Web hosting providers generally take extensive measures so all their web hosting services are inherently secure. They place all servers in heavily-protected global data centers, ensuring risks from server breaches are brought down to a minimum. That being said, shared hosting has one major flaw and that is…well…being shared. There are often more than a hundred people on the same server as you, and a vulnerability in of their hosting accounts can easily affect yours as well. In contrast, web hosts that offer VPS and dedicated server solutions, can set up an isolated environment for your project(s), free from pesky neighbors. The client benefits from full customization control, so they can secure their website files as per their needs. It’s the best web hosting type in terms of protecting sensitive data.
