Web hosting is the main service that allow
users and clients to have different websites and online platforms, providing
these with hardware and software to host content and other resources such
websites use to function properly, through computing units known as server with
great capacity and performance. Due to its complexity, web hosting has
different types from which one of the most popular is the shared web hosting,
for its characteristics and other subtypes.
Since, web hosting as a general service and
instrument is usually related with high costs and expensive plans, but these
are frequently connected to dedicated web hosting as the service that provide
proper and unique servers for one client, hosting their websites that take
advantage of all the hardware resources at a great price. Well, not all businesses have that possibility
and this is where shared web hosting and its subtypes come to the table.
Traditional or classic shared
web hosting
To begin with, traditional or classic
shared web hosting is the first of its kind in dividing or separating hardware
resources from a server into several accounts and websites, which all function at the same time and
take use in CPU core clock, RAM memory and disk space to answer the
requests arriving to the server.
In traditional shared web hosting resources
division is implied and it is not equal, but sometimes scalable or sometimes
set depending on the many websites hosted. In this way, the use of resources
and possible overuse and consequences affect all accounts involved in the
servers, in terms of unstable behavior due to requests that surpass the
capacity of the server. Because of this characteristics, classic shared web
hosting is cheap and websites hosted divide costs.
Virtual shared web hosting
On the other hand,
virtual shared web hosting is the type of service quite similar to the classic
shared solution but with one key difference: the use of virtualization platforms and other technologies to divide
resources properly, in a more organized way and totally equal.
For example, with virtual shared web
hosting might be one hundred virtual machines on a server with an account and a
website, along with CMS and other management resources, each one of them being
independent and with previously established hardware resources that are not
shared at that point.
So, in case of unstable situation or any
other event affecting an account, such incidental does not affect the others,
since virtualization makes possible for accounts to be almost like in dedicated
servers or at least bring some of the related benefits.
