VPS hosting is considered to be the best option for SMBs since it offers independent environment and high security as compared to shared hosting. Below are some more benefits offered by VPS hosting for SMBs:

Increased Performance:
In VPS hosting, you are independent from other users unlike shared hosting plans where there are hundreds of users on the same server. This is important because websites that share he same server can get affected by one another, leading to technical issues. For example, if a website is sharing the same server as your business and it is receiving high traffic, it can slow down the other sites because of using the resources of others. When you use VPS hosting, other websites won't be able to interfere in your website's functionality.

Scalability

If you have a small business and do not have plans of expanding it, then you will be able to predict the amount of traffic your website will receive. But if you are planning to grow your business then there are chances that traffic will increase as the customer base increases and you will need more space to accommodate the traffic. A VPS helps to easily scale up the operations without disturbing the functionality of the server. Scaling up is almost similar to upgrading your hosting plan but without downtime. and so your site will continue to operate without any interruption.

Greater Control

With shared hosting, you don't get complete access to your server or root environment. But VPS hosting offers you root access to give your greater control on your server. So, by using VPS, your business will be able to freely install any necessary software changes within the server.

cPanel and Plesk are two types of control panels that help you to manage your hosting account.

OS:
cPanel is a Linux-based control panel that offers automation tools and user interface in order to help users easily manage their websites and hosting accounts.
Plesk is a Windows-based control panel that offers intuitive and multi-level hosting user interface that offer the users access based on their role, giving complete control to users on their website.

Extensions:
cPanel allows you to add extra apps as required with the one-click installers like Softaculous. But note that you get only few add-ons free.
Plesk offers pre-loaded with useful apps and extensions, therefore, the user does not need to add them, like WordPress Toolkit, Joomla Toolkit etc.

Security:
In terms of security cPanel offers automatic installation of SSL certificate, IP address denials and password protected directories.
But it takes lot of time to implement a security fix.
Plesk offers both free and commercial security features such as Fail2ban intrusion prevention, inbound and outbound email antispam and active directory integration.
It releases patches to PHP or apps like WordPress usually within 24 hours  which is very fast as compared to cPanel.

Domain parking means you purchase a domain name but you don't link it with any web services like email or web hosting. Instead, you “park” it for using it later – often with a landing page or holding page.

Generally, when users set up or start a website they plan to register their domain name for an annual fee. Then, they point the domain to a website so that the website appears when visitors visit the domain name.

There can be some cases, when users may just want to purchase the domain name initially and park it, keeping it ready for later use.

CMS is a content management system. To be more simple, a content management system is a tool that helps you in building a website without needing to code from scratch.

It is an alternative to developing your own system to create web pages, store images, and other functions, the content management system manages all that basic infrastructure stuff for you, allowing you to focus on more forward-facing parts of your website.

Apart from websites, you can also use content management systems for other functions such as document management.

There are several CMSs available online but the most popular one is WordPress since it's an open-source platform.

Slow Loading Speed: You might be knowing that if your site is loading slow, it won't be ranking in the top search results. Slow loading speed has a direct impact on rankings and ROI. Visitors don't like the site that takes a long time to load the requested page and so leave your website and turn up to your competitor's site. Ultimately, a website that isn't fast is a failed website.

Untrusted Technical Support: Today, businesses are moving towards customer-centric landscape. Therefore, it is important that both potential and prospective users receive the right information and good assistance at any time.

Therefore, it is important that you sign up with the a web host only after confirming about the security.
