Naturally, the choice of which flavor of VPS to pick is up to you, so the only question left is – do you really need one right now? Let’s try to answer it together.

3 Reasons You Might Need a Virtual Private Server

To put it simply, not everyone needs a VPS – at least not from the get-go. If you’re starting a new site from scratch, chances are you’ll be better off using a shared hosting option.

However, if you already have some experience under your belt and you feel like it’s time to make a change, here are three good reasons why you should consider opting for a VPS.

1. You’ve Outgrown Shared Hosting

As your site continues to grow, chances are you’ll need to consider moving on from shared hosting at some point. The next logical step in the chain is to think about switching to a VPS.

If your site is starting to feel sluggish despite all your best attempts at optimization, or you’re constantly receiving enough traffic to hinder its performance, then it’s probably time to upgrade your hosting plan.

2. You Need More Control Over Your Hosting Environment

With a VPS, you get far more control over your entire setup than what shared hosting plans can offer you. For example, you can choose which operating system to use, as well as which control panel.

On top of that, some hosts enable you to choose specific amounts for each type of resource, such as storage and RAM, whereas others provide you with more traditional plans. Either way, you still get many more options out of the box.

3. You’re Not Ready for a Dedicated Server

As we mentioned earlier, VPSs are somewhere in the middle of the road between shared hosting and dedicated servers. While in most cases you can scale your VPS to accommodate more demanding sites, the chances are you won’t be able to match the performance of a dedicated alternative.

That’s not to say that VPSs are inherently worse than dedicated servers, though – it’s all a matter of hardware. After all, VPSs enable multiple users to enjoy the benefits of dedicated setups using a single server. On the other hand, a dedicated server – as its name implies – is all about satisfying the needs of a single customer.

To top things off, dedicated servers tend to be far more expensive than VPSs. This makes them better suited towards websites that are already well-established.

If you can’t justify spending a significant amount of money over the long term on your site just yet, chances are you should stick with a VPS, at least for the time being.
