What type of web hosting is best for you
| Shared Hosting | Virtual Private Server | Dedicated Hosting | Reseller Hosting | |
| Details | Shared hosting means that there are many different websites all residing on one server. They share the servers resources. | VPS servers are made by partitioning a dedicated server. Each partition can run as its own individual server. | Dedicated hosting gives you the use of a whole server. It is not shared by anyone. | Reseller hosting allows the administrator to partition his resources to allow clients to have their own hosting account. |
| Advantages | -Lower Cost -Easy to set up |
- More customization available - Mid range price |
- Usually the fastest servers - Complete control over all aspects of the server |
- Very easy for you to partition accounts for sale |
| Disadvantages | - Not much flexibility, can be slower than other hosting options | - A little more expensive than shared hosting | - Higher costs - More work to maintain |
- Higher cost - Might not be as fast as a dedicated server - More maintenance needed |
| This type of Hosting is for you if… | This plan is great for people running smaller websites and that don’t need total control of everything. | This plan is great for people who want to have a dedicated hosting plan, but don’t want to spend a lot of money | This plan is great for people who run large and popular websites. People who have a lot of technical know-how usually use dedicated web hosting. | This plan is great if you want to resell hosting to other people. It is also great if you want to run a large number of websites by yourself. |
