>>> Shared Hosting <<<

Shared hosting is very popular today because of its cheap price. Shared hosting service allows various customers to use/ share the same resources of one single server.

Users can share the costs depending upon the space & bandwidth, so the price becomes low.

A few disadvantages of shared hosting:

• Slow Server Response Time due to load of different sites using common server.
• Server breaks down on a regularly basis.
• As shared hosting stands on a single IP and if any other site on the same server are being blacklisted or blocked, your site will also be blocked just becuase sharing a common IP.

>>> Virtual Private Server Hosting <<<

On the other hand VPS allows amplified security. Though it is still considered as shared hosting. On VPS, you’re also sharing same resources on the same server. VPS also allows multiple customers to share one server with an increase and extremely high level of privacy & security. VPS accounts are protected, as a result minimizing the risks of illegal access. Each hosted account has its own private mail server. This allows a user to organize his own antispam standards as he like to have. Also VPS allows configuring personal firewall which is not possible in shared hosting. As a whole, VPS can be said as a low cost replacement of Dedicated Server.

>>> Dedicated Server Hosting <<<

Dedicated server hosting gives you the liberty control and configure your own server. On dedicated server all resources will be used by only you with personal firewall, so naturally price is high. There is no limit on bandwidth and servers are very secured. So, if you have a big site with huge numbers of users & daily hits you must go with dedicated servers.
