Three Choices in Web Hosting

There are basically three types of webhosting services available – shared, VPS, and dedicated. Price wise, shared hosting is the cheapest; dedicated hosting is the most expensive while VPS hosting costs something in between. However, performance wise, dedicated hosting ranks at the top, which is followed by VPS and then shared hosting. Let’s go exploring all the three options.

Shared Hosting

In shared hosting, you get your website on a web server that is already hosting plenty of other websites. The total number of websites hosted on a single server varies from web host to web host. Some of them host only a dozen websites on a single server while there are also companies who in order to make more profit host hundreds of websites on a single server.

VPS Hosting

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. It is not an individual server. It is just an innovative allocation made on a server. As per this technology, several allocations are made on a single server in a way that each allocation behaves as a standalone server. These allocations even perform like dedicated servers. You feel like you are renting an entire web server and you have full control on the server’s resources.

Dedicated Server Hosting

As the term suggests, in this type of webhosting, you literally become the owner of an entire web server. You do not need to make different allocations on it. You get the liberty to host as many websites on this server as you want. You are not charged additionally for the same.
