在当前的技术时代，当企业正在改变其业务和营销策略时，他们正在利用技术来推动业务发展。现在，如果我们将看到网站正在成为每个组织或企业的重要组成部分之一。但是，让公共虚拟主机可以访问该网站更为重要，但现在选择合适的虚拟主机是最重要的。但是在选择任何虚拟主机时，它需要正确了解虚拟主机及其不同类型，以及有关云服务器和专用服务器、它们的使用和应用程序的知识，在这种情况下，哪个是好的，应该首选。所以现在让我们了解两种不同类型的托管，即云托管和专用托管。
1. 云主机：
云托管是网络托管市场上的高级计划之一。这里的网站托管在一组或一组服务器上，许多服务器和机器作为单个实体同步工作。云托管允许使用云计算设施创建计算资源。它具有良好的可扩展性和灵活性，因此可以根据需要轻松增加或减少资源。这对高流量的网站很有好处。它的速度和灵活性使其成为网络托管的首选。
云托管的优点：
- 按需资源——按时付款。
- 高可用性 – 可靠。
- 更好的可扩展性——灵活。
- 恢复丢失的数据。
云托管的缺点：
- 需要高级云知识。
- 平台依赖——云供应商协作
- 对用户使用服务的有限控制
2. 专用主机：
在专用托管中，完整的服务器属于您意味着该网站存储在仅专用于该服务器的单个服务器上。它不同于在一台服务器上托管多个网站的共享托管。但在这里，一台物理服务器专用于一个站点。组织拥有服务器资源的全部权限，并且可以根据确切的规范进行相应的配置。因此，它提供了更高的性能和更高的安全级别，但与其他类型的托管相比，它更昂贵。
专用主机的优点：
- 更高的性能
- 高级别安全性
- 完全定制
- 需要时的最佳支持
专用主机的缺点：
- 它比其他主机贵
- 需要技术人员进行定制
云主机和专用主机的区别：
| S.No. | CLOUD HOSTING | DEDICATED HOSTING |
|---|---|---|
| 01. | In cloud hosting the website is hosted on a set or a cluster of servers, many servers and machines are working synchronously as a single entity. | In dedicated hosting a full server belongs to you means the website is stored on that single server which is dedicated only to that server. |
