Shared vs VPS vs Cloud Hosting: What is the Difference?
vinodh · · 1 min read
The three most common hosting types differ mainly in how resources are shared and who manages the server.
Shared hosting
Many websites share one server. It is affordable and simple, ideal for new sites.
VPS hosting
You get a dedicated slice of a server with guaranteed resources and root access. It needs more technical skill unless the plan is managed.
Cloud hosting
Your site runs on a cluster of servers so capacity can grow quickly and a single hardware failure does not take you offline.
Tip: start small, measure traffic, and upgrade when your site actually needs it.
