What is a server, and how do you choose one for your website?

A simple explanation of servers and the difference between shared hosting and a VPS cloud server.

What is a server?

A server is a computer connected to the internet all the time. It stores your site files and database and sends them to each visitor.

Shared hosting or a private server?

With shared hosting several sites share one server, which is enough for most small sites. A VPS cloud server gives you resources reserved for you alone.

When do you need a VPS?

When you run an internal system or app, when your site slows down from heavy traffic, or when you need special settings.
