Generally a new comer who doesn’t have any experience of web hosting, for him/her it is very challenging to choose a good web-hosting plan. The biggest problem on his/her way is that he/she is not familiar with the terminologies of the web hosting as well as not with the concerned factors.

It is mandatory for a new comer to have the basic knowledge of web hosting if he/she wants to make worthy decisions. In this article we will discuss about three different types of web hosting and their differences. Web hosting is of three types such as shared web hosting, dedicated web hosting and virtual web hosting. All of these web hosting are different on the basis of price as well as the requirements.

Shared web hosting:

In case of Shared web hosting company use to put the websites of different users on one server. Some limit to the amount of resources is provided to each and every user that his/her site is able to consume. When several sites on the same server get busy or a script on one site consumes extra resources the server can bog down, leaving the site slow or down.

There are many shared hosting plans that are available at very reasonable price. If one gets a good hosting company he/she may be able to avoid having his/her site bogged down, as due to having too many users on one server. Many shared plans are also available at the price less than the $10 a month as well as having the features and possibly even free domain registrations.

Dedicated web hosting:

Among the three web hosting services dedicated web hosting is the most expensive web hosting. In case of dedicated web hosting one does not require to share a server with other users where as he/she is going to use the entire server all alone. Usually, all of the resources of the server are available for the user only. Lots of times hosting companies offers the user different options for the type of server he/she can rent and the operating system it runs.

Dedicated servers are useful for the either bigger sites and also for the Webmaster that has 200 web sites and is fed up by paying for 200 shared hosting accounts. Shared or virtual web hosting are not able to manage such big accounts usually they can handle personal or small business sites only.

Virtual web hosting:

A virtual web hosting is the fusion of a shared web hosting account and a dedicated server. Software on the server is able to break it down into multiple "virtual" servers. In this case the effect is basically like having several servers on the same machine and one would be paying for one of these virtual servers.

Virtual servers allows the user the flexibility of modifying his/her server settings as if he/she was renting a dedicated server but since he/she is actually sharing a server with other users he/she used to pay very less. Virtual private server plans are quite expensive than the shared web hosting.

While searching for the hosting service, user should do as much research as possible so as to choose the best plan. There are numerous numbers of sites that are offering quality information about web hosting that will help one in clearing all his/her doubts and enable him/her to make the best decision.

There are several hosting plans, which seem to offer the world on a string for a quarter. That looks very nice in the beginning however thereafter the server gets terribly down due to hundreds of busy accounts on one server.

In the market there are several hosts that suites the requirement of the user. In the competitive market every thing is available if one wants resources then there are plenty available like bandwidth and storage space as per his/her requirement, if user needs features like PHP and/or ASP that is also available and same is for required price and level of support. So best of luck!!
