Hospedagem InMotion will rent you a whole physical server for USD 35 um mês, renovando em USD 49.99. O maior plano compartilhado do SiteGround, GoGeek, renova em USD 44.99. Portanto, as duas faixas de preço agora se sobrepõem, but the work you’re responsible for hasn’t shrunk at all. This comparison prices both sides with September 2026 figuras, renewals included, and shows where a dedicated server’s real cost hides.
Resposta rápida: Stay on shared hosting if you run a blog, a brochure site or a small store and nobody on your team manages Linux. If you keep hitting your plan’s process limits, a managed cloud plan is usually the cheaper next step. Move to a dedicated server when you need software a shared account can’t run, or a whole machine’s resources. The same goes when a contract demands hardware nobody else touches.
Última revisão: setembro 2026. Preços e recursos verificados.
Como construímos esta comparação
Every price here was read off the provider’s own pricing page on 17 setembro 2026. The shared hosts are ScalaHosting, Hostinger, SiteGround, HostArmada e ChemiCloud. The dedicated providers are Ultahost, Contabo, Teia líquida, DreamHost and InMotion Hosting. These are the same ten providers the previous version of this page used. We removed none and re-checked every figure.
Three rules shaped the numbers. Primeiro, we recorded the renewal price next to every promo price and calculated the multiplier. Um dólar 1.99 plano que renova em USD 9.95 is really a USD 9.95 plano. Segundo, we only counted resource limits a host publishes itself, on its pricing page or in its knowledge base. Terceiro, we checked refund terms on each provider’s legal or refund page, not the badge in its sales copy. The two don’t always agree, and at Ultahost they flatly contradict each other.
Where the two hosting types trade off, we gave most weight to total cost over two years, including control panel licensing and management. Published resource ceilings came second, then refund exposure and hardware age. For background we used the CloudLinux documentation on shared limits and Intel’s product database for CPU launch dates. Currency conversions use the European Central Bank reference rate of EUR 1 = USD 1.1537 (16 setembro 2026).
What we skipped: testes de carga. We didn’t benchmark any of these servers ourselves. Where a host doesn’t publish a limit, dizemos isso em vez de adivinhar. Contabo prices in euros, so its USD figures below are our conversions, not prices Contabo quotes.
What You’re Actually Renting
A shared hosting account is a user login on a server that holds many other accounts. You get a slice of CPU time, memória, disk and database connections, plus a control panel. The host runs the operating system, the web server, PHP, the firewall and the hardware. You never see the machine and never patch it.
A dedicated server is a physical computer in a data center that nobody else uses. Every CPU core and every gigabyte of RAM is yours. So is everything above the hardware, unless you pay someone to handle it. That means the operating system, atualizações de segurança, web server configuration, backups and the control panel license.
That second point matters more than raw specs. Shared hosting bundles a sysadmin into the price. Dedicated hosting usually doesn’t, and the sections below put a number on that difference.
The option in between
Plenty of buyers who think they need a dedicated server only need guaranteed resources, not a whole machine. ScalaHosting’s Entry Cloud lists 2 CPUs dedicadas e 2 GB RAM for USD 14.95/mo, renovando em USD 39.95. It includes SPanel (Painel de controle próprio do ScalaHosting), automated backups and expert support. Hostinger’s managed Cloud Startup gives 4 Núcleos de CPU e 4 GB RAM for USD 7.99/mo, renovando em USD 25.99. If your problem is a busy WordPress site rather than custom software, look there first.
The Limits Shared Hosting Doesn’t Print on the Sales Page
“Largura de banda ilimitada” é o título (a word that does a lot of heavy lifting on hosting sales pages). The real ceiling sits in the account’s resource limits. A common tool for enforcing them is CloudLinux, um sistema operacional desenvolvido para servidores compartilhados, and its documentation states the goal plainly: “to make sure that no single web site can bring down your web server.” Good for stability. Less good when your site is the one being held back.
The one limit your visitors can see directly is entry processes (EP, the number of dynamic requests your account can run at the same moment). CloudLinux counts concurrent connections to dynamic scripts such as PHP, plus SSH sessions and cron jobs running at once. Go over it and visitors get a 508 “Limite de recursos atingido” erro, even when the server itself has spare capacity.
Only two of our five shared hosts publish process and disk I/O caps (how fast your account may read and write to disk). This is what each host tells you:
- Dock inicial HostArmada: 20 processos de entrada, 40 total processes, uma 40% average daily CPU allowance, 250,000 files and 5 E/S de disco em MB/s.
- Hospedagem Premium: 1 Núcleo da CPU, 2 GB de RAM e 40 Trabalhadores PHP (processes that run your site’s code). Além disso 400,000 inodes (arquivos e pastas), 12,288 KB/s I/O and 10 bases de dados.
- Iniciante ChemiCloud: 1 testemunho, 2 GB de RAM e 250,000 inodes. No process or I/O cap appears on its plan page.
- ScalaHosting Mini: listed only as “CPU compartilhada & RAM”. No numbers.
- Inicialização do SiteGround: no CPU or process figures on the plan page. SiteGround sizes it at “por aí 10,000 visitas” a month instead.
Look at the I/O line. Hostinger’s Premium allows about 12 MB/s of disk throughput and HostArmada’s Start Dock allows 5 MB / s. That gives Hostinger’s entry plan roughly 2.4x the disk headroom. The gap matters most for database-heavy jobs like WooCommerce imports, backups and search indexing. Rent a whole server and the host-imposed I/O cap disappears.
Read the CPU line with the same care. HostArmada’s plan card advertises 2 CPU cores for Start Dock. The quota tooltip on the same page adds “Average CPU Usage/day: 40%”. Headline cores and the CPU time you can use all day long are two different numbers.
Email gets rationed too, and this one catches store owners out. Hostinger caps mail sent by scripts through the server’s built-in system (Correio PHP(), PHPMailer and similar). The limit is 10 per minute and 100 por dia on every web and cloud plan. Order confirmations, shipping notices and password resets can add up to 100 velozes. Hostinger itself recommends switching to SMTP (an outside mail service your site logs into), and that’s the right fix on any shared host.
A shared plan can shrink under the same name
Hostinger publishes its plan history, and the numbers moved fast. Hostinger Premium plans bought since 17 dezembro 2025 incluir 3 sites e 20 GB, para baixo de 100 sites e 100 GB before 24 abril 2025. The RAM and CPU didn’t move: 2 GB e 1 core in every version. Limits follow the purchase date, so older accounts keep the old allowance. If a friend’s older Hostinger account runs a dozen sites, don’t assume a new signup will.
What Shared Hosting Costs in 2026
Promo prices on shared hosting are marketing numbers. The renewal is the price you’ll pay for most of the life of your site. Below is the entry plan at each of our five shared hosts, with the multiplier we calculated from each provider’s published figures:
- ScalaHosting Mini: Introdução de US$ 2,95/mês, renova em USD 11.95 (4.05x). 10 GB NVMe (um tipo rápido de SSD), 1 local na rede Internet, 99.9% garantia de tempo de atividade.
- Hospedagem Premium: US$ 2,99/mês com prazo de 48 meses, renova em USD 10.99 (3.68x). 20 GB SSD, 3 sites, 30-reembolso diário.
- Inicialização do SiteGround: USD 2.99/mo prepaid for 12 meses (excluindo IVA), renova em USD 17.99 (6.02x). 10 GB, 1 local na rede Internet, 30-reembolso diário.
- Dock inicial HostArmada: US$ 1,99/mês, renova em USD 9.95 (5.00x). 15 GB NVMe, 2 Núcleos da CPU, 2 GB de RAM, 45-reembolso diário.
- Iniciante ChemiCloud: USD 1.95/mo on a 3-year term, with a listed regular rate of USD 11.95 (6.13x). 20 GB NVMe, sobre 25,000 visitas, 45-reembolso diário.
Observe o padrão? The two cheapest promos, ChemiCloud and HostArmada, carry two of the three steepest multipliers. Hostinger has the gentlest jump at 3.68x. HostArmada still ends up with the lowest regular price of the five, USD 9.95. SiteGround’s USD 17.99 renovação é 64% above Hostinger’s, for half the storage and a third of the websites.
Bottom line on shared costs: after the promo ends, you’re paying USD 10 para USD 18 um mês. Budget from that range, not from USD 2. Nosso shared hosting rankings go deeper on which of these plans holds up after year one.
What Dedicated Servers Cost in 2026
Entry dedicated prices now run from USD 35 para mais de USD 200 um mês. The spread comes down to three things: how old the hardware is, whether anyone manages it for you, and whether a control panel is included.
- Ultahost Ulta-X1: USD 93.50/mo on a 24-month term, renews at the same USD 93.50 (1.00x). 4-core Xeon E3-1265L v3, 16 GB DDR3, 256 GB SSD. Totalmente gerenciado, 99.99% garantia de tempo de atividade.
- Contabo AMD Ryzen 12 Cores: about USD 126.50/mo (EUR 109.65, excluindo IVA) pela primeira vez 12 meses. After that it’s about USD 171.90 (EUR 149.00), uma 1.36x degrau. Ryzen 9 7900, 64 GB de RAM, 1 TB NVMe, sem taxa de configuração, autogerenciado.
- Liquid Web Intel Xeon E-2134: USD 205.70/mo on a 2-year term, which Liquid Web describes as 15% desligado. The plan card doesn’t show a renewal rate. 4 núcleos, 16 GB de RAM, 480 GB SSD, 500 GB Acronis backups and cPanel. Totalmente gerenciado, 99.99% garantia de tempo de atividade.
- Padrão dedicado DreamHost: US$ 165/mês cobrado anualmente, ou dólares americanos 199 mês a mês, with no separate promo or renewal rate shown. 6-núcleo AMD EPYC, 16 GB de RAM, 480 GB SSD em RAID 1 (two mirrored drives). Fully managed OS, largura de banda não medida.
- InMotion Hosting Aspire: USD 35.00/mo on a 12-month term, renova em USD 49.99 (1.43x). 4-core Xeon E3-1246 v3, 16 GB DDR3, 960 GB SSD, no RAID, 1 Gbps ilimitado.
Two details in that list are easy to miss.
Where dedicated providers publish a renewal, it’s far flatter than on shared plans. Ultahost holds its price, InMotion rises 1.43x and Contabo 1.36x, against 4x to 6x on the shared side. That changes the real gap. Mais de dois anos, SiteGround StartUp costs USD 251.76: 12 meses em USD 2.99, então 12 em dólares americanos 17.99. InMotion’s Aspire costs USD 1,019.88 over the same two years. The first-year monthly prices differ 11.7x, but the two-year totals differ only 4.05x.
“dedicada” não significa “novo”. Intel lists the Xeon E3-1265L v3 in Ultahost’s entry box as a Q2 2013 lançar. The E3-1246 v3 in InMotion’s Aspire launched in Q2 2014. Both are discontinued and both use DDR3 memory. Contabo’s Ryzen box gives you 12 núcleos e 64 GB contra 4 núcleos e 16 GB in both of those. Nesta comparação, the two cheapest dedicated servers are also the two oldest, so read the CPU line before the price.
Why dedicated prices went up in 2026
Memory got expensive. The European cloud provider OVHcloud says DDR4 prices climbed 158% and DDR5 prices 307% since September 2025. It doesn’t expect RAM prices to normalize before 2028. Em 15 Junho 2026, German host Hetzner raised prices on new dedicated server orders, putting its AX42-1 at USD 117.10/mo (EUR 97.30). Hetzner blamed hardware procurement costs. The AX42-1 also carries a USD 59 setup fee and a separate IPv4 charge, and existing contracts kept their old terms. Contabo’s blog is blunter: “the AI boom led to a dramatic increase in RAM and HDD prices”.
Dedicated buyers feel this more directly. On a dedicated server you pay for every gigabyte of RAM in the machine, while a shared host spreads its memory across many accounts. Once you’ve confirmed a server fits your workload, a flat long-term price is a sensible hedge. Ultahost’s USD 93.50 held for 24 months is one example.
The Management Bill Hiding Behind the Server Price
InMotion publishes the clearest proof of what management costs. Its Essential dedicated server (Xeon E-2134, 64 GB DDR4, 2 TB SSD, 5 IPs) custos US$ 99,99/mês. The same hardware sold as Essential Premier Care costs USD 218.98/mo. Both renew at the price you signed up for.
Esse dólar 118.99 difference puts the server under InMotion’s in-house management team. It also buys a cPanel license, which InMotion values at USD 58.99/mo. Proteção contra malware Monarx, 500 GB of backup storage and an hour of consulting a month are included too. We calculated the managed version at 2.19x the unmanaged price. At InMotion, the hardware is less than half the bill.
The control panel is the piece people forget. Em hospedagem compartilhada, cPanel or an in-house panel comes with the plan. On a dedicated server you either get it bundled or you pay for it. Liquid Web includes cPanel on its managed plans, and DreamHost advertises “No Extra Panel Fees”. Em outro lugar, check the order page before you assume a panel is included. InMotion values the license at USD 58.99/mo, which is more than its whole Aspire server at renewal (USD 49.99).
Then there’s your time. Contabo says it specializes in self-managed servers and charges extra for management help. Self-managed means you apply security patches, configure the firewall, set up backups and fix whatever breaks at 2 sou. If you can’t do that yourself, price in a managed plan or a freelancer before comparing servers. Nosso comparação de alojamento dedicado gerido covers the providers that take that job off your hands.
atuação: When Dedicated Is Faster, and When It Isn’t
A dedicated server is faster under load, not automatically faster for every page view. A cached WordPress page is served as a ready-made file, so the server does very little work. For that kind of page, the distance between server and visitor matters more than CPU cores. The gap opens when traffic arrives in bursts or pages run heavy database queries.
Em hospedagem compartilhada, a burst hits your entry process ceiling. HostArmada’s Start Dock allows 20 processos de entrada, so the 21st simultaneous PHP request gets a 508 erro. On a dedicated server, the same burst runs into the machine’s cores and RAM, not a quota of 20 ou 40.
Neighbors matter too. CloudLinux caps each account’s CPU, memória, processos e E/S de disco, so one busy account can’t take over the whole server. Everyone still shares the same physical disks and network port. On a dedicated server nobody else uses them, so another customer’s busy hour can’t eat into your disk or port capacity.
Aqui está a coisa, Apesar. If your site is slow because of a bloated theme or no caching, a dedicated server won’t fix it. It’ll just run the same slow code on more expensive hardware.
Segurança e Confiabilidade: Isolation Only Helps If Someone Patches the Box
Shared hosting’s security model is “the host handles it”. The host patches the server, and SiteGround and HostArmada both list malware scanning on their plans. On servers running CloudLinux, a feature called CageFS gives each customer “a virtualized, per-user file system”. Accounts can’t see each other’s files. The weak spot is shared reputation: if another account on your server’s IP gets blacklisted for spam, your outgoing mail can suffer too.
Single-tenant hardware removes neighbors entirely, which is why some client contracts and security reviews insist on it. But isolation only helps if someone hardens the box. An unpatched dedicated server with SSH open to the internet is a softer target than a well-run shared account.
The uptime guarantee barely changes between the two types. Listas ChemiCloud 99.99% on a shared plan with a USD 11.95 taxa normal. Ultahost and Liquid Web promise the same 99.99% on dedicated servers costing 7.8x and 17.2x as much. That figure allows about 4 minutes of downtime in a 30-day month either way.
The real difference is who deals with a hardware failure, and how fast. Em hospedagem compartilhada, a dead disk is the host’s problem to plan around. Rent a dedicated server and your site depends on one machine. InMotion’s Aspire and Essential list no RAID. A failed drive there means downtime and a restore from backup. DreamHost ships RAID 1 em seu plano de entrada. Liquid Web backs its servers with a 30-minute hardware replacement SLA (acordo de nível de serviço, a written promise with remedies). Ask about both before you order.
The Refund Trap on Dedicated Servers
It’s an easy mistake to make when you upgrade: assuming the money-back guarantee you had on shared hosting carries over. For two of our five dedicated providers, isso não acontece.
Ultahost’s dedicated server page says “We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.” Its refund policy says “Refunds are not valid for Dedicated Servers Plans.” Mesma empresa, two different answers, and the legal page is the one that applies. DreamHost’s terms of service (Atualizada 27 agosto 2026) exclude dedicated servers from its 30-day guarantee. InMotion’s dedicated page promises an “up to 30-day” garantia de devolução de dinheiro, so check the terms for your specific plan. Neither Liquid Web’s nor Contabo’s dedicated pages state a refund window at all.
Shared hosting is far more forgiving. HostArmada and ChemiCloud give 45 dias, and Hostinger and SiteGround give 30. So test your workload on a monthly dedicated plan before committing to a long term. Em dólares americanos 93.50 um mês, Ultahost’s 24-month term adds up to USD 2,244, and its refund policy returns none of it.
How to Choose Between Shared and Dedicated Hosting
Ignore as listas de verificação de recursos. These scenarios put a real workload next to a real price.
Blog pequeno, under USD 12/mo: Dock inicial HostArmada. Renova em USD 9.95, the lowest regular rate of our five shared hosts, com 2 Núcleos de CPU e 2 GB de RAM. Running two or three small sites? Hostinger Premium covers three for USD 10.99. Pule a inicialização do SiteGround aqui. É USD 17.99 renovação é 81% more than HostArmada’s, for a plan SiteGround sizes at about 10,000 visitas.
Store doing 30-100 pedidos por dia: stay managed, but move past entry shared. HostArmada’s Start Dock caps you at 20 concurrent processes and 5 MB/s I/O, which is thin for checkout traffic. ScalaHosting’s Entry Cloud gives dedicated CPUs and RAM with SPanel and backups for USD 39.95 na renovação. O que quer que você escolha, send order emails through SMTP. A 100-per-day script mail cap like Hostinger’s won’t survive a sale weekend. Nosso Guia de hospedagem de comércio eletrônico WordPress compares store-ready plans.
Agency with a Linux admin: Contabo’s Ryzen 12-core. About USD 126.50/mo (EUR 109.65) in year one buys 12 núcleos e 64 GB de RAM para 20 ou mais sites de clientes. It rises to about USD 171.90 (EUR 149.00) depois de 12 meses, and a control panel license comes on top. Skip InMotion’s Aspire for this job. USD 35 parece mais barato, mas 4 cores from 2014 e 16 GB of DDR3 will run out long before your client list does.
Compliance need, no technical staff: Liquid Web or InMotion Premier Care. Liquid Web’s USD 205.70 (2-termo do ano) inclui cPanel, 500 GB of backups and a 30-minute hardware replacement SLA. InMotion’s Essential Premier Care costs USD 218.98 com prazo de 12 meses. Isso é USD 13.28 mais para 64 GB of RAM instead of 16 GB. Ultahost’s fully managed Ulta-X1 costs less than half as much, em dólares americanos 93.50. In return you accept 2013 hardware, uma 256 GB SSD and no refund if it’s the wrong fit. Don’t pick Contabo here, because a self-managed server leaves you responsible for the patching an auditor will ask about.
Not sure you need dedicated yet: DreamHost Dedicated Standard on monthly billing. Em dólares americanos 199 a month it’s the priciest way to rent that server, but you’re paying for the exit. DreamHost won’t refund a dedicated server, so a monthly term caps your risk at USD 199. Compare that with the USD 2,244 locked into Ultahost’s 24-month term. You also get management and RAID 1 desde o primeiro dia. Once the workload proves itself, yearly billing drops the price to USD 165.
Tight budget, root access required: InMotion Aspire. É USD 35 no primeiro ano, então USD 49.99. That renewal is only USD 5 above SiteGround’s GoGeek shared plan (USD 44.99), and you get a whole machine with root access. Accept the 2014-era CPU and keep backups off the server, since there’s no RAID. If you don’t truly need root access, GoGeek costs USD 5 less and SiteGround runs the server for you.
perguntas frequentes
Will a USD 35 dedicated server load my site faster than a USD 3 plano compartilhado?
Not for a small, well-cached site. You’ll feel the difference during traffic spikes, when a shared plan hits its entry process limit. InMotion’s Aspire (USD 35, renovando em USD 49.99) also runs a 2014-era Xeon, so per-core speed isn’t guaranteed to improve. Fix caching first, and upgrade if 508 errors keep coming.
Can I get a refund if a dedicated server doesn’t work out?
Frequentemente, não. Ultahost’s refund policy excludes all dedicated server plans, even though its sales page mentions a 30-day guarantee. DreamHost’s terms exclude dedicated servers from its 30-day guarantee too. Start on a monthly term, such as DreamHost’s USD 199 month-to-month option, until you’re sure.
Is cPanel included with a dedicated server?
Only on some plans, such as Liquid Web’s managed dedicated servers. InMotion includes it on Premier Care plans and values the license at USD 58.99/mo. On self-managed servers like Contabo’s, you license a panel yourself. Free panels exist too, and Contabo lists Webmin among its install options.
Will a new host move my site from shared hosting to a dedicated server for free?
Usualmente, if the server is managed. Ultahost advertises free migration to its dedicated servers, and InMotion lists free migration for cPanel sites. Liquid Web says its experts handle the transfer, and DreamHost includes free guided onboarding. On a self-managed server like Contabo’s, the move is your job, so lower your DNS TTL (how long resolvers cache your records) a day ahead.
Veredicto Final
Shared hosting is still the right answer for most websites in 2026. Depois da promoção, sobre USD 10 para USD 18 a month buys a managed server, a control panel and a 30 to 45-day refund window. HostArmada has the lowest renewal of our five shared hosts at USD 9.95. Hostinger has the gentlest jump at 3.68x. SiteGround e ChemiCloud carry the steepest, at 6.02x and 6.13x.
A dedicated server earns its price when you need guaranteed cores, custom software or single-tenant hardware. The sticker price is the smaller part of that decision. InMotion’s price list shows the same server costing 2.19x more once management and cPanel are added. Ultahost e DreamHost won’t refund a dedicated server that turns out to be the wrong fit. Whoever you pick, start on the shortest term offered, such as DreamHost’s USD 199 monthly option, and commit longer once the server has proved itself. Contabo ganhos em hardware por dólar para equipes que podem rodar Linux. Teia líquida e Em movimento Premier Care win for teams that can’t.
If you’re somewhere in between, you probably don’t need either extreme. Nosso Comparação compartilhada vs VPS covers the first step up from shared hosting. o VPS vs dedicated breakdown covers the step after that.
