Different Types of Hosting Services

Home » Help » Hosting » Different Types of Hosting Services

As web hosting technology advances, so do the requirements of people who need such services.

This is why, web hosting companies provide different types of plans and other services, such as domain registration, so they can answer the needs of the demanding market.

It can become hard to choose the most fitting hosting plan for your needs, so we can help you make the right decision when searching for the right web hosting service for your needs.

 

Free Web Hosting

The free hosting plan is the perfect solution for beginners and users who would want to try out the services of a given web hosting provider.

Such a service grants you everything you would need to start your first website project and gradually gain more experience in managing your website and hosting profile.

AwardSpace’s forever free hosting plan comes without hidden fees and terms, so you can launch your website project confidently and without worrying about any obligations and mandatory upgrades – there are none.

 

Shared Web Hosting

Shared web hosting is an affordable yet very reliable service that allows you to build large websites and attract a great number of site visitors without dealing with flaws or any limitations.

The name shared hosting derives from the fact that several hosting accounts store their websites on a single web server and this server shares its resources to power all hosted websites at once.

Shared web hosting is a very popular type of hosting service, as it blends the best of the two worlds – enhanced performance and affordable price.

Semi-Dedicated Web Hosting

Semi-dedicated web hosting is a special AwardSpace service.

This special service provides you with a great amount of computer power and yet retains the ease of use similar to that of shared hosting.

Also similar to shared web hosting, the semi-dedicated plan allows several hosting accounts to use a single server to store their websites.

However, the difference between the two services lies in the number of hosting accounts that can use a single server.

With shared hosting users that share a single web server can go up to hundreds, whereas with semi-dedicated hosting, users are limited to a dozen.

This approach frees up more server resources that are relocated to a fewer number of websites, which means more power and less technicality for you.

WordPress Hosting

WordPress hosting is a special type of hosting service. It is optimized to run WordPress-based websites and comes with the CMS pre-installed and ready for use.

The AwardSpace WordPress hosting provides lightning-fast speeds for your WordPress website and cutting-edge security features, so you can work confidently on your web pages and attract more site visitors without dealing with technical issues or any kind of malware attacks.

 

VPS Web Hosting

VPS, abbreviated for virtual private server is an advanced hosting service, embodying tons of power and versatility, but yet keeping pricing affordable.

With the AwardSpace VPS hosting, you benefit from using a single virtual web server that is fully dedicated to you. This means that all server resources are at your disposal, so you can unfold your ambitious website project without dealing with any technical issues, regardless of how big and resource-demanding your website is, or how much traffic you generate to your pages.

With VPS hosting you also have root access to your virtual server and can modify and fine-tune even the smallest details.
