Short answer
Choose shared hosting for business websites, blogs and small shops: it is cheaper and we manage everything. Choose a VPS when you need your own guaranteed resources, root access or custom software, and you (or our managed service) can look after a server.

Stay on shared hosting if…
- You run a company website, a blog, a school or NGO site, or a small WooCommerce shop.
- You want email, SSL and backups looked after for you.
- You don’t want to manage a server.
Move to a VPS if…
- Your website has slowed down because it has outgrown shared resources.
- You need software that shared hosting doesn’t allow: Docker, background workers, a particular database, or Windows.
- You want an isolated environment of your own; our VPS plans run in international data centres in Europe and the USA.
The step in between
If your site is simply busy, cloud or corporate hosting gives you more guaranteed resources while we still manage everything.
