Are There Disadvantages To Vps Hosting?

Many think that when theyre unhappy with their shared web hosting

, VPS is the next natural choice. While theyre not wrong and VPS does have a ton of benefits to offer, if you choose the wrong web host you can find out all too soon that it can also have disadvantages.

The biggest disadvantage is that your website will be on the same server as other websites. Ideally your site will be virtually partitioned off from all other sites and nothing you do to your site will affect them, and vice versa. But sometimes when you use a web host that doesnt allocate the services properly, using a VPS can interfere with your website. This can be very disappointing, as that interference can result in the complete crash of your site.

So why does this happen when your website is supposed to be virtually separate from all the other sites on that same VPS?

Its nearly always because the web host has wrongly assumed that the websites on the server wouldnt use anywhere near their capacity of their resources. Because of that, they have oversold the space on their server and so, one website will eventually begin to use the resources of the other. When that happens, there can unfortunately be very little that you can do, as the resources are already being used by another site.

So how can you make sure this wont happen to you when you want to use a VPS?

Simply, research any web host thoroughly before you choose them as your VPS host. Make sure that you ask them for referrals and that you speak to the names that are given to you. When you do be sure to ask them if they ever had any problems with their website, and what the reason for the problem was. If their site was ever shut down, ask how long it took to get it back up and running; and how often it happened.

In addition to the stability of the service provided, the price can also sometimes be a disadvantage of VPS. It is true that VPS will cost much less than dedicated hosting, but it will also be more expensive than shared hosting. When people are first making the switch to VPS, they often think its going to be considerably less and so, the price can sometimes surprise them. While affordable VPS hosting is still easy to find, dont go into it thinking that youre going to get the service for just pennies, either.

VPS does come with a lot of benefits and typically, shared hosting is just never an option for business websites. But there can also be disadvantages that come with this type of hosting price and service being two of them. By knowing what they are though, you can make sure that you avoid those disadvantages and get the most out of your VPS services.
