Yes, Yes hold on I am still here to clear all your doubts! Takingyour business online needs a website of your company and a web hosting provider. Web hosting companies lease or sell you some server space and provides a domain name to your website.
The process of web hosting goes as follows…
You develop a website on a standalone system and all you need to do is make it available to people on the internet. The process by which you place these webpages on the internet is called web hosting. You buy some space from the web hosting service providers (MilesWeb, A2, etc.) according to the size, needs, and wants of your business. Byproviding the space, the hosting service providers give domain names for your website, which helps locate your website on WWW.
Getting into the details of web hosting we’ll see the types of web hosting and, who is the best web hosting service provider?
Following are the types of web hosting, which will also help you understand why and when you should use cheap VPS hosting and, from whom?
Reseller hosting:In reseller hosting, you be the one hosting others websites. You can buy or lease hugeserver space from big web hosting service providers and sell or give on lease that space, taking out your profit margin. It is one of the best ways to start your business as a web hosting service provider.
Dedicatedhosting:Dedicated hosting enables you to owe your own server. You are the only one utilizing all the resources of the server. This web hosting type is pretty much expensive as compared to other plans. It is beneficial for enterprise-level business websites or e-commerce websites.
Shared hosting: The name shared itself suggests that you will be sharing your website with hundreds and thousands of websites on the server. For a startup, it is the best web hosting plan you can opt for. At the beginning of the online business, you’ll be in the need of fewer resources to run your website, as well as the traffic rate would be lesser. Eventually, starting up with shared hosting is on no harm until and unless the traffic increases and you need furthermore resources for your website.
But what if traffic stops unexpectedly or you receive emails, phone calls, messages from the users/visitors of your website saying the website cannot be loaded? This may put you in a panic situation and make you call your web hosting service provider. There can be two probabilitiesfor the issue, one is issues at the end of the service provider, that you need not worry about and, second the traffic has dramatically increased on your website and, the resources available in your plan are not enough to deal with the increased traffic.
Now, you communicate with your hosting provider and get to know the issue is because of the second probability mentioned above, so you need more resources to manage your website.

Initially, we’ll see how managed and self-managed VPS hosting works with an example
VPS hosting: Like in shared web hosting the server spaces in VPS are divided into multiple compartments and are provided to the users, but the number of users is less. VPS web hosting works similar to the virtualized system in which one server runs various operating systems. With VPS, you can useyour chosen operating server. Virtualization in VPS is possible because of the term hypervisor. A hypervisor can be a software or hardware system that helps in creating and running virtual machines. This virtual machine separates the operating system and applications from physical hardware. VPS consists of a host machine and a guest machine. The server system where the hypervisor runs is called the host machine and the portioned systems executing are called the guest machine. The most efficient use of computer resources such as network bandwidth, memory space, and processor cycles is made easier with VPS web hosting.
VPS provides a special feature called scalability, through which you can scale up the utilization of resources whenever the traffic on your website increases. Also, you can scale down the resource utilization if you don’t need those resources.
Types of VPS hosting are:
Manages VPS hosting: In this type of hosting, the host manages the backend part and all you need to worry about is the content of your website. The web hosting provider provides you with services like server setup, monitoring, automated backups, security patches, etc.
Self-Managed or Unmanaged VPS hosting: In this type of VPS hosting, you be the owner and have to manage various things like software installation, security threat monitoring, maintaining and configuring server updates, etc.
If you are an IT professional you can choose to have the self-managed plan, if not I would suggest you go with the managed plan.
