This is one the more common question asked by the people. Those who are starting an online business and are looking to launch their newly built website. What is my best hosting option? There are numerous types of servers like shared servers, cloud servers, dedicated servers, and VPS servers. But what is right for my website? Let us go over some of the options.
Differences between the options?
- With shared servers and plans, the web space will be shared by multiple users and this will be the best option for startups.
- Next is a Cloud server which is a virtual server runs on the cloud computing environment. The cloud server is built, hosted and delivered through a cloud computing platform.
- The third one is the dedicated server in which space will not be shared with others. Mostly it is used by people running high traffic sites.
- Finally the last one is the VPS server and they are similar to the shared servers. With VPS the users will be getting an own private space which will not be shared with others.
What will you need?
This will depend on what your doing on the website. A heavy unique traffic with lots of pictures will put a load on the server. You might need a dedicated server. A light weight front end app with a niche user base, most files will be cached by the user so you can get away with a lighter set up, such as a shared plan.
