WordPress Hosting
WordPress is one of the most popular Content Management Systems (CMS) available today. In fact, 28% of websites around the world currently run on WordPress. Companies of all sizes (from small businesses to large corporations to major news outlets) use it to create a powerful online presence.
WordPress hosting is a shared hosting service with the WordPress CMS automatically configured. It also comes with several integrated WordPress plugins that allow users to build their website instantly!
VPS Hosting
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is an independent, virtual partition on a physical server. Think of a server with different “containers” within it. When you sign up for HostPapa VPS hosting, you get one of these containers to manage as you wish—install applications or scripts, and arrange your web files the way you want. It’s private, secure, and flexible.
While you will share some hardware resources with other VPS customers on your server, nothing your neighbours do will affect your container and vice versa. You get many of the benefits of your own dedicated server at a fraction of the cost. On a shared server, you rely on the performance of the platform provided. By choosing VPS, you get to select a configuration best suited for your applications, requirements, and growth.
Users are guaranteed the resources on their VPS server for their web hosting accounts. This means that your account will always be allocated the set amount of RAM, CPU, and disk space you’ve chosen regardless of what other users on the server are doing. This allows for greater stability and performance of your website, applications, and email. You also do not share the operating system with any other users, providing better security for your website files.
Shared Hosting
HostPapa’s shared hosting plans come with Panda Cloud antispam protection enabled, as well as a server firewall, monitoring, and intrusion detection. Over 37,000 websites get hacked daily, so HostPapa’s proactive security measures are reassuring.
