I think that risks such as infrastructure availability are very difficult to control. And therefore, uptime guarantees are most likely a necessity dictated by competition in the market. I don’t know how many providers have, but Neymecheap for example, the uptime guarantee is quite real and for a couple of years using their hosting I even managed to use it. They do not return the money, but they often compensate for the problematic days and you do not pay for hosting these days.

I was on a shared hosting plan when my host went down. The staff said they didn’t have the backup files for my website when I requested it, so I had to restart the site from scratch. I was also at fault because I didn’t back it up often enough, though. My question is do you provide free backup for VPS and if yes how many copies will be available.

Rahul, perfect inside scoop on VPS hosting. I see the great impact after moving from shared server to my own VPS. I have my VPS with so-called known Web host. But, I am not satisfied at some extent. My server freezes for 30-40 minutes on daily basis in pick hours. The host says there is no issue. But, I assume they have oversold VPS on the host server. I am planning to move my site from their server to VPS that I am purchasing from you. I have a concern of data migration. I have a single site with one MSSQL database. The total size of files and databases is less than 1 GB. Will your support team assist me in migration?

Thanks, Cloudia! Great choice. Well, it can happen if you overload your server. You should first see the resource requirement of your site. Based on that select the best VPS plan for your site and you are good to go. If you still face any trouble, don’t sweat it. Just contact our sales team to find the best plan for you.

Thank you for your opinion, Sid !! Undoubablty, for a small website, shared hosting is the best option.It is fact that shared hosting servers are maintained with a great care. However, you always have a small number of resources of disk, bandwidth, memory on it.

I can’t say it as a disadvantage of VPS hosting because many of our VPS hosting customers have server administrator to manage their VPS and they manage it in very efficiently manner. But this doesn’t everyone must have server administrator, we have content-rich knowledge base on VPS hosting for our self-managed customers.Also, a managed service option at very affordable price.

Very concise and accurate post on VPS hosting, Rahul !
I am shared hosting customer and I am thinking to switch to VPS hosting but I have heard that VPS hosting causes many slowness issues due to RAM,VCPU high usage. I am not sure about the facts about it.

Nice read Rahul ! While you compare all hosting types, I would like to point out one important thing related to shared hosting. Undoubtedly, VPS hosting has become the most popular hosting type in short span, but shared hosting has its own benefits. First and most important one is – Shared Hosting is by Default Fully Managed, that means you don’t have to worry about security of your website, server updates, software update, spamming from your mailboxes, etc.

Shared web servers are equipped with high-end paid security tools, which will identify if any spamming occurs from your account or any malicious script is uploaded on your website. Your web host will take care of it as soon such mishaps take place. With VPS hosting, you cannot enjoy this freedom unless you pay for managed services.

I agree, Mike. What you pay extra in money, you get in customer satisfaction and quality of service. It’s really worth every penny if you ask me.

In my opinion, having a VPS has become a necessity for any person who owns a website for the purpose of growing their business. Shared hosting just doesn’t cut it anymore.
