Everyone who has a website or is currently searching for a web host has to have to choose between shared, dedicated or cloud hosting when they are in the process of choosing their web host. This article will break down the positive and negative points of each hosting type to help consumers be more informed and prepared with the hosting choice that they make. Shared Hosting The most common hosting type in this day and age is shared hosting. With this type of hosting one website is hosted on the same server with potentially hundreds of other websites. Pro: Shared hosting is affordable and many web hosts offer prices for as low as $5.00 per month. This means that any consumer can get a website online with any budget. Con: If other websites on the same server as your website are promoting “questionable” content or spamming you could face the consequences of having your IP address or emails blocked by the virus protection on computers of people who would potentially visit your website or receive email from you. Dedicated Hosting Pro: With dedicated hosting your website will be the only site on a server so you can rest assured that your site will never get shut down for something that you didn’t do Con: Dedicated hosting can be expensive so before deciding on any hosting company it’s important to look for an dedicated web host that will offer you the most return for your investment. Cloud Hosting Pro: With Cloud Hosting every website owner can rest assured that their website will always have 100% uptime because their websites resources will be spread out over more than one server or “cloud” which means that the website or it’s opt in form, e-commerce shopping cart or files will not be available for users or visitors. Many companies like Amazon.com have their websites hosted on Cloud Servers and are always able to offer reliability and up 100% up time to their customers. Con: Cloud Hosting does offer more “doors” for hackers to get to a web masters data. Before signing up with a Cloud hosting company it’s best to ask them how they protect their data to insure that it’s always safe from hackers.
