Types of web hosting explained
The easiest way to understand hosting is to think about how much of the server you share, how much control you get, and how much management you want to handle.
Shared hosting
Shared hosting puts many customer accounts on the same server environment. It is usually the simplest starting point for smaller websites that do not need isolated server resources.
Hosting for WordPress
WordPress hosting is built around WordPress workflows. Depending on the provider, that can include tuned server software, migration tools, staging, security features, backups, and WordPress focused support.
VPS hosting
A virtual private server gives you a more isolated allocation of server resources. It can make sense when a site needs more control, predictable resources, or software flexibility than ordinary shared hosting provides.
Reseller hosting
Reseller plans are designed for people who want to manage hosting accounts for clients. Agencies and freelancers often use them to keep multiple sites organized under one hosting relationship.
Dedicated servers
A dedicated server gives one customer the server rather than dividing it among unrelated hosting accounts. It offers more control and capacity, with more cost and management responsibility.
