Web Hosting Guide
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is needed to host a website on the Internet.
If you want to host a website, then you need web hosting. Web hosting is a service that allows you to publish your site on the Internet. When someone wants to visit your website, the server sends over the content to the visitor's web browser.
A server is a powerful computer located in a data center and connected to the Internet by a high-speed network interface. We can form a combination of such servers to build a cluster or a cloud.
If you want to build a new website or if you have a small site then you may want to purchase shared web hosting. If you want an entire server for yourself, then you need to buy a dedicated server. If you require more resources than a shared web hosting account but do not want an entire dedicated server for yourself, then you may take a look at VPS hosting. If it sounds confusing, do not worry! We will break it down for you.
Shared Web Hosting
Shared web hosting is the most common type of web hosting. We often term it as just web hosting. Several websites operate on a shared server connected to the Internet. All domains hosted on the same server share the available resources including the CPU and the RAM. You do not get root access with a shared web hosting account. Other than that it offers features that most website owners need.
VPS Hosting
If you need more resources than a shared web hosting account offers, then a VPS is the right choice. A hypervisor divides the resources of the parent server into smaller virtual environments, each of which can operate independently. With full root access, you get complete control of your VPS and can install anything that does not violate our terms of service.
