To create a website of your
own, you will need a place where you can store all you web pages that contains
information that you want people to see. To do that, you will need a web hosting
service to publish your web pages online so that people who have internet can
have a look at it. In the market today, there are 2 types of hosting which is
much sought after, the dedicated hosting and shared hosting. Here is a simple
comparison on both of them.
Shared hosting is a service where the server where you have your website
hosted I shared among with other website owners as well. This type of service is
widely popular because of its affordable price. Most newcomers consider this as
their first option and it is also very suitable for small businesses. One shared
server would be able to host thousands of websites. This limits the resource of
the server but most customers are willing to accept that defect.

Everything in a shared hosting condition is shared. For instance the
software, security but the server is managed by the provider. For the users,
they are provided only with the fundamental controls like the control panel for
their hosting accounts. As for the server, it is controlled by control panels
like Helm or Direct Admin which is considered more complex. Most of the shared
hosting today uses Windows or FreeBSD. In order to more competitive in the
market, they will use Linux operating system into their control panel.
The biggest benefit of shared hosting is the affordable price. With even the
low price, users can get access to multiple databases, excellent tools for
management, programming script and free software. The bad side of it is its lack
of security and stability due to the huge amount of users in one server.
On the other hand, a dedicated hosting is a kind of hosting where the owner
has the whole server for himself. Users of this server do not have to share
space, bandwidth or resources with anyone else. This type of hosting is suitable
for users who will have a huge amount of traffic. It also provides you the
freedom to choose what software you want to use. Furthermore, you can host
multiple domains if you want to.
With a dedicated server, you will get much better security because there is
no other websites in your server. However, you will have to put more effort in
the operations of you server so that it remains stable and secure. This is
nothing to worry if you do not have the technical skills because hosting
providers do provide technical support to aid you.
