The scalable upgrade options compared to a shared or dedicated are significant and make it extremely easy to upgrade. Take our recent upgrade for an example. We required more hard drive space and RAM and all it took was a few clicks and a call to our host and wholla it was upgraded. We didn't have to make any backups, migrate to another plan or server and/or migrate over to another piece of hardware. There was also zero downtime so that was a huge bonus! Be sure to check with your provider beforehand to see how much they can scale your VPS plan. Our hosts can turn our regular VPS plan into a full blown hybrid that has specs better than most dedicated servers. I’m a big fan of VPS solutions for growing a business online.

I think another factor to consider is the DIGG Effect. Even a nice dedicated can get so slammed it can't handle the traffic. In that case, a load balanced solution or a 'grid' hosting solution may be in order. I think the most important aspect should be 'fast scalability' or the ability to add resources quickly. A VPS or upgradeable dedicated should be looked at. I also think any serious person running a business should be on VPS at the very least and pay the additional $20-$30/mo for it (just for quick scalability).

We are located here in the Philippines and personally, I have experienced a lot of inquiries from our onlines support system, inquiring about our services. They ask from shared to colocated services. Yes, I very much agree with this article because there are a lot of things to consider when you want to purchase a service. Choosing from what you need and what you can get. You have to consider the space that you will need, do you need a 100MB of disk space? Or more? If you need higher disk space and higher bandwidth, you should consider having a dedicated server. But if you are conscious about your budget, try shared hosting. There are still a lot of things to consider aside from what package to get and the budget that we have. As a customer, you should also consider the support system of the web hosting company. Because I hear a lot about hosting companies that does not offer phone support and also does not reply to email inquiries. So in short look at the background of the company before making that contract. :D Thanks anyway for this article. It gives us ideas on what to consider before purchasing. We dont want to purchase a disk space that we will not use, and also purchase a bandwidth that is not enough.

On shared and reseller hosting, your host takes care of all mods, software, and security. You don't have to worry about anything that happens on the servers end. Managing a successful dedicated server (for hosting) now requires you to keep your customers in mind. You have to get into good habits, and learn to properly secure EVERYTHING. Not only are you going to need to also run backups, but you need to know everything about your server, secure-wise. You'll need this to recognize new threats, and/or attacks. Thus resulting in considerably more knowledge, and time. BLD Hosting Josh, it takes considerably more knowledge and skill to run a dedicated server, than to manage your shared hosting account.

I've used shared, reseller, and dedicated plans with my host (Eleven2), and I actually think the bigger plans have been every bit as easy to use. The guys at Eleven2 take care of everything for me.
