Do You Need VPS Hosting?
If you are still wondering about when is the right time for you to move your website to VPS, let me give you some suggestions. If you hit one or more of these points, then you should move to VPS.
When your site have become popular and received a lot of visitors and your hosting provider giving you a warning about your site is using too much CPU. Although maybe you don’t have a high volume of visitors, but your website is taking too much CPU resource like having a wordpress blog with too many plugins, you should move to VPS hosting
You need a server with a special server configuration or special set of software which in general can’t be found in shared hosting. This is true especially if you are a web developer, web developers usually need a special configuration and software installed on the server that they need in order for their web projects to run because VPS is a private server you are free to configure it and install whatever applications you might need.
You have a website with plenty of multimedia content that need a lot of space, although some shared hosting offer unlimited disk space that does not guarantee they can provide what they promise.
You are a person who loves to configure things, VPS will be a heaven for you who love to configure stuff. Try the unmanaged VPS hosting, and configure it as you like, start from the operating system, working services, installing programs, updating and setting up system security that should keep your hands full.
VPS is more expensive than shared hosting, but if your website demands more resource than your shared hosting can give, you should move it to VPS than taking the risk of losing your visitors or customers. Remember though in VPS hosting you are still sharing resource with other account although not as much as shared hosting, in VPS one host server usually running 3-10 accounts compared to shared hosting where you are sharing server resource with probably more than 300 accounts.
