Cloud hosting is a better choice than shared hosting because of its ability to handle huge amounts of traffic, enhanced security protection & reliability. Still, these extras come at a price, and most cloud hosting alternatives are more costly than shared hosting plans.

And if you’re just started and have a very small or low budget, a shared hosting plan may be a great option for your business.
