If you need reasons why to shift from Shared Hosting to VPS Host then read below the top 10 reasons.

Virtual Private Server

1. VPS Hosting is a Must for Growing Websites

Being a webmaster you cannot predict that when you will receive a huge amount of traffic to your websites or blogs. Thus to never take a single downtime it is better thing that you shift to VPS before you starts loosing you customers due to slow performance. Thus VPS Hosting is a must for growing websites.

2. VPS Hosting Gives You Dedicated Resources

Unlike Shared Host, VPS Host never limits your resources with your other peers hosted in the same server. VPS is allotted always with dedicated resources for which you have opted. Thus sifting to VPS Host will give you dedicated resources and you do not need to compromise with the hardware resource availability.

3. VPS Hosting is Standing Good in SEO Point of Views

In the hundreds of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques website loading speed is also one of the factor which will help you to get top rank in the search engine. If your website is slow then search engine will put your web pages below and below that causes a huge loss in traffic. Thus if you on Shared Host and getting much of visitors about 5000 to 8000 in a day, you must shift to VPS as soon as possible.

4. VPS Hosting is Not Punished with Other Hosts

In Shared Host, there are hundreds of websites are stored and all of them uses the same and one resource of the server. If some of the websites start using more resources than other websites may lags due to less availability of hardware resources. In between this time your website may lose the fast loading speed even if you are using and Cache Plugin or not.

In VPS the story is totally different, the hardware resources are virtually divided and provided to web hosts. That means whatever your peer does; you will not get affected with their activities. Thus it is better idea to shift to VPS Host.

Unlike Shared hosting, you have not any small numbers of limits for handling the huge traffic. Where Shared Host is capable to handle 200,000 visitors in a month, VPS are capable to handle more than millions of traffic in a month.

The above metrics are the soft limits, and not the accurate. You can bear more traffic if you are using less images and speedy and minimal kind of themes.

    Hi Atul,

    For me, you should move if you have bad neighbors and if you want more support. VPS is much better since you basically have the whole space for you. Shared is okay but when you hit 500 traffic or so, better find for better options.
