by: rachna on Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 Time: 9:11 AM

Technology has changed the way of accessing the information that is available in different parts of world. Today we are living in a world that is highly accessible with the help of Internet. The one vital thing by which we are able to access the whole world via Internet is Web Hosting. A particular website need web servers to upload their site pages in order to get them retrieved by a user. The web hosts provides this server space in different formats according to the requirements of the user.

There are mainly three types of web hosting – Shared hosting, Virtual Private Server (VPS), and dedicated hosting. In order to choose the type of web hosting, you need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.

Shared Hosting
In this, web hosts are enabled to host many websites with the help of a single web server. It is website hosting service where you have maximum accessibility to your docs, data source by using an administrative interface but you share server with some other websites. The amount of disk space and RAM are assigned in minor amount to every single web hosting service accounts. This hosting package has a small amount of actual memory and disk space making them cost-effective. It is useful for the website that has low traffic and usually run lightweight CMS or static HTML files.

Virtual Private Server
It has features of both shared and dedicated hosting but it removes the limitations of both type of hosting. It uses special software that takes a single physical web server and divides it into 2 or more separate virtual web servers. Each virtual server acts as if it is a completely separate machine. The main large server is partitioned and leased out to different users, thus giving them their own operating systems and root access to these partitions. The access provides the users with great technical control and ability to update, install or change system software needed and to execute root user operations. VPS is needed if your website plans are dynamic and there is an expectation of erratic traffic on your website. It’s kind of intermediate hosting plan as it is expensive than shared but cheaper than dedicated hosting.

Dedicated Hosting
This hosting provides an entire web server to a single user. It can be use to sell shared or reseller hosting or can be use by a corporate to manage all their web sites. Dedicate hosting excels over shared hosting by providing more memory, disk space, CPU, RAM and bandwidth. It provides more security and uptime than a shared hosting as it is used by a single user.

In nutshell, the type of hosting depends on the requirements a particular user has. The shared hosting will be best for blog kind of sites, VPS for users who need the features alike dedicated hosting in a cost-effective manner whereas dedicated hosting for big corporate who wants to have all of their subsidiary websites on a single server.
