Shared Hosting VS VPS Hosting

If you are running your small business successfully then you must know about the shared hosting. But I am still reviewing the comparison between shared hosting and VPS hosting. Not only choosing a right web hosting brand is required, but there are still some additional features required to choose a proper web hosting plan. 

So, the types of hosting which are available are shared hosting (the lowest level), VPS hosting and Dedicated servers hosting. So, guys for a progressive success rate, you need to grow with time and so should be your business. 

So stepping up from the lower level to a higher level, should be a compulsive step. So, if your domain experiences a good quantitative and stable traffic and it is not increasing further, then it means that you need to upgrade to a further level i.e. from shared web hosting to VPS (Virtual Private Servers). 

Definitely, VPS hosting is better than shared hosting. So, I am putting some highlights on the two types of hosting and their features. So have a look. 

Shared Hosting

Shared Hosting, as the name suggests, lets the users to share a common server and thus users get the services at cheaper price. It is thus beneficial for the newcomers who don’t have much investment to start with. 

Advantages of Shared Plans

• Affordable - Off course, shared plans are more affordable. We can get a shared plan with a setup price of $2 - $4 per month. So, it is an affordable price. 

• No Technical Knowledge Required - Since, the shared hosting lets the users to rely or depend on them completely, there is not much technical required to run blog. 

• Huge Storage Space- Storage space of a website in shared plan can be extended by requested further more. 

Disadvantages of Shared Hosting

• You have limited number of tools.

• The server crashes often and is slow in speed. 

• The customer support at the lowest level is also not much effective. 

VPS Hosting

Virtual Private Servers are a kind of virtual servers which are not the full servers but a portion of server is dedicated to you only. So, for more flexibility and features, you always need more reliable solutions. Such a solution is VPS hosting. 

So, it is very important to upgrade to the VPS plan from the shared plan if you have a huge traffic. 

Advantages of VPS Hosting

• There will be huge bandwidth and huge disk usage space. 

• You have higher flexibility and higher speed. 

• You get experience of more secured hosting which is protected from viruses and malwares.

• You have better customer support than shared plans. So, your problems will be listened with higher priority and will be solved earlier. 

Disadvantages of VPS Hosting

• You require a little technical knowledge for using VPS hosting. 

• Some of the features cause error in the virtual environment of this hosting. 

• Vps hosting is costlier then Shared web hosting

So, now I think you have got the comparison between shared hosting and VPS hosting.
