VPS Hosting Compared With Shared Webhosting
With a large number of hosting options available, those looking to launch their first website will be wondering what to take up. For those who are not too technical, this could pose a big challenge. Managed dedicated server hosting, virtual hosting, shared hosting are some of the options that will be open to you. Unless you are intending to launch a huge website and expect traffic to be equally impressive, then getting a managed dedicated server is simply overkill. If that is not the case then you will be wasting resources by picking that option. Hosting your own website will require a lot of technical capabilities and will be quite expensive to set up. Your real choice is between virtual and shared hosting.
Shared hosting involves the sharing of a server and its resources among several hosted clients. This is the most cost effective business website hosting you can get. It is best suited for those looking to host a very basic website that does not require much in terms of resources. Getting a host who can give a guarantee on your website storage space, speed, security and back up is very important. Issues with other websites on the same server can easily affect your website because of the shared server resources. Fair resource distribution and monitoring to minimize risk are some of the operations that a good host service provider will offer.
Virtual hosting is the closest alternative to managed dedicated server hosting. Capacity will be the big difference here considering that dedicated servers will offer more and consequently cost more. If you are looking for business web hosting that gives more than the very basic services, this is the best option. Hardware is shared in virtual hosting though configuration of the computer is done in such a way that some resources are allocated for your website in an exclusive manner. Speed and storage space are guaranteed here since allocation is exclusive to your website. A significant advantage over shared hosting is enjoyed here since other websites on the machine cannot encroach on your capacity. Security is another area where you will not have concerns beyond your own website. Unlike shared hosting where security is a shared concern, in virtual hosting you will only need to take care of your website. There is very little chance that your website could come under attack simply because another website on the same machine has been compromised. Greater control of your website through root access is another big plus for virtual hosting.
There clearly are more benefits in virtual hosting as compared to shared hosting. There are situations however where your business web hosting may not require much. In such a situation you can go for shared hosting as long as it is with a reputable provider. As your website grows you can then move on to virtual hosting and later get a managed dedicated server host at a time when your business will require high capacity and power.
