Reliability, Security, Consistency
To set up a website over the World Wide Web the most important aspect is to acquire a suitable domain name and web hosting service. Domain name is a web address using which people can access your website on the World Wide Web. Every person has a physical address so in order to set up your online presence domain name is required. A domain name must be closely related to your interest for instance your business name is ‘example’, the suitable domain name is www.example.com. So every website needs a domain name and after finalizing it, the next phase is to acquire appropriate web hosting services.
What is Web Hosting?
Once the website is ready after completing the design and development phase, the next step is to publish it online so that people can access it. There are numerous different types of web hosting services available prominently including Shared Web Hosting, Virtual Private Server (VPS) and Dedicated Server Hosting.
Shared Web Hosting Server

It is considered less secure for complex business websites such as ecommerce website as numerous users have to share server resources. As it’s a shared hosting server so it is also the cheapest web hosting plan as well.
VPS Hosting
Virtual Private Server (VPS) is considered the most suitable hosting server for business websites. A virtual server space with the help of software and all virtual servers share a single physical server. It is not similar to shared server because in VPS hosting each user has its own dedicated server space. The user can define his own settings according to the requirements which make it more secure than shared hosting server. As every user has more control over the server, this makes it more expensive than a shared hosting server, but if you are planning to host a business website then VPS hosting is perfect.
Dedicated Server Hosting
Dedicated hosting is the most expensive hosting server, it’s a big server which offers unlimited server space and bandwidth. In dedicated hosting one doesn’t have to share any server resources.

Dedicated hosting is the most secure hosting plan, but at the same time is the most expensive hosting plan as well.
