Choose the Type of Hosting you Need
Shared Hosting
The most common hosting option for individuals and small businesses is shared hosting. Shared hosting means many different sites, thousands, all on the same server (computer). For low traffic sites, this is often a good way to go as the cost is low. However, your site is competing for resources with all the other sites on the server. And, there is a chance that malicious software could travel from another site on the server to your site.

Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated hosting is just as it sounds, a single server hosting a single website. Dedicated hosting is more expensive, but you’re getting a lot more for that money: All the resources of a single computer powering your website.

Virtual Private Server Hosting
VPS hosting is more complex. What you’re paying for is the cumulative resources of many computers networked together, acting as a single server. One advantage to VPS is you can scale from small to large websites without the need to switch servers. Typically VPS hosting rates are hourly rather than monthly.
