Traditional web hosting

Traditional web hosting is mainly shared or dedicated hosting.

In shared hosting, you are sharing the server resources with other websites. It is used by small to medium-scale websites because of the cost-effectiveness and low maintenance.

The drawbacks of shared hosting are:

  • Performance: Your website will share server resources such as storage, CPU, and bandwidth with other websites, so if other websites get more user traffic, it will slow down your website.
  • Lack of control: You are not the owner of the server. You can use only the available resources on the server and can't install any software, as per your needs.
