Understanding Different Types Of Hosting

Gagan — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:09:19 +0000

While selecting any hosting plan you might come across different terminologies. Every type of hosting is different from other in some way or the other. In this article, I am going to explain you about all types of hosting so that you can easily know which hosting you should go for. I’ll tell you about advantages and disadvantages of each and every type of hosting. Lets start :

Shared Hosting

It is one of the basic type of hosting and is also known as Virtual Hosting. As the name says, in this type of hosting many websites are hosted on one single web server. In the server, various partitions are made and each site is allocated with bandwidth and space.

Advantages

Shared Hosting can be available at an extremely cheap rate i.e $4.95/mo. This is the main advantage of shared hosting. Most of the new Blogger start with this type of hosting and as they start getting huge traffic they move to better hosting.

Disadvantages

Most of the hosting companies like Dreamhost or Hostgator provides Shared Hosting with unlimited space and bandwidth but they do not tell that Shared Hosting comes with limited CPU usage. Yes, this type of hosting is not designed for high traffic. This is a big drawback.

In brief : If you want to start a blog or a small business website then Shared Hosting is best option for you.

Grid Hosting

Grid Hosting is same as Shared Hosting but it overcome the disadvantages in Shared Hosting. When your site gets huge traffic, the load is then divided among different systems. The image below will help you in understanding Grid Hosting more.

Advantages

Here, you do not have to worry about site load, you site will be up always even if your site takes up too many processing units.

Disadvantages

The only thing you have to worry about is “bill”. Too many resources = larger bill. I think, this is really a disadvantage.

Reseller Web Hosting

This hosting is for those who want to start their own hosting company. It is a type of hosting in which the account holder has the right to sell hosting to their own customers. You can get reseller hosting at about $25 per month.

VPS (Virtual Private Server)

It is also known as Virtual Dedicated Server(VDS) and is same as Shared Hosting. In this type of hosting, a main physical server is partitioned into different servers that works as an independent dedicated machine. Features of VPS are :

Each server can be rebooted individually
Each account has access to the root
Each server has a particular RAM and CPU usage allocated
Can host many sites on the same server

Now one thing you will ask is that why this type of hosting is termed as “Virtual”. That is because the server your own is not actually a private server but it appears to you as a private one.

Advantages

It gives a lot of options to users and users can monitor and administer their own server.

Dedicated Server

The name says it all, in this type of hosting, you are given the whole server and is not shared with anyone. You have full control over the server. You can select your own operating system.

Advantages

Best option for you if you have multiple high traffic websites
It can be called as the most reliable type of hosting

If you are planning to start your own blog and looking for hosting company, I recommend you Dreamhost or Hostgator. Just buy Shared Hosting and as your blog starts getting traffic you can move to Grid or VPS. We will be more happy to have your comments on Which hosting you like the most and why ?
