Is it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/shared-hosting-vs-vps\/\">VPS vs shared hosting<\/a> or maybe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/vps-hosting\/difference-between-shared-vps-dedicated-hosting\/\">dedicated<\/a>? You want to be cost-conscious, but still have the bandwidth and operating power needed to run your website efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This often brings up the comparison between Shared Hosting and the managed VPS server. The good news, you can always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/amp\/upgrade-downgrade-hosting-plan\/\">upgrade or downgrade your plan<\/a> if you realize later you may not have selected the right option. However, let us explain the pros and cons of shared and managed VPS hosting so you can make the best decision for now and the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#shared\">Pros and Cons of Shared Hosting<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#vps\">Pros and Cons of VPS Hosting<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#evaluate\">Evaluate Your Business To Make The Best Decision<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#vps-or-shared\">So, Is It VPS or Shared Hosting?<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shared\">Pros and Cons of Shared Hosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shared Business Hosting is typically an inexpensive option, so it\u2019s immediately attractive for business owners. It\u2019s also easy to set up, and you won\u2019t have to make any significant changes to your server. This is because InMotion\u2019s System Architecture team has optimized the shared server environment to be compatible with most popular website configurations. But, this also means that you have limited access to the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that with shared hosting you have to share resources with other customers on the same physical server. When you share a server, your website could slow down if another website experiences a high traffic volume. There are also more security concerns with shared hosting since any issues from another site could potentially transfer to, or at least affect the performance of, yours as well. A common example is if your shared IP address blacklisted because another user has been sending spam and spoofed emails.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"jumbotron\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Reliable Shared Hosting for Growing Businesses<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Get the performance your business website demands with NVMe SSD storage, industry-standard cPanel management, and direct access to hosting experts whenever you need assistance.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/design.inmotionhosting.com\/assets\/icons\/standard\/check-blue.svg\" alt=\"check mark\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" \/>Free Website Migration &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/design.inmotionhosting.com\/assets\/icons\/standard\/check-blue.svg\" alt=\"check mark\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" \/>24\/7 Human Support &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/design.inmotionhosting.com\/assets\/icons\/standard\/check-blue.svg\" alt=\"check mark\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" \/>100% Money-Back Guarantee<\/p>\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/shared-hosting?mktgp=t&irgwc=1&affiliates=5001860&utm_campaign=Jumbotron&utm_source=supportcenter&utm_medium=cta&utm_term=shared-cta2\">Shared Hosting<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vps\">Pros and Cons of VPS Hosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While shared hosting is usually the cheaper option, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/vps-hosting\">VPS hosting<\/a> usually won\u2019t break the bank. And when you compare the benefits, most business owners agree the slightly higher price is worth it for the benefits. Since you don\u2019t have to share resources, your website performance will be fully dependent upon your website traffic and technical knowledge of speed optimization techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, with a VPS you have the ability to request root access to your server and WebHost Manager (WHM), the application that allows hosting providers and resellers to manage cPanel accounts. This gives you full control (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/server\/ssh\/\">SSH<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/whm\/\">WHM<\/a>) of how your virtual server environment is set up and allows for custom configurations to the operating system. If you\u2019re not sure if you need root access, see our guide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/server\/ssh\/do-i-need-root-access\/\">When Do I Need Root Access?<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that our plans are scalable, so you can upgrade at any time to support your business growth. There aren\u2019t many drawbacks to VPS hosting, other than the price being a little more expensive and having defined storage and bandwidth limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"evaluate\">Evaluate Your Business To Make The Best Decision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any business decision, you have to take a close look at your needs to determine whether shared hosting or VPS hosting is right for you. If you have a small website with minimal traffic, then shared hosting is likely a good fit. But if you need a little more flexibility and want more control over your website operations, then VPS hosting is the way to go. Incorporate the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/themes\/which-wordpress-themes-are-best-for-vps-accounts\/\">WordPress VPS themes <\/a>and you\u2019ll be well on your way to designing the website you need to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vps-or-shared\">So, Is It VPS or Shared Hosting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>InMotion Hosting offers WordPress website hosting as well as many other services to help your business website succeed.
