Shared hosting is mostly used for small company websites and blogs. It doesn’t require much coding knowledge to use it. How to maintain the server is the entire responsibility of the host.
The most important thing is that this hosting is cheap because everyone pays equally for the same server.
But it also has some disadvantages because many websites use the same server resources. Due to which many times it slows down due to overloading as many programs run at the same time on shared hosting.
2) What is VPS hosting?
The full name of VPS hosting is Virtual Private Server Hosting, this hosting is more reliable and stable than shared hosting.
In this the server is shared with other users. But the web host of this server gives everyone a separate partition. It is called a virtual server. By which you have your own server space, computer power and memory reserve.
3) What is dedicated hosting?
In dedicated hosting, the website owner has complete control over the server. In this, the website owner can set up the entire hosting environment as per his own. Because all its resources (such as operating system, hardware components and memory etc.) are under the control of the website owner.
Because of this it provides high security with fast performance.
Its cost is relatively high, as the website owner pays for its entire operation.
It is mostly used for large online businesses and heavy traffic.
4) What is cloud hosting?
Cloud hosting is very popular hosting. This is the most used hosting nowadays.
This hosting will be similar to VPS hosting. It also uses virtual machines.
In cloud hosting, your host provides a set of servers. In which many files and resources are duplicated.
If a server cloud server is busy or there is a problem with the server, your website traffic will automatically move to another server.
That’s why you have to pay the same amount of resources to it. But you can reduce its memory and resources and this hosting is the most secure compared to other hosting.
