How to choose the best web hosting solution for

your business

InstructionsWith many different hosting solutions available,

it can be a daunting task to choose the one that best suites your use case and requirements.

we explain how each type of hosting plan works and the types of website and use cases s best suited for each.

1.Shared Hosting

“This is the cheapest hosting plan available and is best suited for personal and non-commercial websites. Shared hosting is where your hosting package is hosted on a high-performance server which is shared with other customers. Because there are many customer websites being hosted on one server, it means the cost of hosting is distributed and shared across multiple customers – meaning shared hosting is the cheapest and most cost-effective way for

getting your website online

2Reseller Hosting

“▷ Reseller hosting is the same as shared hosting but allows

you to create separate shared hosting accounts yourself, meaning you can resell shared hosting to your customers. This is very popular with web designers and professionals

which offer design and development services and host client websites themselves. Reseller hosting is also a great

option for small web hosting providers who wish to, or already, resell shared hosting to their customers

3VPS Hosting

“▷ Many people need more performance and stability than what can be offered in a shared hosting environment,

but do not need to go all the way to a dedicated server. In these situations, a virtual private server (VPS) is the ideal next step. Virtual servers provides you with a fully

isolated and secure server environment which is virtualised on a high-performance dedicated server

which is shared with other virtual servers on the server.

4Cloud hosting

“▷ Cloud servers are much like virtual private servers –

they are virtualised containers which have a secure share of a server’s resources. However, unlike VPS

hosting, a cloud server is much safer against downtime and hardware failure as we’ll explain

below. While cloud hosting is a little more expensive than a virtual private server – if redundancy and scalability is important to you – cloud hosting is a

good option to consider, especially for eCommerce stores and business websites.

“▷ Dedicated servers offer superior performance to virtual

servers and are a good choice when performance is important. A dedicated server is a physical server which is leased to you, allowing you to take full

advantage of the performance offered with full root access. You have full control over the operating

system, hardware, software and server-side applications.
