They should not even think about launching their website without planning out about the hosting service for their baby website. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To keep your website sustaining in this technologically competitive era, you need a good and suitable web host provider. But there are so many hosting providers available in the market that selecting one of them can be so confusing. Not only different web hosting providers are confusing, but multiple kinds of hosting types are also becoming a big dilemma.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But this confusion dangles between cloud and shared hosting when the website relates to a small business or is a startup. The decision although depends on the very two important factors i.e. the number of resources and variant features required. But everyone needs a detailed study before jumping into any conclusion. Going through a detailed comparison between the two will help in selecting one rationally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_64 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/friendsoftoms.org\/difference-between-cloud-hosting-and-shared-hosting\/#What_is_cloud_hosting\" title=\"What is cloud hosting?\">What is cloud hosting?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/friendsoftoms.org\/difference-between-cloud-hosting-and-shared-hosting\/#What_is_shared_hosting\" title=\"What is shared hosting?\">What is shared hosting?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_cloud_hosting\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is cloud hosting?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On a <\/span><strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/go4hosting.com\/cloud-hosting-services.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cloud hosting<\/a><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> platform, there is not a set pre-defined set of hardware. Power is derived from a dynamically allocated resource system but these dynamic resources are placed across a widely spread network of physical components. It is managed through a cloud computing platform that is run over the internet. There will be other websites as well using the same power and resources but no physical connection is assured. A whole new level of stability and security is delivered but the fear of the effect of overload is dealt for a lifetime. This is so because the network of cloud servers is so uniquely designed that if one server goes down due to overload then another one instantly takes over. Such a level of scalability and reliability can only be assured by a cloud hosting provider. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_shared_hosting\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is shared hosting?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As the name suggests, multiple websites are hosted over a shared hosting platform. Starting from the bandwidth to storage, all the resources will be shared among all the websites being hosted on a shared host. It is obvious then that there would be a limit on the resources utilized by a specific website. This limit is decided and finalized by the hosting platform according to the shared hosting package. All the websites that are been hosted over a shared hosting server share the same amount of resources individually and have the same level of access. Shared hosting got popular as it is so affordable and helps so many websites to grow together been hosted on the same platform. Although shared hosting is one of the most prevailing types of hosting but it has its own set of disadvantages.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now you have got to know the definition part of both so let\u2019s get into the comparison part.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-174\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsoftoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shared-hosting.png\" alt=\"shared hosting\" width=\"800\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsoftoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shared-hosting.png 800w, https:\/\/friendsoftoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shared-hosting-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/friendsoftoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shared-hosting-768x427.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First of all, before choosing any one of both you should be clear about the type of customers that will refer to your website. Also, make a plan about the times at which traffic might spike exponentially as such instances will appear unannounced. There is a set of websites that should never opt for shared hosting service as a shared host will not be able to hold the traffic running in. This might lead to an unmetered loss and people might start losing interest and trust in your website like forever. To avoid situations like these, cloud hosting comes into rescue. Irrespective of the demands of other websites that are hosted with yours, it will take care of your sudden requirements too. It will allocate the extra resources available so that you don\u2019t lose onto even a single customer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-175 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsoftoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/cloud-vs.-shared.png\" alt=\"cloud vs. shared\" width=\"638\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsoftoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/cloud-vs.-shared.png 638w, https:\/\/friendsoftoms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/cloud-vs.-shared-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Secondly, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/friendsoftoms.org\/how-to-design-the-website-for-e-commerce-website-introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">websites<\/a><\/strong> that house intensive applications, as it demands focused attention on the processing power and other resources as well. Resources that have been pulled into different directions will lead to the failure of your applications. Also, you would not want to struggle for the resources on a daily basis and your website won\u2019t be able to run without them. Once your website is hosted over a shared platform, you have to get ready to experience service delays, and if not this then inconsistency performance is inevitable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One thing is for sure if you fine-tune yourself with such delays in service, your user would not and will switch to some other application in no time. You will end up not achieving the desired set of deals and sales that you would have easily achieved through an appropriate cloud hosting provider\u2019s service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When on a cloud hosting platform, everything is managed from a central control panel, and applications are updated very frequently. The resources have been scaled as and when required and stellar performance is guaranteed. Hence, being the owner, the sole responsibility lies over you to choose the right host for your website.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When someone thinks of launching a new website project then they would want that nothing goes wrong with it.
