welcome back in this video we are going
to talk about different types of web
hosts there are quite a few different
types of web hosts but for the scope of
this tutorial
we'll be discussing the most common five
types free hosting is a good choice when
you want to make websites for fun
however these services you get is fairly
limited compared to paid hosting often
in a free hosting environment speed is
slow there is no guaranteed uptime and
there are advertisements added to your
website some companies will offer you a
free subdomain under them while others
may require you to have a domain already
before you receive their services
in a shared hosting environment you are
sharing the server with other website
owners shared hosting is recommended for
new websites or beginners as it's the
most economical
there are however downsides to shared
hosting because you are sharing hardware
/ software and bandwidth of a server
with other websites the speed will be
slower and at times unpredictable
VPS stands for virtual private server in
a nutshell VPS hosting is an advanced
variation of shared hosting essentially
you still share a physical server with
other websites but that physical server
is partitioned into multiple virtual
servers that gets a reserved amount of
CPU power and RAM unlike traditional
shared hosting VPS websites do not
compete with each other what that means
is if there is a large amount of traffic
going into a VPS website that shares the
same physical server with you your
website will not be affected
in a dedicated hosting environment you
have the entire web server to yourself
you do not share with any other users
dedicated servers are recommended if
your website gets a lot of traffic if
your website is resource intensive if
you need better security or if you
simply want more options available to
you the downside of this option is the
cost because the server cost is not
shared between different website owners
you will be responsible for the cost of
running these servers
companies who provide managed WordPress
hosting specialize in hosting WordPress
websites their servers are configured

environment for WordPress websites the
sites hosting these companies bring to
the table many benefits speed security

you do run into any trouble you know you
are in good hands
managed WordPress hosting however can be
the most expensive option so it may not
be for everyone
if you're someone that wants to build a
website purely for fun and is not
concerned about speed downtime
advertisements and the subdomain then
free hosting could work for you some

you then VPS hosting would be a good fit

traffic websites ecommerce sites and
