Pricing & Features Info: The price represented here for all companies is from their most affordable plan. All features making up this table is based on the most affordable plans offerings.

Why does server location matter? You will generally want your server hosted in the same country as your target audience.

Uptime and Server Response Times are monitored from known IPs hosted with the company.  Along with the provided tester IP.

I personally would never opt for a plan with shared CPUs. This defeats the entire purpose of getting vps hosting. All of the resources are suppose to be split-up. If I wanted to share the resources of the server I’d save money and go with entry level shared hosting.

What is VPS Hosting?

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. This video will explain the difference alot faster but it’s basically like the server is split up between fewer tenants:

vps hosting is like a condo
Like owning a condo. You do not share any resources with other tenants and they cannot use yours. Unlike shared hosting where you could be sharing server resources with up to 100 websites with none specifically reserved for your own website.

Who should consider hosting their website on a VPS?

  • Small business owners that need to know they always have resources available for incoming traffic and leads.
  • When your website demands more resources as a result of more traffic.
  • Online stores usually demand more processing power to function in a reasonable amount time.

VPS is the middle ground between entry level shared hosting and dedicated hosting.
