With significant growth in traffic and the physical volume of stored data, internet projects require more resources and outgrow the capabilities provided by shared hosting services.
Every service has its own rationale, being logical at a certain stage from the perspective of allocated resources, convenience, deployment speed, and price.
Shared hosting has fixed plans with the possibility to upgrade to a maximum. For example, the Business+ plan's cost is already almost equivalent to that of a dedicated server.
If the advantage of shared hosting is its ease of use, then the advantage of a virtual private server (VPS) is its resource capacity and independence.
For most projects running on popular CMSs, there is a catalog of pre-installed applications, as well as the Web Stack environment - where all necessary services such as a web server and databases are already configured, and you only need to deploy your application from a backup. This solution allows you to manage without a control panel - which for a small number of sites is the best choice both in terms of reliability and price.
You can migrate from shared hosting to a VPS at any time. The flexible configuration of a virtual server allows you to choose the exact amount of resources your project needs, with the possibility of increasing them later.
When paying for services annually, the server migration and setup process is provided free of charge. You will only need to provide access credentials.
