What Is VPS Hosting?
VPS hosting uses virtualization to give a hosting account a defined environment with more control and resource separation than typical shared hosting.
Why move to a VPS?
A VPS can make sense when a site needs more server control, more room for custom software, or a stronger resource allocation than shared hosting provides.
The tradeoff
Greater control can bring more management responsibility. Check whether the VPS is managed, what control panel is included, what backups are provided, and how server maintenance is handled.
