Discussion of Virtual Hosting

The advantage of virtual hosting is its simplicity. You practically don't need to configure anything yourself. The hoster will simply give you access to your folder on the hosting and you will upload your site files there. These files will work immediately.

The disadvantage of virtual hosting is the limitation on resources. The site is allocated limited disk space, a certain amount of operating memory, a certain amount of processor time. There may also be a limit on internet traffic to the site.

It should also be kept in mind that virtual hosting is mainly for PHP sites with SQL databases. Rare hostings have support for NodeJS and Python, and it is limited. Sites on such languages are usually hosted on servers.

In general, such hosting is a good option for any non-high-load project with plain static content or on PHP. Such hosting can host landing pages, blogs, forums, online stores, and other types of sites.
