Common Hosting Packages
Dedicated Server
A server that is completely dedicated to your website. Choose this if security is highly important, you’re a startup business that’s growing fast and can afford to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars a month.
Virtual Private Server (VPS)
Similar to a dedicated server but you share the server hardware with other VPS accounts. Choose this option if your website is growing fast, you need a good performance and you can pay around forty to fifty dollars a month for a managed account.
