Web hosting has several different types of service tailored for the specific needs of website owners. The primary types of web hosting are as follows:

  1. Shared hosting. It is an entry-level means of hosting where multiple websites utilize the same server’s resources. It is the least expensive hosting solution, which is good for starting out website owners or small businesses with little web traffic. The performance may be impacted by other sites utilizing the server especially during peak usage.
  2. VPS hosting . Positioned between a shared and a dedicated server, VPS hosting offers greater control and more customization options. Each website has its own server space and does not share physical resources with other users. It is suitable for those who want more power but not a lot of control.

VPS hosting is a nice option for businesses or people who need more resources and flexibility than what shared hosting can provide, but don't necessarily require the full power and control of a dedicated server. With VPS hosting, you have the ability to customise your server environment to meet your specific needs, without the cost and complexity of managing a dedicated server. This makes it a cost-effective solution for those looking to scale their website or application without breaking the bank.
