Shared hosting or a VPS?

Both can host a website. The difference is how much control you need and how much you want to manage yourself.

Short answerPick shared hosting for WordPress, business websites and email. Pick a VPS when you need root access, custom software or guaranteed resources.

Choose shared hosting if

  • you run WordPress or another PHP website,
  • you want email on your own domain,
  • you prefer a control panel over the command line.

Choose a VPS if

  • you need software that shared hosting does not allow,
  • you run Node.js, Python, Java or Docker,
  • you need guaranteed resources or root access,
  • you want to host game servers, bots or a VPN.
