Please follow this link #### How to choose Hosting for Magento: Vps, Dedicated or Shared? You see below in detail the solutions offered on the market and the meanings linked to these three types 1. Shared Hosting (Not recommended) 2. Dedicated Hosting (Recommend) 3. VPS hosting (Recommend) ***Shared Hosting*** A shared hosting is when within the same server machine are hosted more websites. Basically a shared hosting service occurs when the computational resources (CPU and RAM) are shared resources with other clients on the same server / node. This type of hosting is generally recommended for small sites that do not have a lot of traffic or large revenues, instead it is not recommended for sites that have thousands of users per day and to whom a hosting block could lose large sums of money. However, a big advantage of shared hosting is definitely the price, which is clearly much lower than dedicated hosting. If well configured and well optimized, even shared hosting can offer the experience of dedicated hosting as long as you buy a package that offers the minimum necessary to run Magento2 at its best: from our analyzes, the minimum cut in CPU and RAM is of 2 cores and 2 GB of ram. ***Dedicated Hosting*** With this type of hosting, on the other hand, unlike shared hosting, you have the entire physical server at your disposal . This therefore has some advantages especially in terms of machine customization. It is therefore a hosting service where every type of resource (CPU, RAM, DISK, BAND) is 100% dedicated to us Why choose dedicated hosting over a shared solution? Surely the main advantage is to have all the resources at our disposal and it is recommended for medium and large sites that need dedicated resources. ***VPS hosting*** VPS stands for Virtual Private Server or a virtual Server dedicated to you where the computational capacity (CPU and RAM), disk and bandwidth are 100% always available to you. Furthermore, being a virtual Server, the basic VPS can scale in “vertical” or by adding CPU and RAM through a reconfiguration of the plan you have purchased and a subsequent reboot. ### Minimog theme structure ![](https://1228290169-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOKXJeKzPNYFTVQat5VJw%2Fuploads%2FKx8G4FClbjKTzQ30d7uW%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-08-02%20at%2015.30.23.png?alt=media\&token=088d8456-8fad-4c28-a144-8ab9f1e19c4f) The theme package you have downloaded consists of several folders.
