Distinguish between shared hosting and VPS hosting

[kaydenmurphy04]

Generally there are two types of hosting service, shared hosting and VPS hosting. In share hosting, the same site can host many host together. It is quite cost effective of hosting your site, as the cost of hosting is being shared among the owners of all the shared sites. Moreover, shared hosting is quite manageable and reliable, which makes it popular among the website owners. In VPS hosting systems, many sites are hosted together, but the difference lies between the third shared hosting. In VPS hosting the administrative freedom is given to all the site owners, which is not available in Shared hosting.

Shared Hosting allows multiple customers to share the resources of one server, so it is a very economical solution to host websites. All websites share the same IP and server hostname with shared hosting. This type of Hosting is not always well suited for all types of sites, especially for high traffic sites, because it is not always possible to isolate each website from other sites that share the server.

A VPS is just like a dedicated server in terms of functions it offers to its users like root SSH access, administrative control, flexibility to install custom software and applications etc but at an affordable price compared to a dedicated server. As a user you can get your own virtual environment with dedicated amount of server resources for your own usage. The control provided by VPS Hosting is perfect for developers or those who require total control and need to have the ability to configure the server the way they like, and install custom software as needed.

VPS Hosting is an isolated environment whereas in a shared hosting environment the server resources are shared among all accounts on the server. In a shared environment you have limitations that are determined by the host whereas with VPS Hosting you are in control – you decide how and what your server is to run.
