What are the pros and cons of shared hosting?
Every kind of service and solution has its advantages and disadvantages. For shared hosting plans, the resources will largely depend on your project. Let’s take the example of a professional website for a handicraft company. You will only see advantages to using shared hosting, as it has been specially designed for this type of use. You get an affordable web hosting plan, complete with storage space, a database for your content management system (CMS), an SSL certificate, and more.
For an e-commerce website, the Performance Hosting plan will do the job perfectly. However, as your business grows, you may think bigger and need to build an infrastructure that better manages it. At this point, you can switch to a higher performance solution that gives you more flexibility for administration. For these needs, you can choose from a range of solutions: our virtual private servers (VPS), dedicated servers or Public Cloud instances.
The differences between shared and dedicated hosting
The main difference between a shared hosting plan and a dedicated hosting plan is the environment it offers. On shared hosting, you share a server with other customers. This reduces the configuration and performance options available, as they must be suitable for all users.
On a dedicated hosting solution, such as a bare-metal dedicated server, you are the only one in control. All resources are allocated to you, and your environment is isolated from other services. This makes it a good choice for any project that requires advanced performance, or a very specific technical configuration. However, you will be responsible for managing it — which means you must have the technical skills required to do so.
