Traditional Web Hosting
Traditional web hosting is a service that provides server space, resources, and infrastructure to host websites and web applications on the internet, typically managed by a hosting provider. It involves renting physical or virtual servers where files, databases, and other components are stored and served to users via HTTP/HTTPS protocols. This model often includes shared hosting, virtual private servers (VPS), or dedicated servers, with the provider handling maintenance, security, and uptime.
Developers should use traditional web hosting for static websites, small to medium-sized business sites, or applications with predictable traffic and minimal scaling needs, as it offers cost-effectiveness and ease of management without requiring deep infrastructure expertise. It is suitable when full control over server configuration is not critical, and when relying on a provider for backups, updates, and support simplifies operations, such as for blogs, portfolios, or e-commerce platforms with standard requirements.
