Hosting is the basis for the site, the base, the foundation. It has its own classification and criteria, which will be discussed below.
Classification
Usually, hosting providers (Zomro, Godaddy, Namecheap, etc.) divide their services into 3-4 main types. To choose the right one specifically for your project, you need to familiarize yourself with each of them in detail.
Virtual
The most common option for small sites with a minimum level of traffic. Virtual hosting means that multiple websites are stored on the same server or on the same hardware. Shared servers are often the least expensive option, which makes them attractive to startups and other small businesses.
Dedicated server
When one website is hosted on one server, it is called a dedicated server. This configuration allows you to concentrate the capabilities of the computer on this server only on the website on which it is hosted. A dedicated server is more expensive than a shared server, but these additional costs are unavoidable for companies where website performance is paramount to success.
VPS (Virtual Private Server)
Similar to virtual hosting, VPS allows you to host multiple sites in one cloud server system. VPS is, in fact, a cloud version of the server; However, due to the scalability, flexibility and redundancy of cloud computing, VPS can offer more features. VPS is a good choice for enterprises with computing and functional requirements that change over time.
How to choose
When choosing an inexpensive VPS hosting provider, first of all, you should pay attention to the reliability and uptime of the hoster. The hoster should not only have a high uptime — this means that your site will be online more often, but also use advanced security measures such as firewalls and ssl encryption. In addition, you should be sure that they provide regular backup of data in case something goes wrong with your site or server.
Another factor to consider when choosing a cheap VPS hosting provider is the amount of disk space it provides and whether its price reflects the amount of disk space. It is important to make sure that you get enough space and at the same time a favorable price offer; however, some providers may offer seemingly low prices, but then charge extra for additional storage space or bandwidth.
It is also recommended to study any subscription plans offered by the hoster, as they are often accompanied by discounts or free offers, such as website templates or free email accounts associated with the plan, which can make it easier and cheaper to create an online store in the shortest possible time! In addition, some hosters may also provide support advice, which may be especially useful if you are new to web design/development or technology in general, as well as useful tutorials on topics such as setting up databases or installing.
Finally, make sure that any potential cheap VPS hosting company has a good reputation among its customers, so that you know that you will receive quality service, even if you will probably save on cost by choosing them over other options in this area, which in any case can be considered an “overpayment” because of their higher prices compared to budget alternatives.
