Shared hosting and independent hosting are two common types of network hosting services, and there are some important differences between them.

　　Resource sharing: In the sharing host, a physical server is shared by multiple users. This means that computing resources on the server (such as processors, memory and storage space) and network bandwidth will be jointly used by multiple websites. Instead, the independent host refers to a server that is completely used by a user, which has a complete control of all resources.

　　Performance and reliability: Because there are multiple users to share resources on the shared host, when one of the users' website traffic is high or the peak occurs, the websites of other users may be affected and the performance decreases. The independent host is exclusively used by a user, so performance and reliability are usually higher.

　　Flexibility and control: In independent hosts, users have complete control of the server, and can customize and configure the server environment to meet their specific needs. The shared hosts usually have less configuration options and custom capabilities, because the resources on the server are designed for multiple users.

　　Security: Since there are multiple users on the shared host, one of the users' security vulnerabilities may affect other users. Independent hosting is more reliable in terms of security, because users can independently implement the required security measures.

　　Price: Sharing hosts are usually cheaper than independent hosts, because cost sharing to multiple users. Independent hosts are usually higher due to the exclusive use of resources.

　　A small website, a personal blog, or the beginning of the business, and the requirements for performance and control are not high, sharing host is an affordable choice. And if you have a large website, require higher performance, security and flexibility, or you need to customize the server to configure the server, then the independent host will be more suitable for your needs.
