Understand The Real Difference Between Shared Hosting And VPS Hosting

2014-11-14by Vakis Demetriou

Websites have attained great significance nowadays than never before. More and more people and organizations are depending on websites for creating brand awareness in the minds of customers as well as for selling the products. To support this trend, more and more companies have come up offering different types of web hosting services. People are totally confused about which type of hosting they have to select. Here we are discussing about the major differences between shared hosting and VPS hosting.

Both these types of web hosting have many things in common. In both of these types a single server will serve multiple customers and provide separate compartments for each customer to save their files separately. Both are economical and affordable to medium and small business hosting. These common factors create confusion between these two types usually.

The most important difference between the two types of hosting systems is related to the operating system. In Shared hosting, the operating system will be decided by the service provider and you will have to use the same where as in VPS hosting, the client has the freedom to choose the operating system of his own choice.

Second difference between these two systems is related to the security of data stored. In shared hosting, a client may get access to the data of other without any type of authorization. The system is vulnerable to such things. However in VPS hosting the virtual private servers are more secured and the data stored will be safer than in shared hosting.

In any case the security will not be as high as that in the dedicated servers where a single server is being used by a single client. However, dedicated servers will cost you more and not ideal for medium and small business hosting as they are not affordable economically. Besides, when you have very small quantities of data to store and have small number of visitors, going for a dedicated server is sheer waste as the revenue generated through the website may not be sufficient to maintain the server.

Now you can select the best method of hosting to host your website. Selecting the web hosting company is also as important as selecting the type of hosting. You should go deep in to details of the company such as their technical expertise, number of staff members in the customer service department, minimum down time etc to enjoy the full benefits of the site.

When you have an attractive website with all the information required by your customers and when you select the right web hosting company and the right web hosting type, you can enjoy your business without much headaches.
