Summary: Compare shared, VPS and cloud hosting by performance, control, scalability and cost to choose the right plan.
Choosing hosting is about matching resources to your website's needs.
| Type | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Shared | Many sites share one server | Small business sites, blogs |
| VPS | Dedicated slice of a server with root access | Growing sites, custom software |
| Cloud | Scalable resources across infrastructure | High-traffic sites and apps |
| Dedicated | Entire physical server | Very heavy workloads |
Shared hosting
Affordable and easy to manage. Performance can vary when neighboring sites are busy. Through our Hostinger partner link, you get 20% off plans.
VPS hosting
Guaranteed resources and full control. Requires server management — or a managed plan.
Cloud hosting
Scales with demand and offers redundancy. Ideal for ecommerce stores and applications with traffic spikes. Options include Hostinger Cloud, Google Cloud, AWS and Azure.
How to decide
- Under moderate traffic with a CMS site → shared or managed WordPress hosting
- Custom apps, multiple sites or performance issues → VPS
- Rapid growth, high availability needs → cloud
