Web Hosting Explained: Shared, VPS and Cloud Options

NIYO1 min read

Every website and web application needs hosting. The right option depends on traffic, performance needs and how much control you want.

Shared hosting

Many websites share one server. It is affordable and simple, making it suitable for small business websites with modest traffic.

Virtual private server (VPS)

You get a dedicated slice of a server with guaranteed resources and more control. It suits growing websites and custom applications.

Cloud hosting

Resources run across many servers and can scale up or down with demand. It suits applications with variable traffic or high availability needs.

What to look for in any provider

  • Reliable uptime and responsive support
  • Automatic backups
  • SSL certificates for secure connections
  • Data centres close to your users for faster loading

Start with what you need today but choose a provider that makes it easy to grow tomorrow.
