What is web hosting? How it works?
After domain registration and web design, web hosting is the next step to proceed. You have a computer at home and some files in it. These files are yours, only you can access it. But when you own a domain you have to let others to visit and view the contents. Only then you can run your online business. This can only be done by hosting your website contents to a remote computer which is far from you. And the place where the computers ie the servers(web servers) located is called Data Centres. So Data centers provide physical infrastructure whereas Hosting providers make use of the resources from them. Here is an example to help you understand better about web hosting. There are three major hosting categories. They are Shared hosting, VPS(Virtual Private Server) hosting and Dedicated server hosting. To better understand these services, here is an example.

When renting charges is affordable, there is no need to share the rent. You will be the only person to pay the rent and the benefits you enjoy is more. This is same as getting a VPS hosting. And finally when you can buy a house for your own, then this is called Dedicated server hosting. When you own a house ie get a Dedicated server hosting, the freedom and power is endless. Read on....
As we all know a computer or a server has many hardware devices in it. It has hard disks, ram and cpu. So, in shared hosting a single server's hard disk space, ram space and cpu speed are shared across the websites hosted in it. You may be an individual, small business owner or a startup company, shared hosting is the best choice. It is cheap, affordable and unmanaged. Ofcourse you have to compromise with website loading speed and bandwidth. But overall assumption is that shared hosting is great choice for beginners. It is user friendly and you need not be tech expert.
VPS(Virtual Private Server) hosting enjoys the benefits of shared hosting and dedicated hosting. It is one step ahead of Shared hosting and one step behind of dedicated hosting. Yes instead sharing the same resources of hard disk, ram and cpu, You will be provided with separate hard disk space, ram space and cpu speed. But on the same physical server. Thus offering more control and customization options. The charges are a bit higher compared to shared hosting.
Finally we are on the top of the hill. Yes, dedicated hosting is completely taking control of the whole website handling. You will be provided with a physical server, where you will be the owner of almost all the resources like hard disk space, ram space and cpu speed. The bandwith you get is also higher.
