PrivilegeServer offers five distinct hosting categories, each designed for a specific use case and backed by AWS or our Dallas data center. Understanding these categories helps you pick the right plan from day one and avoid overpaying or under-provisioning. The five categories are: Shared Hosting, WordPress Hosting, VPS Hosting, Reseller Hosting, and Dedicated Servers.
Shared Hosting is the entry point for small sites, blogs, and small business websites. Multiple customers share server resources on Lightsail instances, with a custom control panel, one-click WordPress, email, and SSL. Prices start at $3.99/month and go up to about $12.99/month. WordPress Hosting uses the same Lightsail backbone but with the WordPress blueprint pre-installed, Redis cache, and staging—ideal for WooCommerce and content-heavy sites. Reseller Hosting is for agencies and entrepreneurs who want to sell hosting under their own brand; you get white-label branding, customer management, and Stripe Connect for billing.
VPS Hosting gives you a full virtual server on EC2: root access, choice of OS, Docker, and scalable storage. Developers and growing apps often start here. Dedicated Servers are the top tier—either EC2 Dedicated Instances or physical servers in Dallas. They are used for high-traffic sites, compliance-heavy workloads, and customers who need guaranteed resources and 99.99% SLA. Each category has multiple price tiers so you can scale within the same product family.
You can mix categories as your business grows: start with Shared, move to VPS when you need more control, and add Reseller when you want to host client sites. Our dashboard and support team can guide you through upgrades and migrations so you never feel locked in. Five categories, one platform—PrivilegeServer is built to grow with you.
Pricing is transparent for each category: you can compare Shared vs VPS vs Dedicated on our hosting pages and see exactly what you get for each tier. We do not charge setup fees for standard plans, and you can upgrade or downgrade from your dashboard. If you are unsure which category fits your project, contact our sales team—they can recommend a plan based on your traffic, applications, and growth expectations.
