Choosing between shared hosting and a VPS is mostly about traffic, control and budget. Here’s the honest breakdown.
Shared hosting: the smart start
For most websites — blogs, portfolios, small business sites, new stores — shared hosting from $1.99/mo is all you need. You get SSL, backups and DDoS protection without managing a server.
VPS: when you need real power
Once you’re pushing serious traffic, running custom applications, or need full root access, a VPS gives you dedicated CPU, RAM and storage that no neighbor can touch.
