Dedicated or Virtual Hosting - What to choose?

Hosting is a service that provides access to server resources located in a data center. If you own a website, you need hosting to make it accessible to users online. A server is the space where your website is stored and served to the digital world.

Shared Hosting

Shared hosting is an affordable and popular solution that meets the needs of most basic users. Multiple customers share the resources of a single server, including memory and processing power, each having their own allocated disk space.

What you get:

• affordable hosting
• phone and email support

If you run a small business or are just starting your online journey, shared hosting is a great fit for you. The server maintenance cost is distributed across many users, ensuring a low price for everyone. However, there is a downside – if one user receives a surge in traffic due to heavy promotion, it may consume a significant portion of the server's resources and slow down other users' websites.
