Introduction

Hosting in simple terms is renting a space on a server. You can upload website files or an application to this space. A server is nothing more than a large computer connected to the internet. The hosting provider is responsible for the maintenance of the server. 

Types of hosting

There are various forms of web hosting. Every website is different in design, size, technical requirements, and number of visitors. Therefore, Versio offers multiple types of hosting. We'll take a look at the main features of each below.

1. Shared hosting

Shared hosting is the most common form of web hosting. In other words, you share a server with other users. Through shared hosting, the capacity of a server is spread over multiple accounts. This form of hosting is best suited for smaller websites with limited bandwidth. Price is probably the biggest advantage, since shared hosting is one of the more inexpensive forms of web hosting. You have a choice between different packages, and, if necessary, you can expand these later. In the past, sharing a server occasionally caused problems due to crowds. However, we have found suitable solutions for this.

2. Reseller hosting

Reseller hosting offers you the opportunity to create multiple database users. For example, it's now possible to resell web hosting to others. This type is ideal for freelancers, web designers, and marketing agencies. You manage the data of yourself and your customers. However, you can also host multiple websites yourself.

A reseller package offers more control and is 100% white label. Your customers won't find any reference to Versio. This type of hosting is suitable for both small and large companies. Here too, the hosting provider is responsible for maintaining and updating the server.

3. VPS hosting

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. One way to explain this is to compare the server with an apartment building, divided into units. Each VPS has its own access and is independent. You have your own "apartment" at your disposal, where you can do whatever you want.

This solution is ideal for larger websites with lots of visitors, but also if you have specific technical requirements or want to host customers yourself. If you're going to use particular software, like Ubuntu, CentOS, or Magento, for example, VPS hosting suits your needs. With a VPS, any traffic from other websites won't bother you. You do not have to share a VPS with anyone, and you can decide for yourself how you want to set up your server. But, this also means you're responsible for managing, updating, and protecting the VPS. In short, with a VPS, you enjoy complete freedom.

4. WordPress hosting

This type of web hosting is specially optimized for WordPress. WordPress can be used on all types of web hosting, but with this form of hosting you are ensured that the server fits perfectly. WordPress is a CMS, a content management system. The biggest advantage of this CMS is that there are a lot of plugins available. This allows you to easily convert your website into a webshop. Therefore, WordPress hosting is ideal if you want to start a webshop. These plugins can sometimes slow down your website. Fortunately, this server is optimized specially for WordPress, so you can be sure that your website has the fastest speed.
