When we choose the SiteGround virtual host package, do we see three host options: WEB Hosting, WordPress Hosting and WooCommerce Hosting? What's the difference between these three host options?
1、 Web Hosting
This host is a general-purpose host product. We can build any PHP+MYSQL program website, including the WORDPRESS program. But there is no special added value.
Traditionally, there are three types of hosting. The most basic one is the shared host, also known as the network host. When using shared hosting, you can share the resources of a single server with hundreds of other clients. Then cloud hosting and virtual private servers. In this case, you get a dedicated server resource sharing. These resources are actually allocated to you, but belong to a server or a group of (cloud) servers. Other websites and clients are also hosted. Finally, there is a dedicated server, which is completely dedicated to your machine. Here we belong to the first type, shared host.
2、 WordPress Hosting
WordPress is a free and open source content management system. It needs a hosting environment with MySQL database and PHP language to run and make your WordPress supported websites available on the network. When you select your host, you first need to ensure that it covers these basic technical requirements to adapt to the software, and then consider the additional wordpress specific services included in the hosting plan to give you maximum convenience and peace of mind, such as security features, performance promoters and other hosting solutions.
WordPress Hosting here is a product with separate WP specific functions based on the original WEB HOSTING. The web hosting service specifically supports WordPress. SiteGround provides hosted WordPress services in all its plans, including automatic updates of core plug-ins and free plug-ins, convenient tools, such as WP-CLI, WordPress Starter and WordPress Migrator, and optimizing the performance and security features of plug-ins and SiteGround security plug-ins at the server and application levels through SiteGround.
3、 WooCommerce Hosting
WooCommerce， We should guide you to use the WordPress business plug-in. If we want to build an online store, you will get two WordPress and WooCommerce plug-ins to install together. It is obvious that WooCommerce Hosting host products are plug-in support for WooCommerce business shopping alone, and they are free of charge.
In this way, we obviously know how to choose WooCommerce host for business purposes. If it is a pure WP program, then use the WP dedicated host to support some extension programs. If it is an ordinary PHP program, or we do not need to extend it with WP, we can use the WEB HOSTING basic host.
