Shared Hosting

 In using shared hosting, your site is located on the same server


as various other websites.
 It is best for beginners because it saves cost.
 The shared resources are limited when using shared hosting.
 you could potentially run into problems if the servers are
having issues due to an increased amount of traffic or a faulty code.

VPS hosting

 In VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting, every website is


stored on a very powerful server that is divided into
several virtual compartments.
 The server software is configured separately so that
each unit can function independently.
 It should be your preferred option if you have high-
security concerns but don’t want to invest in a faster
(but more expensive) dedicated server.
VPS hosting is typically more expensive than shared
hosting.

Dedicated hosting

 A dedicated host is a server you have all to yourself.


 Dedicated hosting is the ideal solution for larger businesses
and high-traffic websites because it allows for maximum
customization, configuration, installation, and flexibility.
 One of the advantages of going this route is that no other
website can hog or compete with you on all of the
resources or pose any sort of security threat.
 Dedicated hosting offers you an entire server for yourself,
thereby making it faster, more secure, and more expensive.

Cloud hosting
 Similar to VPS hosting, cloud hosting allows multiple virtual
servers (clouds) to work together to host a website or a group
of websites.
 It offers unlimited ability to handle sudden traffic spikes.
 A cloud-hosted website is not limited to a single server, and the
resources allocated to it can shrink or expand dynamically,
depending on how much traffic you get.
 It’s a great option for large websites, including e-commerce
websites, newsletters and blogs.
 One advantage of choosing cloud hosting is the possibility for
higher scalability.
