Are you confused when it comes to hosting? Well, you’re not alone. Besides all the technical data hosts provide on their sales pages, there’s also the problem of understanding what different types of hosting or servers you might be putting your site onto.
Did you realise that your website could be sharing the same server and its facilities with hundreds of others?
There is a whole range of types of hosting, allowing different types of access and services.
Free Hosting
This is the worst type to use. The only good thing is that it is free but then you “pay” for that by having ads on your site. Also, you’re using their domain name, such as yourdomain DOT freehosting.
You don’t have any control over what happens to your site, either.
Shared Hosting
Your website shares the same server as perhaps hundreds or thousands of other websites. So, you’re probably sharing what’s available on that server, such as RAM capacity. Nevertheless, you usually get a range of services available.
Reseller Hosting
This allows you to sell hosting yourself. You might have any type of server, including a dedicated server. The idea is that you’d give the same or similar service as the original host. You might provide your own support or be tied in with the original host’s support. Really, it’s basically private labelling the host’s service so that you make the profits.
Dedicated Hosting
In this case you’re given your own, not a shared, server. You can get Self-Managed hosting where you’re responsible for the security.
