    Shared hosting is the cheapest as it uses a single server to cater to many websites. Cloud is also very affordable for most of the small and medium companies.

    The cloud hosting will come a close second as it has the luxury of multiple servers catering to the same set of websites. A shared hosting is not for one who needs the speed of page loading.

    If you are expecting much traffic spikes, then cloud and dedicated hosting are the ones for you. Though most shared hosting promise you 99.99% uptime, if there is a traffic spike in your website you can suffer downtime. In cloud and dedicated hosting, you have the server for yourself and can take traffic spikes without any problems. Even if one of the servers fails in the cloud hosting, there are other servers to use resources from.

    This is a major issue that all websites face. It depends on how you configure it. But in shared hosting, there is always the danger of hackers. If a hacker has entered any one website in a shared hosting environment, he or she can easily access your website.

    In cloud and dedicated hosting this problem is almost completely removed. You get complete access control and you can protect your data and privacy. Even if there is a problem with your server you can easily be moved to another server.

    I believe it will be much more reasonable to choose cloud hosting service, but it is a bit costly.
    I can recommend several web hosts:
    1) Hostingsource.com
    2) Aspnix.com
    They are optimized for application hosting and provide more security, reliability and speed than traditional web hosts.

    Shared hosting refers to the hosting plan that has multiple websites hosted together and sharing resources on one server (disk space, storage, bandwidth and databases etc). Most, if not all the web hosting providers offer this hosting plan.

    Shared hosting offers the cheapest service that a cloud hosting also offers but they are different from each other if you analyze their service providing quality. Shared hosting is good for your business when you are a beginner but staying on it won't be good because shared hosting lacks security whereas cloud hosting ensures you the high security. In a shared plan you have to share your web space with other clients that's why it is difficult to reach to your clients as not having good page-loading speed. A cloud hosting has multiple servers, so, there is no possibility to face slow loading and no fear of losing your visitors. So, if you pick a cloud plan for your business and if it is from a good service provider, then you can be free from your hosting tension.

    Cloud hosting is the procurement of computing resources from a cloud computing provider or facility to host data, services and/or solutions. Cloud hosting is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud delivery model that provides a suite of remote/virtual services.

    A shared hosting plan hosts multiple accounts on a single dedicated IP address. They are usually used to save costs and space for hosting. Shared hosting is not very recommendable as they do not provide data security as the same space and IP address is shared between multiple clients.

    Shared hosting servers are servers with multiple websites on them. ... Cloud hosting is a service that exists on multiple servers. Instead of on one shared server, your site is hosted in the cloud. This means the company can bounce your website hosting between servers as it adjusts to performance spikes and other stresses.

    Shared web hosting is a service where multiple websites are hosted on a single server, and all the websites share the server's resources such as CPU, RAM, and storage. It is typically the most affordable option for small businesses and individuals who need to host a website.

    Cloud hosting, on the other hand, uses a network of servers to host websites, rather than a single server. This allows for more flexibility and scalability as website traffic and resource usage can be distributed across the network of servers. It also provides better reliability and uptime as the failure of one server in the network does not affect the rest. Cloud hosting is typically more expensive than shared hosting but is a good choice for larger businesses or websites with high traffic.

    Another main difference is that shared hosting is managed by the service provider. In contrast, Cloud hosting you have to manage the resources by yourself.

    In summary, shared hosting is best for small personal websites or small businesses that don't need a lot of resources or flexibility, while cloud hosting is better suited for larger businesses or websites with high traffic that require more resources and scalability.

    shared hosting
    The most popular and cost-effective hosting solution is shared hosting. Shared hosting allows multiple webpages to utilize a single server and its associated hardware and software assets. By renting out an entire server in the cloud, you may avoid having to split the power of your host with anybody else, making your site significantly more effective. You have complete control over the website, including the ability to set it up and manage hosting accounts.

    cloud hosting
    If your website requires a more robust hosting solution than shared hosting, cloud hosting is a fantastic option. Both its speed and adaptability are exceptional. It gives you the choice to automatically scale up your site's capabilities in response to unforeseen increases in demand.
