In your efforts to discover the best hosting solution, various options can come across. Shared hosting and VPS hosting are two of the most probable and practical options you will have in mind. At a glance, the two may seem very similar. However, if you study them closely, you will discover their differences and see clearly which one is a better hosting solution that will meet your needs.

In the eyes of a serious webmaster, the distinction between these two service plans in terms of abilities and other options can be made clearer.

VPS offers a significantly more advanced and innovative form of shared hosting. VPS hosting, which stands for Virtualized Private Servers, can provide the users to have control and flexibility in a shared host. This is how.

The company that offers the web hosting starts with a regular server. It then installs in a new operation system. After that, a specific program is utilized in order to come up with independent and isolated virtual servers within the original server. The result is that the original server is fragmented into several virtual servers that act quite similarly with a normal dedicated hosting.

However, there are several users for each server. To cite an example, it is like having one house wherein all the rooms are being rented. In this sense, each room within the house offers it own distinct space and the user has the power to change it as he pleases. Though each of the rooms functions separately and are designed uniquely by their occupants, all of them are still within the same house. Figuratively, this is how VPS can be described.

Another type of hosting is referred to as Shared Hosting. As the name implies, it is the type of hosting wherein several users share the same server including the same resources. Each user has his own limitations in terms of what he can make use of such as storage space, email accounts and allotted bandwidth for each month.

Furthermore, since it is a shared website hosting service, all the users can maximize the use of the servers resources and hardware. One of the advantages of this type of web hosting service is that the users are only required to perform minor maintenance. This is because the hosting company is the one that is fully responsible in making the server work at its best for its users.

Another difference between VPS Hosting and Shared Hosting is that VPS servers allow root access. This makes it possible for the owner to create changes and control other options such as operating system, firewall and administrative rights. These options are not provided in Shared Hosting.

Why should you choose VPS hosting over shared hosting?

First of all, you must be aware that you can get web hosting in many different packages and forms. You can go large scale with grid hosting. This is a number of servers getting clustered together with many nodes. You also have home servers, in which you own a machine that hosts your site through an end-user internet connection.

There is shared hosting, in which a great many sites are hosted within the same server. Then you have VPS hosting (virtual private server). The word “private” signifies one of its best features- privacy. Of all the different types of hosting, shared hosting and virtual private server hosting are the most popular.

One thing to keep in mind about shared hosting is that due to the fact that everything is shared, what affects one person affects everybody. This includes any safety threat or virus, as it will hit more than just its intended target.

With a virtual private server you have more privacy. Although it comes at a bit of a higher cost, you have a lot more control over things like installed programs and operating systems. With a virtual private server you also have control over firewalls and configuration, but within the limits the owner of your server sets. What this basically means is that you can’t be harmed by the other people on your server.

This isn’t to totally rule out shared hosting. Really, there are some people that do well with handling control. There are other people who would rather have others do things for them. If you are not so great with technology, and all you need is just the basics when it comes to disk space and bandwidth, you may be better off finding a reliable service for shared hosting than dealing with the technological hassle of a virtual private server.

If you want to avoid some issues with shared hosting, you should get your own IP address. This way you can accept credit cards on your ecommerce site, and you won’t have to worry about the search engines punishing you just because a spammer is using your IP. With a dedicated IP you will also get better search engine listings and anonymous FTP downloads. If you invest just a little bit of extra money you can get some added security, not to mention all the extra features that are perfect for any webmasters.

However, keep in mind that you can’t even get the same security from a dedicated server that you can from a virtual private server. Furthermore, there are a lot of inexpensive plans out there for you to choose from. Some of them even start out as low as a month. You will find that this is generally the cost for even a shared hosting plan.

In general, if you are looking for hosting for personal use, or just on a small scale, you would probably be okay with just a shared hosting plan. However, if you are expecting your business to grow at any time, you would be better off to choose VPS hosting.

If you are using shared hosting and your website is getting slower lately especially when you have a lot of visitors, then it is the time for you to upgrade your account to VPS hosting or lease a full-blown server by upgrading to a dedicated hosting. Before you upgrading your account, you must understand what VPS and dedicated hosting is so you will not make a mistake of upgrading to the wrong service.

Here are the overview for each service and what it is good for:

VPS (Virtual Private Server) Hosting

VPS, just like its name is a server that runs on a virtual environment set in a host server. So one host server is partitioned and in each partition runs one VPS server, this type of web hosting is more powerful than shared hosting because you will have more resource dedicated to you. VPS acts like a full server so you can install your operating system of choice and also its supporting application, not all application can run on virtual environment especially anti virus program so make sure all your application can operate on a virtual environment.

You need to have some technical expertise to run a virtual server because it acts like a real server, you have to maintain it like a real server too so you need to know how to install updates, troubleshooting and other software maintenance.

If maintaining a server is not your expertise don’t need to worry because there is a managed VPS service where the hosting provider will take all the server maintenance for an added fee.

VPS is your choice if your website need more space (ex. for your collection of hundreds high resolution pictures) and for web developers to host their web projects because VPS can be set to their requirements.

Dedicated Server/Hosting

On dedicated hosting, you lease an entire server for your website and off course this also means you have a full server capability that is not shared with anyone at your disposal.

Dedicated server/hosting allow you to set the server based on your preference such as operating system, installed applications, and what service is running. There’s also type of service for dedicated server the unmanaged and managed service.

The unmanaged service means that after the service provider installed your operating system, application that you requested and after they give you a way to remotely maintain your server you are left alone. Technical knowledge is a must because you maintain your server by yourself. On the other hand, the managed service is where the service provider take care all the server maintenance for you, this service is more expensive, but recommended for you who have no or limited technical skill.

Dedicated server/hosting is suggested for large e-commerce websites and websites with heavy multimedia task such as streaming audio and video, these kinds of websites need more resource and reliability that only a dedicated server can provide.

When your website performance start to degrading don’t take the risk of staying with shared hosting, it will take more money, but it’s better than losing your visitors and customers. Use dedicated server if you have a large e-commerce or multimedia websites and use VPS if you need more space for your multimedia files or if you are a web developer, to host your web projects.
