Vps server refers to a kind of server space close to the cloud server and independent cluster server. It is mainly used to divide the physical server into multiple virtual private indoor spaces according to virtualization technology, with high coordination ability. The shared host means that all accounts in the shared hosting and other accounts in the host share host resources. Therefore, the two server types are quite different. Jtti will show you the specific differences between the two types.

Shared server

Shared host refers to the resources available in the host shared by all accounts in shared hosting, such as hardware and software resources. The CPU, RAM and disk space of the host are all shared. The main advantage of shared host is its low price. Many shared host operators provide shared host with low price and high price advantage. Many even offer free use for half a year or even a year. The low price is mainly due to the low cost of sharing the host, and the maintenance cost of the server is shared among multiple users. In the current server market, this hosting method has attracted many individual webmasters and small enterprise users. After renting the shared host, other users may be implicated in the performance of the website, because the traffic volume of the shared host is large, resulting in slow loading of website pages, and the webmaster has no right to access the server directly.

Vps server

Compared with the shared host, the vps server has more explanations. The vps server also belongs to the shared server, but the way of sharing the server is different. Users only need to pay for the leased resources after renting the vps server. Users can enjoy more functions and flexibility according to the fees paid. However, the vps server may still be affected by other users. For example, if some users try to run scripts that are not optimized or any operations that cause abnormal traffic, the situation of downtime also exists.

When should I choose VPS hosting or upgrade from shared hosting to it?

If the traffic of personal websites has increased significantly and more powerful website performance is needed to develop and operate websites, you can directly choose to rent vps servers, and maintain the security of vps servers in different ways, such as using automatic firewalls, larger capacity e-mail, etc.
