What is the difference between Shared Hosting and Dedicated server?

The main difference lies in how server resources are allocated .

  • Shared Hosting: Multiple websites share the same server resources (CPU, RAM, Disk). It’s affordable and managed by Hostaday, making it ideal for beginners .
  • Dedicated Server: You have the entire physical server to yourself. All resources are dedicated to your site, providing maximum performance, security, and full root access for custom configurations . Think of Shared Hosting as an apartment in a building, while a Dedicated Server is your own private house.
