Key quotes:

• "If you’ve spent any amount of time on a web host’s website, you’ve probably seen terms like shared , VPS , dedicated , cloud, WordPress, and reseller."
• "Larger businesses that expect big traffic to their sites should pick VPS or dedicated hosting, each of which offers increasingly powerful server specs."
• "That’s an entirely different beast that lets you easily scale website power across multiple servers, though not every web host offers it."
• "Think of it like this: a web host may have a maximum 5GB bandwidth, but depending on your hosting plan, your site may only allow 1GB of data transfers per month."
• "For example, DreamHost states on its website that the company doesn’t track “bandwidth or traffic, so you never have to worry about perky overage fees.” If you’re looking to sign up for shared web hosting, you’ll likely receive real estate on traditional hard disk Drive (HDD) server."
• "As you move up the hosting ladder to more powerful offerings, such as VPS and dedicated, web hosts will give you the option to build a site on a solid-state drive (SSD)."

Key quotes:

• "A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a wonderful affordable option for a growing business that doesn’t want to compromise on performance."
• "A VPS or Virtual Private Server is a hosting environment that provides partitioned or “virtual” space on a physical server shared with other clients."
• "And with a virtual private server, there are multiple clients on a physical server that are not sharing resources."
• "But once your business begins to grow and you need more control, better security and more flexibility, a virtual private server is a great option as you get the cost-savings of shared hosting and some of the performance benefits of having a dedicated server without the cost."
• "Now that we know the difference between a virtual private server and shared hosting, let’s take a look at the different types of VPS options."
• "Choose fully managed when: A self-managed VPS is for companies with system administrators or advanced IT staff that can manage the virtual private server completely."
