A quick primer on the five hosting types you'll run into throughout our reviews — so every score and comparison actually makes sense.
Multiple websites split the resources of one physical server, which keeps costs low but limits performance under heavy load.
A virtualized slice of a server gives you dedicated resources and more control, without paying for a full server.
An entire physical server reserved exclusively for your site, with full root access and no neighbors competing for resources.
Your site draws resources from a network of servers instead of just one, so sudden traffic spikes don't take it offline.
The host handles updates, caching, and security tuned specifically for WordPress, so you don't have to.
