You can find different companies that offer dedicated web hosting. For example, Bluehost offers a dedicated account with 1GB of monthly bandwidth for $9.99 a month. You can share your server with up to 5 guests for a flat rate of $9.99 a month.

A dedicated or shared hosting plan doesn’t require any hard work or time to set up. It’s simply a click of a button. Most dedicated and shared hosting companies will have an “Install” button next to their hosting account. That button will take you directly to the hosting platform’s web interface, where you can go ahead and install the server using your local web browser, and if you use WordPress for your sites, getting wordpress website hosting is easy with some great options in the market.

I have also seen companies like Vultr and SlickHost offer multiple accounts. That is, you can buy a package that includes shared hosting and a dedicated server and then later go ahead and pick your own web host. For example, a blog with hundreds of posts, a couple thousand followers, and a monthly revenue of over $1,000 could be hosted on Vultr’s dedicated account. That could work out to about $70 a month for one year, not to mention the multiple websites you could have up and running all at once.

Fully Private Accounts

We can’t share this post publicly at this point in time, so if you’re looking for information about how to setup a fully private VPS, you should know that it’s not possible with Vagrant, Puppet, or any other setup software. However, some can do it with shells and Shell scripting, having the right security is important to prevent issues like malware, which can affect sites.
