4 Of the Most Popular Hosting Solutions
Small to Medium Sized Sites
Host One Site With One Account
A shared hosting plan will be the best option for a smallish blog or website. With this option you won't forsake any features or functionality that you'll need to have a professional online presence.
Multiple Sites
Host Many Sites With One Account
Instead of having multiple accounts, the Reseller Hosting option would be best for you. This will allow you to host unlimited domains which can be yours or your clients so it also offers a good hosting business opportunity.
Virual Private Server
Single Site With More Protection
Virtual Private Servers share one physical server but act like multiple, separate servers which makes this option a step up from shared hosting.
A big benefit of VPS is that it insulates your site from being affected by other sites on a shared server.
Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated Hosting Offers Full Control
Dedicated Hosting is ideal for a high traffic website that needs the security of not being affected by other sites on a shared server.
This option is the Rolls Royce of hosting as you'll have an entire server reserved just for your website.

Shared Hosting vs Reseller Hosting
Let’s take a look at whether shared hosting or reseller hosting would be your best option.If you have just one small to medium sized site that you need to get hosted on the net, then a shared hosting plan is probably all you need.
Furthermore, don’t be fooled by the ridiculously low cost of a shared hosting plan as it will come packed with great features including WordPress functionality, massive disc space & bandwidth, pre-installed apps, reliability and awesome support.
However, if you want to host an unlimited amount of sites (domains), then a reseller account would probably suit you. These often come with all the features & apps that you’ll need as well as unlimited disc space & bandwidth.
If you have a large site that requires its own server, then VPS or the dedicated hosting option is what you’ll need.
VPS vs Dedicated Hosting
While using a VPS (Virtual Private Server) is similar to having a shared hosting package, in that multiple websites share all the resources on a single server, it is a step up from having a shared hosting account as it isolates your site from all the others on the same server.
However, the difference between VPS hosting & having a dedicated server are the restrictions placed on who can use the resources.
This means that your site won’t be impacted by other sites on the server causing problems and/or slowing down your site which we all know is not a good thing. Having a fast loading site is one of the most important things your hosting plan should provide.
Therfore, VPS hosting works on a virtual shared server, where you host your website on a server hosting other sites, whilst the dedicated hosting option provides you with your own server free of any other sites that may impact negatively on yours.
First, there is very little need for small to medium-sized business to invoke the full scale of resources available on state-of-the-art bare metal servers. If a company does not need all of these resources, there is no need to purchase a system that is entirely out of scope. Growing companies with a steady stream of web traffic may find all of the power they need in a VPS environment.
Pricing
The dedicated hosting option will be more costly than the VPS option as you’ll have the cost of a whole server to bear, while the latter option shares server costs with all the clients using and having access to all the features & performance of the server.
VPS vs Dedicated Hosting: Which Is Right For Your Site?
If your website is a small to medium sized site, then there’s no reason to go the full hog and employ the services of a dedicated hosting option.
Even with a steadily growing website in terms of size & traffic, you’ll have all the features, support & resources you need in a shared or VPS hosting environment
