What types of web hosting are there and how to choose the best one

A very important aspect, to which we often do not pay the attention it deserves, is the choice of web hosting. If we do not have much idea, we leave this choice to the provider, and if we have a minimum of idea, we usually resort to the cheapest one ... We are going to see the different types of web hosting and some tips when choosing the best hosting for your website .

What is a hosting or web hosting?

Basically it is about the space or "place" where it is housed, worth the redundancy, a website, such as a blog or an e-commerce so that anyone with internet access can see it.

You have to keep in mind that to define it you can find a relatively wide list of synonyms, such as: hosting (as we have said above), hosting or web hosting among others.

Types of web hosting

1. Shared Hosting

Your website will be hosted on a server to share among many other pages. Often too many ...

Since we will be sharing the same machine among many pages, our website will be able to pay for " the sins " of those other pages.

It may be the case that a page with which we are sharing a server, suffers an attack or has a programming failure and either impairs performance or directly causes the server to crash.

It is the cheapest type . Checkout Top 10 Shared Hosting 

2. VPS (Virtual Private Server)

It is the intermediate step between shared and dedicated hosting.

We will not have a machine just for ourselves, but we will have a reserved space, with dedicated resources just for us.

Currently they are with quite cheap prices, the problem we find is that most of the time we will have to be in charge of configuring and maintaining the server, so if we do not know about server administration we will have to hire that service separately. Checkout Top 10 VPS Hosting 

3. Dedicated server

It is the Ferrari of web hosting. The best solution if we want to have the maximum control of what exists in our machine and we seek maximum performance.

Like the VPS, we will have to be in charge of managing the server .

As the name suggests, we will have a machine just for ourselves. We will have all the resources available .

It is the best option if we have a website with many visits and / or very demanding of resources.

Of the types mentioned above, it is the most expensive . Checkout Top 10 Dedicated Servers

4. Cloud hosting, the new kid on the market

There is currently a new offer on the web hosting market. The cloud hosting .

To quickly understand cloud hosting , we must think that our website will not be on one server but on many servers.

The cloud hosting is a network of servers designed to provide maximum stability. The resources will be shared between several machines so that if one fails, there will always be another responding, offering maximum stability.

They are also very scalable hostings , that is, at any time we can demand more resources for our website if we need it.

The problem is usually the price and the configuration options, although more and more companies are betting on it and little by little we will see an adjustment in prices and more facilities for its administration.Checkout Top 10 Cloud Hosting
