What is the difference between Dedicated (Private) hosting vs. Shared Hosting?
Dedicated hosting is when your site is the only site on a given physical server. You may either use a third-party hosting company or opt to host your site on a server on site (not-recommended). Shared hosting is when your site is hosted within a shared environment. In this case, multiple websites will be hosted by the provider on a given physical server. The shared solution is much cheaper than the dedicated solution. However the drawback of the shared environment is that you are compromising on performance and security.
There are different types of hosting and one should choose the appropriate one based on RAM, traffic, performance,privilege etc.
In Shared hosting system, multiple websites share a single server and each website is previously allocated for certain amount of disk space, bandwidth and so on. Thus, if you choose shared web hosting to host your website, then you will use only that allocated part or portion for your website. It is a perfect and cheapest alternative to dedicated hosting. This type of hosting is ideal for simple websites like personal websites, small business websites.
Dedicated hosting provides powerful and secure web hosting solutions for companies and consumers with more sophisticated website needs. Dedicated hosting provides the user with a own server that can be customized to user preferences. They are more advantageous based on uptime,security and room for expansion with the privilege to expand in RAM size,bandwidth,processor speed etc.
