The Difference between ‘Shared’, ‘VPS’ and ‘Dedicated’ Hosting?

T

Shared hosting is where the server users share the same type of resources on a single machine. The drawback of such a server is that in the case of a shared machine, the traffic or anomalies of other server users may affect your website’s performance. The best thing about it is that it is the cheapest of all. So, if all necessary security management is done and there are no problems with other server users’ traffic and security then shared hosting is best suited for SMEs.

Dedicated hosting is when the company or the server user opts for the entire machine to run its data and website on. Thus, the user is subscribed to pay for the entire rent of the server machine.

This is the most expensive but robust solution for organizations whose data requirements are huge.

VPS is a solution where shared virtual machines are hosted on the same machine.

How does VPS hosting differ from shared and dedicated hosting?

H

Virtual Private Server hosting involves multi-tenant cloud hosting with virtual machines running on a single device. Dedicated hosting requires getting an entire machine with cloud hosting and maintaining sustained access to software and other resources of that machine. The end-user has to pay for the entire machine rent in the form of a subscription.  This model offers maximum possible hardware flexibly. In the case of VPS hosting, there are multiple instances of virtual machines and each machine acts as a dedicated host.

In the case of shared hosting, the end-users share the physical and software resources of a machine on which their data and website are hosted.  This is the cheapest type of all. Dedicated hosting is the most expensive but complete robust solution for enterprises. VPS hosting doesn’t also come at a low price but it is still more cost-effective than a dedicated environment.
