How do I choose between a VPS and a web hosting plan? Print

If you've used a web hosting plan before, then using a VPS is the next logical step up.

It provides you with even more options, including root access, access to Apache and PHP.ini (modification of PHP variables), and much more. You can also install an SSL certificate, and all software program types. In short, you get more freedom in terms of administering and configuring your server, without the hassle of managing any physical hardware.

Please note that by opting for a VPS, you will need to choose a configuration that best suits your application's requirements, and adapt your configuration to fit your growing needs.
