There are many web hosting options available nowadays: shared hosting, dedicated server hosting, cloud hosting, ... and the list goes on. All these options serve the same purpose, which is hosting your content so that it can be accessed and viewed by people on the Internet. The major difference is how each is structured as well as the benefits they offer.
Let's have a closer look at each of them.
SHARED HOSTING
As the name implies, shared hosting is an environment where you are sharing space on a web server with other users. As clients are sharing the cost of the server, this is the most affordable and popular solution for personal users and small businesses as companies to set up blog, e-commerce and other advanced applications. However, when hosting on a shared server, you are exposed to all the activities of your neighbors. It is never possible to browse content of other users on your server, but if someone makes a huge scripting error, the entire server can suffer because of the shared resources. If someone experiences a sudden burst in traffic, your site might run slower. If the server goes down, so does your website and ultimately, your business. At DVHosting we prevent things like this to happen and monitor everything that happens with out servers. But be aware that it will be possible to have a slower website or application sometimes.
CLOUD, VPS or DEDICATED HOSTING
When your business takes off and requires more than the typical sharing server resources, it's time to move up to a dedicated server or Cloud/VPS hosting. Now you're in the big leagues with an entire server or resources of that server dedicated to your hosting needs. However, without any experience, succeeding with this hosting option is nearly impossible - those who require a dedicated server or cloud solution but don't know a thing about server administration can get by with managed hosting. In this scenario, the hosting service provider handles all the management tasks which frees you up to focus on other areas of the business. Keep in mind that a managed service contract in addition to your dedicated server, vps or cloud solution generally is more costly but a lot more efficient and safe. At DVHosting we can provide you with these solutions unmanaged or managed. Feel free to have a chat with us to look at the possibilities.
SO, WHAT IS THE BEST HOSTING FOR YOU?
The best advice we can give about hosting is to know what you're getting into. Free or shared services are geared for personal sites or for small businesses and a dedicated server is designed for larger hosting needs, yet is far more expensive. By knowing what your site or application requires, it will be much easier to determine which is the best solution.
