Whats the difference between “Shared” hosting and a “Dedicated” server?
Shared hosting is when multiple customers’ websites are hosted on one server. A dedicated server is when you are the only customer on the server. You have full control over the server, and you can place as many websites on it as you like. The only websites on your dedicated server are yours. Most individuals use shared hosting, as it’s much cheaper. By the way, “shared” hosting doesn’t mean that other customers can access your code or control panel or anything like that. It simply means that, behind the scenes, there are other websites being hosted on the same server. Only the hosting provider will have admin access to all websites on the shared server.
