To be viewed online, website material including HTML, CSS, and images must be stored on a server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>TYPES OF WEB HOSTING<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\nThere are different types of Web Hosting available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. SHARED WEB HOSTING<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\nShared hosting is perfect for entry-level website hosting. In Shared Hosting, \u00a0your website will be stored on the same server as multiple other websites.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\nWith a shared hosting plan, all domains share the same server resources, such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and CPU (Central Processing Unit).<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\nHowever, because all resources are shared, the cost of shared hosting plans is relatively low, making them an excellent option for website owners in their beginning stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>ADVANTAGES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Low cost<\/strong>:&nbsp;The cost-effectiveness is the biggest advantage of shared hosting because you are sharing the server space with another user, and the provider is capable to make profits and provide a cheaper service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It\u2019s flexible:<\/strong>&nbsp;New online ventures can begin with a shared plan and upgrade without hassle as their site grows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It\u2019s easy to self-manage:<\/strong>&nbsp;Shared hosting is simple and straightforward to set up. Most of the providers offer a control panel to manage your website. This control panel manages the administrative tasks and any monitoring duties associated with running a server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>DISADVANTAGES :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Low Security:<\/strong>&nbsp;The biggest disadvantage of shared hosting is the security issues that the server faces. Shared servers are usually prone to hacking attacks. Because If the server suffers any malicious activity, it affects the whole network of websites using the server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Slow website loading<\/strong>: As you need to share the resources of a single server, your website may often experience sluggishness brought about by the request for resources by other sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>&nbsp;Resource Limitation<\/strong>:&nbsp;You may experience resource limitation as everybody else in the network uses the same CPU, memory, and hard drive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. VPS HOSTING<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\nThe web host allocates an entirely separate partition for you on the server so you get a dedicated server space and a reserved amount of resources and memory. It is great for medium-sized businesses<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>ADVANTAGES :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Secure:<\/strong>&nbsp;As you don\u2019t share your OS with anyone else, there are no other websites on your server that potentially have access to your files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Customizable :<\/strong>&nbsp;With a VPS Server, you have your own Operating System. In VPS hosting, you have your own instances of all server applications such as Apache, PHP, and MYSQL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>&nbsp;Fast website loading:<\/strong>&nbsp;Website loading will be fast as you will get an entirely separate partition on the server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>DISADVANTAGES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Require technical help to set up:<\/strong>&nbsp;It requires some technical experience to control your server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More expensive than shared hosting:<\/strong>&nbsp;While fewer users share the same server, you have to pay more. This is the main disadvantage from a financial standpoint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shared hardware resources:<\/strong>&nbsp;Even you don\u2019t have to share the OS with someone else, but in VPS hosting hardware resources like RAM, CPU, and Storage will be shared with other users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ALSO READ: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.minervainfotech.com\/blog\/quick-guide-to-web-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>15 COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID IN WEB DESIGN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. DEDICATED HOSTING<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\nYou will own a dedicated server that is solely allocated to your websites. It is great for large-sized businesses that deal with heavy traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>ADVANTAGES :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Full control<\/strong>:&nbsp;When you choose a dedicated hosting provider, you get the full resources of a single server. You don\u2019t need to worry about other websites clogging up the server\u2019s CPU and RAM. You are allocated your own dedicated CPU, Ram, and Storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Highly Secured<\/strong>:&nbsp;With a dedicated server, you can also be sure that you aren\u2019t sharing space with a malicious website or a potential spammer. Dedicated hosting is particularly important for companies handling sensitive transactions over FTP or SSL, as it allows enhanced security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fast website loading:<\/strong>&nbsp;With a dedicated server, you can be sure that bad scripts running on another website or spikes in bandwidth usage won\u2019t slow your server down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>DISADVANTAGES :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Require technical help to set up<\/strong>:&nbsp;The user needs to have, at least, basic technical knowledge \u2013 of how server administration and management to make his server work efficiently. Otherwise, he may need to hire IT professional\/s to do the job for him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Costly:<\/strong>&nbsp;Dedicated Hosting is more expensive compared to other hosting solutions. This is because there is nobody to share the cost of operation with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>&nbsp;Regular maintenance:&nbsp;<\/strong>Dedicated Hosting requires daily maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. CLOUD HOSTING<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\nIt is a type of web hosting which uses multiple different servers to balance the load. Because It&#8217;s good for small to medium-sized businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>ADVANTAGES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scalable<\/strong>:&nbsp;With cloud hosting scaling your server resources couldn\u2019t be easier. In cloud servers, you\u2019ll have access to an intuitive site management dashboard. And this also let you view your site\u2019s performance in real-time. You can scale your server resources up and down on the spot&nbsp;without waiting for approval from the hosting provider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ease of use:<\/strong>&nbsp;It is easy to use and you don\u2019t need any technical help for setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Faster Website Speed and Performance:<\/strong>&nbsp;Most cloud servers can offer you blazing fast speeds. Cloud hosting also allows easier load balancing between multiple server environments, which can help to put much less strain on a single server\u2019s resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>DISADVANTAGES :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Limited Features:<\/strong>&nbsp;You should ideally be working with a provider who offers the value of unlimited bandwidth. You may also get limited storage space or accessibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Loss of Control :<\/strong>&nbsp;You are, essentially, trusting another party to take care of your data. You are trusting that they will maintain their data centers and servers with the same care as you would, if not more. You have to trust that your provider\u2019s data centers are compliant and secured both physically and online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Technical Issues :<\/strong>&nbsp;If you experience any technical issues, you have no choice but to call your hosted provider\u2019s technical support for help. You cannot fix your cloud server problems at your home, and some providers do not offer 24\/7 technical support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Contact Us \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Since the last 15+ years, Minerva Infotech is an expert in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.minervainfotech.com\/website-design-and-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">web design and development services<\/a> providing web solutions in 19 countries in 1300+ projects successfully to more than 137 clients globally.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\nIf you&#8217;re looking for a web design and development specialist for your business, then definitely we can help you!<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Contact us today for a free consultation with our experts!<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcde Call \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"tel: +91 8100 665964\">+91 8100 665964 (INDIA)<\/a>\u00a0|<a href=\"tel: +1 720 738 1011\">\u00a0+1 720 738 1011 (US)<\/a><br \/>\ud83d\udce7 Email \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:hello@minervainfotech.com\">hello@minervainfotech.com<\/a><br \/>\ud83d\udc68\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\udcbb Skype \u2013 minervainfotech<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT IS WEB HOSTING?
