Types of Hosting

In shared web hosting, one single server hosts more than 1 websites. Different websites are sharing the same server and resources. Although it may not be a very secure web hosting model, but it is cheaper as compared to dedicated servers. It is usually best for small or newly started websites. However, when your site's traffic grows and it is ready to scale up regularly it is best to move from shared hosting to dedicated servers in order to get the maximum efficiency.

In dedicated hosting, there is a single server for your site. Your server and hardware resources are yours only and you would not have to worry about issues like security with other employees and you do not need to worry about security of your site as well as scalibility.

A Virtual Private Server or VPS is a very flexible form of hosting. It can be considered as a middle ground between a dedicated and private server. As it is not a completely private server, it is not that costly. In this case, a virtual server is provided to the domain. In reality there are websites hosted on that server but it is configured in a way that it acts like a dedicated server.

Cloud hosting offers flexibility, scalability and cost-effective options making it popular. All the websites hosted to share the same cloud space however because of the vastness of cloud, each seems like hosted individually. Cloudways provides cloud hosting on providers like Digitalocean, Linode and Vultr. There is also Amazon AWS Cloud hosting as well as Google cloud hosting included.

This is the most expensive form of web hosting. Here a location is rented out from the colocation services to get the maximum benefit. It offers the most amount of control over the server and working. The center will provide the power, bandwidth, IP address, and cooling systems that your server requires.
