In today’s world, promoting a website through internet has become one of the important marketing strategies to get success.

If you are a newbie and making a website, you may be know about Programming and Design part, but web hosting is also a major part, which you need to look in.

In this article, we will discuss about the three different types of web hosting platform: Shared, VPS and Dedicated and which one is suitable for your website.

Shared Hosting – This websites is one of the most common and popular platform. In this platform, hundred of sites are hosted in one server and a small part of space and resources is given to the customers. Space starts from 500MB more and you get some 10 Email id’s and limited bandwidth. The hosting provider monitors the software and security updates. This type of platform comes in cheap price which come less then 15$ per year. However, it is not suitable for business website as you may face downtime issues sometimes due to multiple sites hosted on same server.

However, it is suitable for blogs, small website and personal websites.

VPS Hosting – recently popular hosting platform and a most suitable one for medium base websites and blog. The concept of VPS is that the server is a process of dividing the hard disk of the server in such a way that the every partition will work separately. The each partition runs can be individual operating system and can be separately rebooted. VPS provides more disk space and bandwidth compared with shared hosting; this platform is suitable for websites, which has regular amount of traffic such as forums, application websites made by developers. In this hosting, the customer has total control and access over the server. It also comes in two ways, on is managed and another one is unmanaged. Managed is more expensive than unmanaged this is due to the server are totally managed by the company.

Dedicated Hosting – One of the top-level web hosting for large traffic websites. In this server a customer, get the whole resources dedicated to one website only. This type of hosting is for very high traffic websites and blogs that have more then 10,000 visitors per day. This type of server is fully managed and there will be no downtime issues such as shared hosting. However, the prices will be much high compared with shared and VPS.

Therefore, if you are hosting your website you can choose anyone of the above hosting platform, which suits your requirements.
