Due to the diverse we demands for websites from different individuals and businesses all over the world, one needs to choose the type of "virtual hosting" that they would like to host their site on. The requirements for websites are usually related to storage capacity and processing power required to handle the volume of traffic that flows through your site. Your website could be hosted on one server or distribute it across several servers.



Each has its pros and drawbacks.



Virtual private servers (VPS) is the process of partitioning a physical server into multiple servers, each of which has the capability to function as an independent server with its own operating system and independent reboot capabilities. Hosting on these servers allows users to purchase hosting plans that limit the number of resources used each month. These plans can be utilized by anyone with a basic understanding. They are designed to meet the needs of a broad range of users, both personal and business. This kind of hosting utilizes one server that consumes lots of energy and is available only to web site developers based on their requirements. If you expect to have a lot of traffic this kind of server can be quite expensive for hosting your site.

This kind of hosting is getting old and giving way to a new more efficient method of hosting;



Cloud hosting is a scalable and dynamic type of hosting, where virtualized resources are provided as a service via the internet using servers. This hosting on a "cloud" of servers has become very popular with large internet companies since they no longer need to worry about the performance of their hardware and they can concentrate more on content creation to bring in more users. The increasing traffic is easily handled by the vast cloud of resources that are provided by the virtual servers networked. This hosting is flexible when it comes to cost since you only pay for the resources you use, and is the best choice for those who's usage is more, and also allows for rapid expansion.
