DeployHQ has always been about simplifying the deployment process, no matter where your code ends up. Let's explore the four primary types of hosting and understand why DeployHQ is the perfect companion for all of them.
The Four Types of Hosting
- Shared Hosting: This is the most common type, where multiple websites share a single server. It's ideal for small to medium-sized websites with low traffic. Some examples are WPEngine, Cloudways, Hostinger and many more. You can find more details here.
- VPS (Virtual Private Server): Here, you get a dedicated portion of a server, giving you more control over your environment. It's suitable for growing websites with increasing traffic. Some examples are Amazon EC2 or LightSail, OVH, Vultr or Hetzner and many more. You can find more details here.
- Dedicated Server: This is a physical server exclusively for your use, offering maximum control and resources. It's for high-traffic websites and demanding applications.
- Cloud Hosting: This involves distributing your website across multiple servers, ensuring high availability and scalability. It's suitable for websites with unpredictable traffic patterns.
