What do you mean by normal hosting?

The difference is that with normal shared hosting you are buying web space on a server. You can't install your own software and you have lower limits for your website. This is fine if you're just running a website that doesn't have huge amounts of traffic and don't need custom software. It's a lot cheaper to use shared hosting for most websites and a lot easier to use since you'll usually have access to a control panel such as cPanel.

If you have a VPS then you can install anything you wish however unless you have a managed VPS you're left to install everything yourself. This means purchasing your own licenses for cPanel, DirectAdmin etc and then installing everything and keeping it secure. The benefit is that although it's still a shared service you'll have your own slice of the servers CPU, RAM etc and have a lot more control over everything.

Advantage of VPS hosting

Be it managed VPS hosting or any other normal VPS hosting the advantage is the same. Let us have a quick look at some of the top advantages.

1. Root access: VPS hosting is a bridge between dedicated and shared hosting as it includes features of both. With VPS hosting the server is isolated from other servers. You have complete root access to manage your server and its resources.

2. Security: VPS hosting is always isolated like dedicated hosting, it provides top-notch security to the website. The entire website indeed shares the same physical server, as the IP address is dedicated to the individual server.

3. Performance: VPS hosting comes with HDD and SSD hard drive, however, every business owner opts for SSD VPS hosting as its benefits outweigh that of HDD, and also SSD VPS hosting improves the website loading speed and also improves the performance of the website.

Core differences

Managed VPS Hosting

• Server maintenance and up-gradation is taken care of by hosting provider.

• It is slightly expensive cost wise but it is always the best choice for the beginners.

Unmanaged VPS hosting

• Your hosting provider will only take care of maintaining the physical server.

• Cheaper compared to managed VPS hosting.

Hello,

VPS is nothing but Virtual Private Server, where you will get dedicated resources like RAM, Disk Space and IP. Here you will get full root/administration access to the server.
If you go with shared Hosting these resources are shared between multiple sites along with network. In Shared Hosting you will get free control panel.
VPS is bridge between Dedicated Server Hosting and Shared Hosting.

If you are beginner then shared hosting is best for you.
If you server management or you are growing company continuously you can get VPS services.

If you need a simple website with low daily traffic, then a regular hosting is enough for this.

Hey,

Which type of web hosting is required for your website, it totally depends on your hosting resources requirements and budget. If you are looking to host a simple website or blog then shared or normal would bet the right choice for you.
For high traffic and eCommerce type of websites, VPS hosting is the recommended hosting service. It comes with a lot of good features and secured hosting environment.
So, you decide which hosting service you require.
