 Website Hosting Types and Definitions

Web hosting

Web hosting is referred to as providing storage space for websites, and delivering content stored on the server when requested by Internet users. A web hosting provider, also known as the web host, is also responsible for providing server space for databases, email services, and  publishing a website. No website can exist without a web host.

Dedicated hosting?

Dedicated hosting is an unmanaged hosting service provided to one client on a dedicated server by a web host, a server is leased to one client and custom configured for their specific application that they must manage themselves.

Managed hosting?

Managed hosting refers to dedicated hosting with fully managed service provided by the service provider. The provider not only takes full control over your server, but also supports hardware, software, maintenance, security, monitoring and backup services.

Vps hosting?

A virtual private server (VPS)  provides hosting by partitioning a physical server into multiple logical servers, so that each virtual server operates independently of each other for different hosted websites. VPS hosting works very much like dedicated hosting, except that physical hardware is being partitioned into a finite set of resources and assigned to individual virtual servers.

Ecommerce hosting?

Ecommerce hosting is a hosting plan that allows a client to create an online store. The hosting plan should  provide a static IP address needed for SSL installation, database storage, shopping cart software, merchant services and gateway services for secure online credit card transactions.
