What Are the Different Types of Web Hosting Products DreamHost Offers?
DreamHost offers several types of hosting plans that are suitable for all website hosting needs.
Shared hosting:
Shared hosting is the cheapest option, but it has its limitations. Shared hosting clients share server resources with other clients. The server itself is receiving a lot of traffic or using a lot of the server's limited resources, which can cause your site to run slower.
While DreamHost works hard to ensure that all sites on a shared server never interfere with other sites, due to the nature of the product, it can always be. For this reason, if you are expecting high traffic on your website, we recommend that you look at our top performing options.
What can I take in a shared hostinng?
Shared hosting is perfect. for blogs, portfolios, personal / business websites, and data-driven websites.
WordPress Hosting (DreamPress)
DreamPress is the managed WordPress hosting from DreamHost. It's a scalable service that enables users to worry-free manage their WordPress sites through automatic updates, caching, daily backups, and a content delivery network (CDN).
VPS
DreamHost Virtual Private Server Hosting (VPS) is a premium solution that runs faster than our shared hosting. It's available as an addition to an existing DreamHost plan, but also as a standalone service. DreamHost VPS uses LinuxVServer to create a "virtual machine" that protects user resources from others on the same physical machine, allowing for a more powerful solution.
Shared vs.VPS hosting
On a shared server, resources are shared by other users. On a VPS, these resources are more isolated, which improves performance and helps maintain stability. You also have the option to control the amount of RAM your server uses. A virtual private server is ideal for websites that require more resources than a shared server can provide, but may not require the full power of a dedicated server. VPS is great for businesses, ecommerce websites, designers, and developers who don't need a handicap.
Dedicated
VPS A dedicated server is a server that contains only your files.It also gets full access to the root: an important advantage if you want to customize your server to customize your specific requirements. Please note that DreamHost support cannot assist if any errors occur as a result of a customization.
Another benefit of a dedicated server is that your MySQL server is on the same server, allowing for faster access. With all other hosting plans your MySQL database is on a separate database server.
What can I host on a Dedicated server?
Dedicated servers are fully-managed, business class servers. They are perfect for resource-heavy apps and giant websites.
