What is Web Hosting and Shared Hosting?

Web Hosting:

      Web hosting is a place where people store their websites. Think of it as a house where you store all your stuffs; but instead of storing your clothes and furniture's, you store computer files (HTML, documents, images, videos, etc.) in a web host. More often than not, the term "web hosting" refers to the company that rent out their computer / servers to store your website (hence the word, host) and providing Internet connectivity so that other computers can access to the files on your website.

     "Web Hosting" refers to the server that host your website or the hosting company that rent that server space to you; when we talk about data center, we mean the facility that is used to house the servers. A data center could be a room, a house, or a very large building equipped with redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and security devices.

        This is how a data center look like from inside, basically it's just a cold room filled with lots of big computers.

Shared Hosting:

         In shared hosting, one's web site is placed on the same server as many other sites, ranging from a few to hundreds or thousands. Typically, all domains may share a common pool of server resources, such as RAM and the CPU. As cost is extremely low, most websites with moderate traffic levels running standard software are hosted on this type of server. Shared hosting is also widely accepted as the entry level hosting option as it requires minimum technical knowledge.

 Virtual Private Server(VPS) Hosting:

        A virtual private server hosting divides a server into virtual servers, where each websites is like hosted on their own dedicated server, but they're actually sharing a server with a few different other users. The users may have root access to their own virtual space and better secured hosting environment with this type of hosting. Websites that need greater control at the server level, but don't want to invest in a dedicated server.

 Dedicated Server Hosting:

        A dedicated server offers the maximum control over the web server your website is stored on - You exclusively rent an entire sever. Your websites is the only website stored on the server.

Cloud Hosting:

        Cloud hosting offers unlimited ability to handle high traffic or traffic spikes. Here's how it works: A team of servers (called a cloud) work together to host a group of websites. This allows multiple computers to work together to handle high traffic levels or spikes for any particular website.
