The aim of this presentation is to equip you with information on the different types of web servers, so that you know how each web server differs from the other. The information provided here will make it easy for you to choose the type of web server that you would like to opt for hosting your website.
Hosting Services • Hosting services or web hosting services refer to solutions that enable seamless access to websites by site visitors. These services are provided by web hosting companies and need to be availed for keeping websites up and running and available online. Web hosting services can be availed as web hosting plans which offer server space for hosting websites, along with various web hosting features. All the technologies and the services that are needed for keeping websites accessible over the Internet are provided through web hosting services.
Web Servers • Web servers host websites. Space on any web server can be availed by availing web hosting plans. A web server is a type of server that stores and processes the files of the hosted site/sites.

Shared Servers A Shared Web Server, which is referred to as a Shared Server, hosts multiple websites on a single web server. It stores and processes the files of multiple websites that are hosted on the same web server. Hence, it is able to offer shared server resources, shared server space, and a shared IP address to every site. In short, the sites hosted on the same web server will share a common IP address and will share server resources as well as web server space. Server customization is not possible on a Shared Server, as multiple sites are hosted on a single web server. • Benefit- Shared Servers offer the most economical web hosting solution, due to the shared server environment. • Disadvantages - Issues are encountered with regard to site speed, site performance and site security, owing to the sharing of server resources and server space among multiple websites. Server customization isn’t possible with Shared Servers and dedicated IP addresses cannot be availed.
Dedicated Servers • A Dedicated Web Server or a Dedicated Server hosts a single website on a single web server. It is able to offer its total server resources for full utilization by the hosted website. This results in powerful site performance and extremely fast page loading speed, which are the main reasons for the popularity of Dedicated Servers. Moreover, the security of the hosted site gets augmented as the web server space of a Dedicated Server is unshared and belongs exclusively to a single hosted site. Server customization is possible in a Dedicated Server, as the entire web server belongs to a single client, who can customize it as per his/her requirement. • Benefits – Dedicated Servers can be customized. These servers offer Dedicated server space, dedicated server resources and dedicated IP address to every hosted site. • Disadvantage – There isn’t any disadvantage when it comes to using a Dedicated Server. The only flip side might be that Dedicated Serves are somewhat expensive to avail.
Virtual Private Servers (VPS) Virtual Private Servers, which are referred to as VPS are of two types, Managed VPS and Self-managed VPS. A Managed VPS is a web server (VPS) that is managed by the service provider, whereas a Self-managed VPS is a web server that is managed by the user of the VPS and not the service provider. A Virtual Private Server hosts many websites on a single physical web server that has been virtually segmented into several, independent, isolated, private, virtual servers. By utilizing Virtualization Technology, a VPS is able to offer dedicated server resources, dedicated server space, a dedicated IP address and server customization to each of the hosted sites. • Benefits - A Virtual Private Server offers the same benefits as a Dedicated Server, such as server customization, dedicated server resources, dedicated IP address and dedicated server space but at a lower price. Moreover, it offers choice between a Managed VPS and a Self-managed VPS. • Disadvantages– There are no disadvantages as such of using a Virtual Private Server.
