1. Introduction

Currently, if talking about the concept of web hosting, for developers, it is no stranger. Especially the web developer, the more familiar thing.

We can understand that web hosting works as a data center of our website. And depending on storage requirements, control capabilities, professional skill requirements, server speed and assurance we will choose different types.

2. Divide the type of web hosting

Currently there are 4 types of web hosting:

  • Hosting
  • VPS
  • Server
  • Cloud Hosting

Hosting (Shared Hosting)

With Shared hosting (also called hosting), your website is placed on a server along with many other websites, which can range from a few hundred to several thousand websites. Normally, these websites share the same resources from the server as RAM and CPU. At a low cost, most of these sites run standard software built into the server.

Advantages:

The low cost is also very easy for you to operate in the early stages because it does not require too much professional skills

Defect:

There is no deep access to the system, is limited when your website has a large amount of traffic, and your website's performance may be affected by other websites on the same server.

VPS (Virtual Private Server Hosting)

A VPS (virtual server) is divided from a server, each website with VPS is like a server, but in fact you are sharing a server with several other users, but only a few with hundreds or thousands like hosting.

Advantages:

Each user has deep access to his VPS space system and ensures better data storage environment than hosting. Websites need better security control and processing speed but do not want to invest in a server that can consider VPS.

Defect:

Although there is a better processing speed than hosting, VPS generally has many limitations on this part if you choose VPS service packages that do not meet the requirements and your website's performance can still be affected. by other websites on the same server. However, the level of influence is not much.

Server (Dedicated server)

What is a private server? A dedicated server (Server) gives you complete control over the server you set up your website – You are exclusively authorized to use it and can re-lease it to other users. Your website is the only website on the server if you wish.

Advantages:

You have full rights to use that server, have deep access to the system.

Defect:

The only weakness of the Server is the cost. Servers are often very expensive and it is only recommended for use when you really need maximum control and require quite high performance. In addition, you must make sure you have a certain knowledge to be fully in control of the server's performance.

Cloud Hosting

What is Cloud Hosting? Cloud Hosting gives you an unlimited ability to handle large traffic. This is how it works: a group of servers (also known as clouds) work together to manage a group of websites. This allows multiple servers to work together to control traffic from any particular website within the managed group of websites.

Defect:

Many Cloud Hosting is adjusted to limit deep access to your system (such as changing system settings and adding some support software) and high cost.
