The three main types of web hosting each serve a distinct set of needs. Understanding the differences helps you choose the right plan from the start.
Shared Hosting
Your website shares a server with hundreds of other sites. Resources are pooled and divided dynamically. This makes it the most affordable option at $2-10 per month. Ideal for personal websites, blogs, portfolios and small business sites.
VPS Hosting
A Virtual Private Server partitions a physical server into isolated virtual machines. Your VPS has guaranteed CPU cores, RAM and storage that other users cannot touch. More expensive at $15-80 per month, but behaves like a dedicated server. Ideal for growing businesses and e-commerce sites requiring consistent performance.
Dedicated Hosting
An entire physical machine leased exclusively to you. No virtualisation, no neighbours, no shared resources. Maximum performance and control. Costs $80-300 per month and up. Ideal for high-traffic sites and security-sensitive applications.
Cloud Hosting
Distributes your website across multiple servers. Resources scale automatically. If one server fails, others pick up the load. For most growing businesses, cloud hosting offers the best combination of performance, reliability and cost. View our cloud hosting plans
