Types of Web Hosting


The different types of web hosting are distinguished on the basis of requirement of level of effort, performance, scalability, security, level of management and various features. Let’s discuss some major kinds of web hosting.

There are hundreds of web hosting companies in Pakistan offering different services including SATA, SSD, MSATA drive based hosting with different bandwidth options. These companies are similar to international companies. 

Usually no hosting company owns data servers. Data Servers are different from hosting as they keep complete hardware linked with these hosting companies. There is no difference in company on the basis of services but difference can be on the basis of they hosting quality.

1. Shared Hosting – Best for Beginners


As the name depicts the shared hosting facilitates to locate your site on the same server. Many other websites can also be located on this server which depends upon the hosting providers and setup. It cost only $2/month. While using shared hosting one may face “bad neighbor effect”. It is best for a small business where there is limited traffic on sites. Exemplary fragments of shared hosting are, InMotion Hosting and Bluehost.

2. VPS Hosting – Next-level Shared Hosting


VPS abbreviated as Virtual Private Server. In this type of hosting there is a single physical server which serves numerous houses and machines. It forms a borderline between a dedicated server and shared hosting. It limits the number of website per server, I-e 10-20 websites per server. It is more expensive. Dreamhost is the best example.

3. Dedicated Hosting – For the Big Leagues


Dedicated hosting ensures the separate servers used by the single user. It disaffirms all the bad neighbor issues and resources will not be shared with any other which also reduce security risk. Customization can be made in such servers. On the other hand, their setup is very costly. Once if your hardware fails to perform you will run out of the whole system. 

WiredTreeGreenGeeks, and PickaWeb are the best kinds of dedicated hosting servers.
