There are different types of hosting services or, more simply, types of hosting. They vary in size, hardware, settings for different webmastering tasks. Hosting types can be divided into the following categories:
- Shared Hosting
The most inexpensive type of hosting, it makes the most economical use of server hardware. Shared hosting is when different sites are hosted on the same server, and a certain amount of disk space and its other resources is allocated for each. The most suitable type of hosting for hobbyists and bloggers.
- VPS (virtual private server) hosting
A virtual private server is akin to shared hosting, only more powerful. VPS servers usually use more powerful hardware and provide more customization, and although many sites are hosted on the same physical server, each uses software virtualization, which allows them to run independently of each other, giving the impression that they are hosted on different dedicated mini -servers.
- Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated hosting is an excellent choice for professionals and, as the name implies, the server is supposed to be used as a dedicated one for one site. Simply put, the main difference here from shared hosting and VPS is that its owner does not share the disk and resources with anyone, since this is a physical part of the "hardware" only for him.
- Cloud Hosting
Cloud hosting allows webmasters to access a large bank of servers that are all interconnected and designed to replace one another if needed. In other words, if you need more resources, cloud hosting will provide them for you. Cloud hosting is usually the best solution if you want to achieve 100% uptime and don't worry about how much you have to pay for it.
