What is the difference between shared, VPS, cloud, and dedicated hosting?

Four fundamental hosting types serve different scales: Shared Hosting — multiple websites share one physical server's resources (CPU, RAM, disk). Most affordable (Rs 99-500/month), best for new websites and low-traffic sites. Limitations: performance affected by neighbors, fewer customization options. VPS Hosting — virtualized private server with dedicated resources guaranteed by hypervisor isolation. More expensive (Rs 699-5,000/month) but dedicated CPU/RAM. Full root access. Best for growing sites, developers, and businesses needing consistency. Cloud Hosting — resources distributed across multiple servers for redundancy and on-demand scaling. Auto-handles traffic spikes. Best for applications with variable load. Dedicated Hosting — entire physical server exclusively yours. Maximum performance, complete control, highest cost (Rs 5,000-50,000+/month). Best for enterprise workloads, compliance requirements, and maximum performance needs.
