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.
