Types of Hosting
Shared Hosting
This is the most common type of web hosting in Kenya. In Shared Hosting, a website is placed on the same server as many other sites. All domains may share the same resources such as RAM and the CPU. To provide hosting for clients, web companies have reseller accounts where resellers sell shared Web Hosting.
Reseller Web Hosting
Allows clients to become web hosts themselves. Resellers’ accounts vary in size and they may have their own virtual dedicated server. Resellers provide an identical service to their web host’s plan and provide technical support on their own.
Virtual Private Server
Divides the servers into virtual servers. The VPS provider may provide server administration tasks for the customer but at times customers are responsible for maintaining the unmanaged server. VPS is allocated resources based on one server to many VPS servers. The users can have root access to their own virtual space.
Dedicated Hosting service

When a single computer goes down, other computers in the cloud can compensate. Allows charge for only those resources used by users. Cloud Hosting is decentralized, this means the user has less control of where their data is located. This is a problem to users with data security problems and privacy issues.
