Shared hosting providers are just that: Spaces and resources that are shared with tons of other websites. It tends to be the cheapest option and beginner friendly.

Because you’re sharing these resources with other websites, that can affect your website’s performance and speed. For example, if another website on the same shared hosting platform gets a spike in website traffic, your website’s speed can decrease. This can negatively affect your SEO rankings.

This option can make it extremely hard to scale your website, and security isn’t the best.

Think of shared hosting like living in an apartment complex; Your website is renting space to live in, but are sharing communal spaces with other sites.

Stands for Virtual Private Server: VPS is the middle option for hosting providers. With VPS, you are sharing storage spaces with less websites and you have more private resources dedicated to your website. Think of VPS hosting as owning a condo-you share less communal areas but share the same building.

This is the best of both worlds, and great for your wallet too! Great for websites that are starting to slowly gain traffic and want to speed up your site significantly.

Dedicated hosting is when you have one dedicated server reserved just for your website only, no sharing resources with other websites!

Only catch is it’s much more pricier, but it is worth it if you want a hosting provider that is customizable to your website’s needs. Think of it as owning a home-you can do so much, and it’s your very own space!

This is a great option for high traffic websites and ecommerce sites. And the best part: Security and performance are top notch!
