When Do I Need VPS Hosting?

There are several benefits of VPS hosting that you will not get in the shared hosting. It comes as a midway solution between the shared hosting and the dedicated server.

More resources

You will need a VPS hosting if you find your website performing slower than the usual speed. This means your website is unable to handle the increasing requests from the visitors. You need more resources like bandwidth, server space, memory etc.

Traffic Requirements

Shared hosting offers limited resources and is not scalable. When you need more resources, your website may collapse under pressure. This can have a negative impact on your business and you could lose customers. You then must move to the VPS.

Control

You may be a developer wanting to experiment with applications. This is not possible in shared hosting while a dedicated server is too expensive. VPS will come in as a perfect option for you.

Price

VPS is the choice you need when you are low in budget but require features like the dedicated hosting. You can host on the VPS and migrate to the dedicated server when you earn more profits.

Reseller Accounts

Use the VPS to become a reseller with a reliable hosting company. Create your own plans and start a web hosting business without much investment.

Privacy

You need the VPS to store your mission-critical applications. It could be concerned with the financial information of your clients. You cannot continue in shared hosting because of security to data but cannot afford the costs of a dedicated server.
