Shared hosting is the most affordable option for the website owners who are looking for a low-cost hosting solution. The only disadvantage of shared hosting is that it will provide only limited space to store the data.

Dedicated hosting is the most expensive option for the website owners. In this type of hosting, the website owner gets full access to the server and the storage space.

Both the shared and dedicated hosting are provided by the web hosting companies. These web hosting companies offer different packages to their clients depending upon their needs and budget.

The shared hosting is the cheapest option for the clients, but it has certain limitations.
