outdoors, where they flourish best, before attempting the more intense experience of indoor bonsai care.

Many companies are operating on a shared hosting service. A shared web hosting service is web hosting that shares the web server with many other websites. Each site basically has its own partition that keeps it separate from all of the other sites. This method tends to be a rather economical method of maintaining a website because the cost of the server maintenance is shared by a number of other people.

A dedicated hosting service, on the other hand is hosting in which the website owner leases the entire web server and it is not shared by anyone else. This gives the company complete control over the server and allows the company to make all decisions regarding what operating system to use, what hardware to use, etc.

Indicators that your company may need a dedicated hosting service

The company is in need of more traffic. By having a dedicated hosting service, bandwidth is increased significantly.

The company needs a better return on investment. In many instances, the shared hosting service can actually reduce the return on investment because of the amount of traffic not being generated. If the site does receive a high number of visitors, bandwidth may be exceeded and potential sales are lost. A dedicated hosting service can actually increase the return on investment.

The company is changing to an operating system or hardware that is not supported by the shared hosting service. Through a dedicated hosting service, operating systems and hardware can be chosen.

The company is in need of more services provided by the host. Shared hosting tends to offer less services than a dedicated server such as backup

Being parked next to a website that shares the same server and has a bad reputation hinders online business. This can actually give browsers a bad impression of the company's site although the company has nothing to do with the neighboring site's doings.

The company needs more disk size than what the shared hosting service offers. With a dedicated hosting service, the company can choose things such as disk space and bandwidth as well as many services that can be added on.

The company needs a managed server. Many shared hosting services have un-managed servers, which can lead to technical difficulties. Many times, businesses cannot afford down time of any kind, so a dedicated hosting service will decrease the down time.

The company needs reliable customer service. Sometimes shared hosting services do not have dedicated customer service. There may be one person answering the phone or a few people who do not know much about the service. Dedicated hosting services have customer service representatives ready to take on all issues and inquiries.

The company needs multiple domains. Many companies decide that they are in need of multiple domains. Where shared hosting may result in the company sharing domains with others or only allowing them one domain, a dedicated hosting service will allow the company to have multiple domains on the same account.

The company needs databases. MYSQL databases are very important to many businesses and shared hosting does not usually offer databases. If they do, they may only offer one. A dedicated hosting service may offer several.

So these are indicators that a company may need to move from shared hosting to a dedicated hosting service. It will bring more business and more respect from visitors by having a legitimate domain name with all of the bells and whistles a website should have.
