When should I upgrade from shared hosting to a VPS? Print

  • 0

Shared hosting is great for most small to medium sites, but consider a VPS when:

  • You regularly hit resource limits (CPU, Entry Process, IO or 508 errors) even after caching and optimizing.
  • Your traffic has grown and pages slow down at peak times.
  • You run resource-heavy software - large WooCommerce stores, custom apps, or your own Redis.
  • You need root access, custom server settings, or dedicated resources for reliability.

A VPS gives you guaranteed CPU and RAM that aren't shared with other accounts, plus more control. Before upgrading, make sure you've optimized first - sometimes caching and cleanup are all you need. To compare plans, check your client area, or open a ticket with your domain and current usage and we'll recommend the right VPS size and help with the migration.
