shared hosting stands for a kind of web hosting where many users use the same resources of a single server to host their websites, which is budget-friendly for the users, but it is challenging when we talk about performance, however, this one is the most used hosting among WordPress hosting providers.

II. VPS Hosting

your freedom and control of things are important to you, okay this plan is for you! VPS is the acronym for a virtual private server and it stands for allocating specific resources (like CPU, RAM, and disk space) to your websites, this is why VPS hosting plans are performant, and they are not as cheap as shared hosting.

III. Managed Hosting:

from its name "Managed", this kind of hosting is more intended for non-technical persons where your host provider takes care of your WordPress website such as maintenance and updates instead of you. They have invested in top-notch security measures to keep your space safe, your websites on managed hosting will be hosted either on VPS or shared hosting, it depends on your budget.
