Why use a website management system?

A very convenient and useful feature is the content management system, which will be invaluable for those who have little experience in web development or who need to quickly train other employees to work on the site.

Virtual hosting
Virtual hosting (shared hosting) is the joint placement of a website with other websites on a server, where they share server resources with each other. This is the most affordable and cost-effective way to host a website on the network.
Virtual hosting allows you to host a wide variety of projects: blogs, forums, online stores... The only limitation is the size of the site (for high-traffic sites, it's better to use VPS or a dedicated server).
The convenience of virtual hosting is in its low price and simplicity for the user (convenient control panel, no need to delve into and understand server settings, etc.).
Virtual Private Server (VPS)
VPS is a virtual dedicated server, a modern hosting technology; a service provided by hosting companies.
VPS includes the features of both virtual hosting (the client gets to use only a part of the server) and a dedicated server (access to server settings and processor, memory, and other parameters).
Difference between VPS and virtual hosting
VPS allows you to fix the resources needed for the project and generally gives more control over the situation. Virtual hosting has its limitations, while VPS allows scaling, for example, adding additional capacity.
VPS is usually chosen by those who want to be more independent in terms of load and settings, as well as those whose project's technical features do not allow it to be placed on virtual hosting.
