Introduction
Not all hosting is created equal. The type of hosting you choose determines how resources are allocated, how much control you have, and how your website performs under traffic. The three most common options are Shared, VPS, and Dedicated hosting.
1. Shared Hosting
-
Multiple websites share one server.
-
Cost-effective and beginner-friendly.
-
Best for small websites, blogs, or startups.
-
Limited resources and performance during high traffic.
2. VPS Hosting (Virtual Private Server)
-
One server is divided into virtual sections, each acting like a private server.
-
More power, flexibility, and scalability than shared hosting.
-
Suitable for growing businesses and medium-traffic websites.
-
Costs more than shared, but less than dedicated.
3. Dedicated Hosting
-
Entire physical server dedicated to one client.
-
Maximum performance, control, and security.
-
Ideal for high-traffic websites, e-commerce, or enterprises.
-
Higher cost, requires more technical management.
