Shared Hosting vs VPS, Which is best for Small Business

Every business owner may have gone through the pain of choosing a web hosting once the coding is completed for their web site. Most of the times the developers from the company may suggest a web hosting company and you end up in choosing that without a second thought. We don’t recommend that and we suggest you follow up certain steps that are going to discuss below.

First, you should understand the difference between different hosting categories such as shares Hosting, VPS, Reseller Hosting and Dedicated Hosting. Top Web hosting firms are offering these services but you should be precise on your requirement before choosing any of these. Let’s go through the difference between all four and understand which one best suits for your needs

Shared Hosting

Shared Hosting is the basic web Hosting plans every company offers irrespective of their size and market share since it is the most demanded by most of the customers and the pricing is super cheap. In a shared hosting environment, you are sharing your resources with other users in the same pool that means the resources allocated to you will be sharable to others as well. Suppose, anyone the customer from that pool violates the bandwidth allocated to him, the entire clients in that pool have to suffer and as an end result your web site will be down for some time.

Here, again you have to think about what your requirement on hosting is and how much traffic you are going to receive in coming months, say for the next 6 months or 1 year time. If it is negligible say below 30k/month you can definitely go with a reasonable shared Hosting plan.

Now, with the shared Hosting plan, you can go with SSD web hosting that provides more speed and efficiency in the long run. So we better recommend going with SSD shared Hosting with Litespeed server plans. Regarding the pricing, it usually starts with $4 and we recommend you to choose a plan that starts with a storage of 10GB, hosting domains 5, DDR4 RAM 1 GB and iNodes 300000, etc.

VPS Hosting

VPS means Virtual Private Server, this actually resembles a dedicated Server environment but actually operates from a shared hosting platform.
