VPS Hosting vs. Shared Hosting

vps hosting


What is VPS hosting? A VPS is a virtual private server. This is a physical server that has been subdivided into various virtual servers using software. Each server acts as a dedicated server to the client. On the other hand, shared hosting is when a company hosts multiple clients on a single server. They all share that one server’s resources. Let us look at some key differences between the two:

VPS hosting may cost you slightly more.

Shared hosting tends to be cheaper than VPS hosting. However, shared hosting has far fewer features than VPS hosting. Therefore, websites with little traffic would benefit most from shared hosting.

Scalability

While shared hosting is an excellent option for websites with little traffic, it may not be the best long-term solution. Your website will place a higher demand on the server’s resources as traffic increases. This could lead to you receiving internal error messages from the server. Opting for VPS instead is a better option as it can handle any traffic. If you feel like you may need to scale up your operations on the fly, then it’s an excellent long-term solution.

VPS hosting is more secure than shared hosting.

When choosing between a VPS or shared hosting, one must consider security. Industry professionals generally consider shared hosting very secure, but safety is not 100% guaranteed. If one user makes a mistake or experiences problems, it could affect the whole server.

The security level depends on how much the host has invested into security. On the other hand, VPS hosting is incredibly secure. One can implement more robust security features if one decides. Remember, errors by one user don’t affect the rest of the server.

Server administration

Server administration is always handled by the hosting company when it comes to shared servers. However, with VPS servers, one can let a hosting company handle the administration, or one can hire an IT expert to oversee administration.

Performance

VPS servers have access to more resources which leads to increased performance. Shared hosting performance depends on the technologies the host has implemented for speed. With a shared plan, other websites’ performance may affect the performance of your website. If your website receives low to medium traffic, go for shared hosting. However, if you’re running a website that receives high levels of traffic or are managing multiple websites, then opt for a VPS hosting.
