High-quality web hosting services will definitely be useful for your successful web site. So it is always difficult to choose the right one. Many web hosting companies mainly offer virtual shared hosting and dedicated hosting services.

The basic difference between them is to having site its own server or shares a single server with other web sites. With shared hosting services, many web sites share a single server machine with a single IP. With dedicated hosting, a single machine is dedicated for a single customer.

Hey Guys,
Your Web hosting company can be your site's best friend or worst enemy - depending on the level of service and responsiveness. A successful Web site depends on a good Web host, but it's just as important to select the right kind of hosting account.

Are you willing to share space on a server with other sites or do you need a server of your own? Know the answer before you start shopping.

Virtual web hosting is usually cheaper than the dedicated web hosting service. VPS is slightly slower that the fully dedicated web hosting server, as the VPS host many websites on a single server. In this type of web hosting service, even the IP address is shared.
In virtual web hosting, your website may be linked with some rouge websites which may hurt your website when that rogue website does unethical things and is banned. With that site banned by the search engines, it will affect your website too if your site shares the same IP address as that other site.

The main difference between VPS and dedicated hosting is going to be cost. It is far more expensive to have an entire server to yourself and if you can conceptualize exactly how much raw power a dedicated server can dole out, including the amount of traffic it can take, you will quickly see that very few businesses need this unless they are well into the millions of visitors each and every day with frequent spikes in there, as well. This is what dedicated hosting is for: total control over the server for those who have the skills to run such an operation. If this is you and you have a very serious web project you need hosting for then dedicated hosting is the only way to go.

The main reason for this is that, the dedicated web hosting server requires actual hardware, operating systems, and other necessary tools only for your own website. Nothing is shared with any other website.

I have been looking for a dedicated hosting company for my business. After doing some reasearch, so far, I think that hostingmyweb.com is the best. I found it in google.

Virtual web hosting is usually cheaper than the dedicated web hosting service. The virtual web hosting server, also called VPS, or Virtual Private Server, or Virtual Dedicated Server, is slightly slower that the fully dedicated web hosting server, as the VPS host many websites on a single server. In this type of web hosting service, even the IP address is shared.In virtual web hosting, your website may be linked with some rouge websites which may hurt your website when that rogue website does unethical things and is banned. With that site banned by the search engines, it will affect your website too if your site shares the same IP address as that other site.

Usually, web servers have an operating system that helps in controlling it. However, virtual web server formed by partitioning a physical server in many servers in specific way so that each partition is a server in itself. These partitioned servers can have independent operating system of each partition.

Each partitioned virtual private server can also be rebooted independently. The physical server that contains all the VPS first boots in the normal way. This physical server then uses a program to boot each VPS inside a virtualization environment that is similar to an emulator. All these VPS are not directly accessed to any hardware on the physical server, so they are booted or started from a disk image.

VPS lies between the shared web hosting servers and the dedicated web hosting servers. Hence, VPS is costlier than the shared hosting, but cheaper than the dedicated hosting service. The VPS is generally slower because VPS produces some limitations as the random access memory (RAM), disk space, and processor time are shared by the virtualization clients use the single physical server with so many independent virtual operating systems being sun simultaneously. Hence, the dedicated hosting service is the answer to all these limitations for the serious users who need complete physical resources of the web server.

The VPS is also called the dynamic dedicated server as the VPS runs virtually, that is, without accessing the operating system of the physical web server.



Dedicated Web Hosting Service

In dedicated web hosting, a physical web hosting server is used only by an individual user. Dedicated web hosting server is not shared like the virtual web hosting server. In dedicated web hosting server, an individual client has full control over the entire dedicated web server, that is, a web server is dedicated to that user’s website alone. If any kind of problems occurs with the dedicated web server, then you just need to contact your web host support and your web host provider will take care of these problems.

If you are ready to pay for your web host’s support staff, it is well and good. Otherwise, if you wish to do the entire business using the dedicated web server, then you will have to hire your own technical support staff.

In Dedicated web hosting server, you will not be having any problems regarding the disk space usage or the bandwidth, as you are the only user on that particular web server and get almost unlimited disk space and all the allocated bandwidth for your website alone.

So, the main difference between the dedicated web hosting server and the virtual web hosting server is that, the dedicated web hosting server is quite costlier when compared to the virtual web hosting server. The main reason for this is that, the dedicated web hosting server requires actual hardware, operating systems, and other necessary tools only for your own website. Nothing is shared with any other website.

You have exclusive use of the dedicated web server and all its resources. However, this is not the case with virtual web hosting server. The virtual web hosting web server, as said in the previous section, uses less resources, are virtually hosted on partitions of a physical web server, and shares the physical server with other users. This makes the VPS quite cost-effective as compared to the dedicated web server hosting.

So, if you are a beginner in this field and you do not expect a lot of web traffic initially to your website, then you should choose the virtual web hosting service, or even the shared web hosting service and carry on doing your online business till your website needs upgrading to the dedicated web hosting service.

You will know when you need the dedicated web hosting service! Once your website gets a lot of web traffic and your bandwidth comes dangerously close to overflow the allocated units to you, and also when the disk space that is allocated comes to overflow the allocated units. It is then that you must seriously consider having the dedicated web hosting services for your website.

Dedicated server is a Standalone server and Virtual private server (VPS) is a server derived by dividing a Dedicated server into several small servers using some virtualization application. A VPS server offers you with same features that are offered with a Dedicated server. The only difference is the resources allocated to both the servers. A dedicated server will definitely have more resources and a higher price when compared with a VPS server. If you are looking for economical hosting solution with lots of features than you can surely opt for a VPS server. VPS is generally good to start with and later on you can even upgrade to a Dedicated server.
