When do need VPS?

The introduction of shopping carts and similar database driven applications to the web greatly increased its functionality, but it also greatly increased the amount of horsepower required to handle sites employing that technology. Ecommerce hosting is a big culprit, as shopping carts are one of the more complex web apps out there. If your store is sluggish and not responding as quickly as you'd like, then it might be time to reconsider your choice of the smallest budget hosting plan you could find.

Shared Hosting

In the standard shared environment most hosts provide, accounts are set up to share the operating system and the same set of applications. Designers looking to upgrade or extend the functionality of basic shared hosting are limited by lack of root access. Finally, shared environments share Sendmail, which places all users at risk of blacklisting if only one sends spam.

VPS Hosting

VPS accounts operate independently of each other. Each has its own operating system and applications, including Sendmail, and can be customized by the owner with new applications. VPS also affords the customer a certain minimum allowance of bandwidth and processor time, so one account cannot monopolize an entire server. VPS accounts utilize unique Sendmail, removing the danger of server-wide blacklisting.
