Types of hosting you can hire for your business website
To start, you must be very clear about one thing: not all hosting is the same.
Normally, if a hosting is more expensive than another it is for a reason (because it offers better services, more resources, etc.)
Remember that popular saying (at least here in Spain) that says that nobody gives duros for four pesetas. A saying that is a true truth.
With this in mind, you should also know that there are different types of web hosting that can be classified mainly into 3 :
Shared accommodation
VPS or Cloud Hosting
Dedicated Servers
Below I will show you the specific characteristics of these types of hosting so that you better understand their differences (and why some have one price and others another).
Shared hosting
It is the most widely used type of hosting because its prices are usually cheaper.
In shared hosting, your website will be on the same server as many others (hence the name).
Their resources are usually quite limited. However, it is a very valid option to start a project in which you do not foresee that you will have a large volume of traffic.
The price of this type of hosting can be found starting at around €30. Although it is also true that this is an extremely cheap price. I am talking about a minimum price that can be found in some providers, but it is probably so cheap because they do not offer you other types of services that are also essential.
Currently, my website is on one of these shared hosting plans with intermediate features depending on my current traffic and what I have needed to implement on it, since at the moment I do not need anything else.
