Unlike a shared hosting server, a VPS guarantees a fixed amount of the resources to your needs at all times. This is why shared servers make sense for hosting personal websites such as blogs, or other websites with low traffic.įor businesses and professionals, the next best option is VPS. The only upside to such sharing of resources however is the low cost of entry. This results in slow response times on websites, among other issues. In a shared hosting server, the resources of the server can be shared between hundreds, if not thousands of other clients. This is in stark contrast to other popular hosting servers, such as shared hosting or Virtual Private Servers ( VPS), where you share the resources with other clients on the same physical server.
