Some clients tend to get the wrong idea about virtual private servers (VPS). They believe that spending more means getting better speed. However, this is not the whole idea of VPS. VPS is a standalone server more suitable for administration level and customisation of an application. Therefore, having VPS does not necessarily mean that you will automatically speed up your website. When Do You Need VPS?
However, if you are running an e-commerce website you might not get the performance that you require. Although you can always boost your website performance by adding an optimised webserver to your Linux VPS “LiteSpeed”, this, unfortunately, might not be enough for your website in the long run. If your website performance is slow and you want to move to a better server, a proper analysis should be performed on the website itself. The analysis can help identify the root cause of latency and suggest corrective actions to enhance the website speed. Based on the findings, you can decide which hosting option you should move to. Why do Shared Hosting, at times, provide better website speed compared to VPS? The key difference depends on how resources are divided. With shared hosts, it’s essentially a type of a free-for-all kind of service: Whoever grabs the resources first gets to use them. For example, if the server has 16GB of memory, then a single website out of 100 websites hosted on the same server could potentially end up using almost all of it.
