Hey guys, this is Anna from 10Web, a managed WordPress Hosting powered by Google cloud.
In this video, we are going to discuss the four main types of WordPress hosting – dedicated,
VPS, shared, and managed hosting. And we will try to understand which one is best for your
website. Also, I will include links to the certain
products of the video. So if you are interested more in the different products of the video,
you may do that by clicking on the timestamp in the description below. Now let’s get
started! The first type of hosting that we’ll be discussing is shared hosting.
Shared Hosting is basically the communism of hostings. You and a bunch of websites – because
there are so many out there – are going to share a single space which in this case
will be a server. And the thing is with shared hostings that you don’t have any idea what
kinds of websites sharing space, this can be a pet barbershop in Utah, or a poetry slam
website. And each of these websites has certain limitations on their storage, and traffic
set by the host, which in our case will be the landlord of this commune. Now let’s talk
about the advantages of shared hosting. Shared hosting is very cheap, which is a huge advantage
for the newcomers to website ownership and management. It can cost you from $3 to $12
per month to host your website on a shared hosting platform. Another major advantage
for newcomers is the fact that a lot of technical aspects of maintaining your website is covered
by the shared hosting platform. However, you should keep in mind that there are lots of
websites that they need to take care of and maintain so this might not be the best type
of website maintenance that you will receive. This is why if you’re going to pick shared
hosting, you better be sure that you can trust this shared hosting company. Now let’s move
on to the disadvantages of shared hostings. Signing up for a shared hosting platform,
you may encounter the following problems. So one of the main disadvantages is that your
website is going to be very slow in case you hosted with shared hostings. And it is going
to be a lot slower than dedicated hosting providers or managed hosting. And this is
not only bad because you will lose a lot of potential users coming to your website, and
getting tired of it loading very slowly and then leaving, but it is also very bad because
you will have lower chances of ranking high on Google. And ranking high on Google is essential
because you want to have more traffic and through grow your business through that traffic.
Problem 2. Remember we discussed that you will be sharing your server with a bunch of
other websites? Well the problem with this is that if one of the websites that sharing
the space with is getting hacked, your website will be compromised as well. Share a server,
share an issue, right? Problem 3. Because you’re sharing space with other
websites, and one of the websites suddenly gets a huge amount of traffic coming to their
website, your website might be compromised by this. Because its performance might become
slower or even it can become unavailable. Also, even if your website is getting more
traffic, your website performance may still not be perfect. And the Problem 4. is the
distinct lack of scalability. So You’re basically stuck with whatever resources your
hosting platform gives you and if you want to have more resources, you simply need to
upgrade. There is no scalability or elasticity options for you. So who should choose shared
hosting? I’m tempted to say no one, since it's the 21st century and we have other accessible
options, I don’t think anyone should go with shared hosting.However, if you are an
absolute beginner and don’t need a lot of resources, and a great amount of performance,
then you might wanna start with shared hosting, because later on you are still going to wise
up and change your hosting platform. Now Let’s move on to the second type of hosting, which
is VPS, short for Virtual Private Server !It is something in between shared and dedicated
hostings. And let me explain to you how it works. So you basically have your very own
server, which is isolated and placed within a bigger server. So all the websites you share
space with they are going to have their separate servers isolated and placed within a big server.
You see how this is a bit like shared hosting? However, it’s also quite a bit like dedicated
hosting because you do have this sense of responsibility and illusion of having your
own server. However, it is still different. These are all the advantages of VPS: Number
1: You have root access and way more options of customization in both hardware and software.Second,
VPS offers you better security than shared hosting: meaning the performance of other
websites that you are sharing the space with are no longer a concern of yours. Next VPS
typically costs less than dedicated hosting. So per month you would basically pay about
30 to 40 dollars for VPS hosting. In all technical aspects, including website performance, a
VPS is a lot better than shared hosting. Now let’s move on to the disadvantages of a
VPS: So the first disadvantage is that you will
need more technical knowledge if you are going to choose VPS. If you are not a tech-savvy
or you aren’t willing to learn any technical aspects of maintaining, running a website,
then VPS is certainly not for you. Number 2 even though you’re largely isolated from
your neighboring sites, you’re still not 100% protected from whatever’s happening
in the server that may have an impact on your website. And,finally, of course, you do get
some sort of responsibility and ownership of your server. However, this flexibility
is not close to what you would get with dedicated hosting. The third type of hosting that we’re
going to discuss today is dedicated hosting. So, what’s dedicated hosting? It kinds of lives
up to its name. It is a hosting/ it is a server dedicated to one owner “One server – one
owner” is the rule. Here you get more freedom and responsibility
over your server: however maintaining and setting up the server is not an easy task.
If you’re a major tech nerd, developer, or a business owner who has a whole IT team
dedicated to that task then you would be fine. There are plenty of advantages to dedicated
hosting: Firstly, if you switch from shared hosting
or VPS to dedicated hosting your website performance will improve a lot , and Google and your visitors
will highly appreciate that. Second you get so many choices: Linux or Windows? What software
to use? If you know a thing or two about tech, it’s always nice to decide. And of course,
those shared hosting worries about other websites' security, messing up your website security
or speed will be long gone. As great as an unmanaged hosting is, there are a couple of
disadvantages: For example, believe it or not, there is a
lot of server maintenance and setting up that you will need to do, most people could not
have cared less about this. And setting up and maintaining the server is a lot! There
are the backups, performances, software, etc, etc. and most business owners prefer to focus
on growing their business and growing their traffic rather than focusing on maintaining
and setting up the server. Here comes the biggest disadvantage: Dedicated
hostings are surely more expensive than both shared and VPS. Usually, it’s around 150
or 250 dollars a month. Plus, if you ever mess up and need help, the hosting provider
will also charge you for that. Pretty hefty, no?
So, dedicated hosting is perfect for big business owners who have their separate IT departments,
and want everything done exactly they want and don’t care even for the cost.
And the last type of hosting is Managed WP hosting.
Managed hosting is when all your worries about all your server and website maintenance – just
poof, vanish.
It’s like having your own IT staff but for a dismal fee: speed, security, it’s all
taken care of by the host. And on top of that, you have your very own isolated environment,
meaning you get all the advantages that you would get with the dedicated hosting with
none of the disadvantages. You may be wondering, “What about the cost?”
and that is true. Before managed WP hostings would cost you more than dedicated hostings
but now – and this one’s a secret for most of the world – you can get managed
hosting at the price of shared hosting.Meet 10Web, the perfect managed WordPress hosting
platform powered by Google Cloud. 10Web will cost you only $10 per month and
usually on average managed hosting costs start at $30 a month. And you would definitely not
be able to find a great managed WordPress Hosting platform with the price of $10 per
month. Because if you pay $30 per month, you will also have to pay additional amounts for
the rest of plugins and services, and you would need to pay an extra amount for building
your website. However, $10 per month includes all of the plugins, the services, website
building tools, and widgets, and everything else that you will need for creating and maintaining
your website. So basically $10 per month for everything that your website might need. But
we’re rushing ahead. Here are main advantages of managed hosting and 10Web are:
