Shared Hosting VS Virtual Private Server Hosting

Let’s see a quick introduction about this blog post. It mainly gets you the idea on the differences between shared and Virtual Private Server hosting. This topic includes pros and cons of both the shared and Virtual Private Server hosting.

WHAT IS SHARED HOSTING?

This is a hosting where many people host on a single high class server. Particularly if you want an example. Let us take a house, many people are sharing the house like a lodge. And so you guys are going to share everything like the storage space and things related to it. Moreover this suitable for the beginners, bloggers and small business starters. As most of the hosting providers like us have an option to upgrade with 1-click. I should prefer it, when the shared hosting package which you currently hold is not enough for your preference and the traffic you own.

Be sure to upgrade to the high level package which is suitable to your needs. Don’t worry, because as same like the upgrade option, there is availability of the downgrade option too. So, its easy to downgrade either by raising tickets or contacting the support.

Pricing: The pricing differs. So, the server specifications differs from provider to provider. Some uses larger capacity servers with SSD and things like that, the memory capacity differs. If all these things differs, then the capability also differs. According to it, the pricing also differs. The shared hosting package starts from 20 ₹ / month to about 9.95 $ / month. Great differences right!. Let’s see the pros and cons as followed by.

Pros:

1. Pricing is less.
2. Good server capability.
3. Comes with Control panels.
4. Well maintained

Cons:

1. Many domains are hosted in your server.
2. Traffic may cause server issues.
3. Can’t have root access to the whole server.
4. Shared IP

WHAT IS VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER HOSTING?

Well it gets complicated here. It’s the complete reverse of the shared hosting. You are the owner of the server. No one has access to your site other than you. Well, this can make your work more. Because you need to make everything on your own. I mean, maintenance is need to be done from your side. As the server comes with SSH VPS access with Linux and RDP access with the Windows VPS. The hosting providers setup your server with necessary things like working with ports and firewall etc. You will be getting a dedicated IP.

You may need to work more because most of the providers won’t provide 1-click installation for VPS hosting. I recommend you guys to double check whether they provide, root access for your servers, through SSH or RDP, either of these. As we have talked about the shared hosting server capability. You can’t get the specifications of the server which shared hosting hold. Because it costs high, and those servers are for multiple domain hosting. No worries you still want to host a single website on a server which has a higher capability. I am not coming between.

But it’s totally waste because you will be getting good data transfer speed, so you don’t have to worry about traffic. On the other side, a good medium server is enough for business. If you hold more viewers like famous search engines and social media websites or ecommerce websites. You may go with the high capability VPS servers. As coming on the pricing, the 1 year complete shared hosting package cost = 1 month of VPS hosting cost.

Little interesting right, lets continue with that interesting shock, yeah because you need to make your business higher and higher. You may need to use this. Because you are earning much to afford the site. Well there are more features available when compared to the shared stuff, in the category of pricing, its little much. But it fully deserve it. Let’s see the pros and cons followed by this.

Pros:

1. Dedicated IP.
2. Full root access.
3. No issues.
4. You the “OWNER”
5. Unlimited features.

Cons:

1. Completely should be managed by you.
2. Functionality is based on your resources.

We are us. And We were us.
