When to Use VPS Hosting ?

VPS hosting is the perfect upgrade choice when you outgrow the services of the shared hosting. If your site is experiencing slow page uploads or is frequently crashing, it means the traffic to your site is increasing and you need something better for your website. In VPS, you share the server with other websites but not the resources. With dedicated resources, risks of website crashing are eliminated.

VPS servers are slightly higher in cost than the shared hosting but guarantees of stability, flexibility, security, privacy etc that is missing in shared hosting. In fact, several businesses directly launch their websites on the VPS servers because of its features and much lower costs than the dedicated server.

You must use a VPS if you are looking for control over the server to experiment with your own applications. You get root access to customize it the way you want.

If your business deals with sensitive customer information, you cannot risk staying in shared hosting and the dedicated server may not fit into your budget. VPS gives you a secluded, private environment where people you have permitted only are given access to your applications.

VPS is not the same as a dedicated server. It is built out of a dedicated server using the virtualization technology and incorporates almost all the features. It is lower in cost since the server is shared among several websites and each of you gets the resources in a lesser capacity than what you get in dedicated hosting. A business with budget restraints can use the VPS and slowly upgrade when finances permit.
