Types of Word Press Hosting

• Shared Hosting: Website will be on a server already hosting other websites. Resources and costs will be shared. Management via Web-based Interface like cPanel allows for managing site elements like email, database and installation of website software packages etc. Great for new webmasters.
• VPS Hosting: Website will be on a server with few clients and you have low level access to server administration. Management via WHM that allows non-technical users to manage various server functions. Great for designer/developer offering hosting to clients.
• Managed Hosting: Renting a server with support team.
• Dedicated Hosting: You own your own physical server.
