In recent years different types of web hosting have emerged on the internet. In order for you to understand them and recognize them, we present you here a few options of what you may encounter. Remember to look for the one that suits your needs.

The web hosting environment (or shared).

When you use free web hosting you are sharing a part of the server, and you are only a member of the club let us say. The host of the servers is the manager. In general, if there is some other user taking up too much space in the server, you and other users would have less for them. This could have an impact on the quality of the hosting you get. You may not be allowed to install any programs because it takes up space from the server, and it could damage the stability of the environment for the users of the server.

The dedicated private web hosting

Similar to the private accommodation, except that you rent a server and therefore it does not have anyone. Very limited assistance (via the URL) is included, but it could be a little more consistent with the best hosts.

This type of server costs 80-100 euros. The terms of the offer are often very general and it is necessary to clarify the details with the host. Before you hire, ask the server what responsibilities you have and what type of assistance they provide, including security. Private web hosting is good for game servers to large sites amateurs but not legitimate businesses that require monitoring.

The dedicated web hosting so-called “managed” or “turnkey”

This type of web hosting, just like the other ones, also includes maintenance and assistance form the host. This option provides more advantages to the user because it also includes the monitoring and updating of the server. Hardware warranties are also included as well as their installation of security patches.

Private web hosting (rental space)

In this option you buy the server from the companies that offer them, like Dell or HP. And you are your own host. Your server will then be connected to the company’s network. Private web hosting is more expensive but it is the right option when you can afford the management costs and you handle great amounts of information.
