VPS hosting is an affordable option when your business requirements outgrow the capacity of shared hosting. It’s the next logical step: substantially more capacity and control for just a bit more money.VPS offers a number of advantages over shared hosting. As a VPS user, you can: Run specific applications not allowed in shared plans, such as custom forums. Access additional capacity – fewer customers share each server. Enjoy the reduced risk that your business will be disrupted due to a co-hosted site on the server. Be independent. If another customer compromises his or her VPS, yours won’t be affected.

Two words: cost and maintenance. Running your own dedicated server is possible, but comes at a higher cost and is self-managed. You will need to keep up with patches, hardware upgrades, and server maintenance and storage. If you try to cut corners and set up a dedicated server on the cheap, you will probably end up with lower grade hardware with high risks of failure.
You can also rent dedicated servers, but the price is substantially more than a VPS. A VPS offers the perfect step between the constraints of a shared hosting plan and the commitment of a dedicated server. You’ll have a lot more flexibility, capacity, and control – at an affordable price.

Using VPS hosting does not have to be much more complicated than using a shared hosting service – but some prior experience in hosting will be an asset. Remember: a VPS lets you take control of your server space. It’s good if you have some basic technical knowledge to do so. It’s also a logical step to take when you’ve outgrown a shared hosting environment.
