7. As a web hosting solution, Shared Hosting, offers one of the most economical web hosting
solutions, wherein a single web server stores and processes the files of multiple websites. Every
site that is hosted on the same web server, gets shared server space and shared server
resources as well as a shared IP address.This shared aspect of this type of web hosting service
makes it highly cost-effective. On the flip side, Shared Hosting plans do not allow for server
customization and often result in speed and security related issues for the hosted websites as
multiple sites depend on shared server resources in a shared server environment.

8. The main issues encountered in Shared Hosting are addressed inVPS hosting by providing the
environment of a dedicated server to each of the sites hosted on the same physical web server.A
Virtual Private Server (VPS) utilizesVirtualization Technology to emulate the environment of a
dedicated server on a server that is essentially a shared server.This is attained by virtually segmenting a
single web server into multiple, isolated, independent servers that are capable of functioning
independently to host websites.These virtually-created servers can install their own Operating System
and software.
InVPS Hosting, multiple websites are stored and processed on a single web server. Despite that each of
the hosted websites can customize the server and gets dedicated server space, dedicated server
resources as well as a dedicated IP address. Enhanced site speed, augmented site security and powerful
site performance are the results of hosting a site on aVPS.
