The major difference between web hosting or shared web hosting and dedicated hosting is the type of server hosting on which your website is stored. With web hosting, your website is hosted with other websites on a single server. In contrast, with dedicated hosting, you can have an entire physical server with all its resources for your website, business, and applications. Shared hosting is one of the most common and inexpensive types of web hosting and is a budget-friendly way for businesses and individuals to create a web presence.
