Comparison of VDS/VPS and shared hosting

1 min read

Advantages of VDS/VPS compared to shared hosting:

  • Full control: The owner of the virtual dedicated server receives root (for Unix) or Administrator (for Windows) access rights, and can fine-tune the server to the needs of a specific project, down to the installation of the necessary software and operating system changes.
  • Minimal restrictions: the number of created sites, databases, domain zones, ssh- ftp- email users is limited only by the server resources.
  • Independence: Virtual servers “neighbors” on the host machine are isolated and do not “pull” resources from each other, and use separate IP addresses, while on conventional shared hosting sites often use a single IP address.

Disadvantages of using VDS/VPS compared to shared hosting:

  • Price: the cost of renting a virtual dedicated server is usually significantly higher than the cost of shared hosting. But we offer comparable rates.
  • Necessity of administration: A virtual server must be administered like a physical one, so the user must have some knowledge and skills in this area. Having a control panel makes it easier to perform typical tasks: For our customers, we offer the ISPmanager panel.
