Moving up to a dedicated server eventually should not be feared, but you do need to learn what you are doing. However, the move will be a necessity eventually to maintain growth and keep your visitors coming back. A shared account is nothing more then a starting point for those with high ambitions.

However it all depends on budget, allot of companies start their businesses with dedicated hosting from the begging while other newbies start with shared hosting.

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.

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.

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.
