Which hosting is right for me: Shared Web Hosting or Virtual Private Server?
Virtual Private Server, also known as VPS hosting, is a very exciting technology that allows "virtualization" of a single VPS Server Hardware Node, into many Virtual Environments (VPS servers). Each such environment is a fully contained operating system with its own set of system tools and commands as well as its own RAM, CPU and Hard Drive storage.
Need a certain version of PHP4 or PHP5 or a certain module for the Apache web server? Need RoR? Need PCI Compliance? You can make it all happen with linux VPS hosting, because a cheap virtual private server is all you need to launch your "killer app" or host your business reliably. The flexibility, independence and security of even the cheapest VPS is far superior to anything you have experienced in the past.

Shared Web Hosting is also known as Virtual Hosting. This is the traditional method of publishing your website on the Internet. Many websites are placed on the same physical server and share the resources on a first-come-first-serve basis. We monitor workloads to ensure that a single website does not overwhelm the server and cause an outage for other users. This works well for a majority of customers because it's such a flexible package, offering more hosting features than any typical website needs. We are able to provide virtually unlimited hosting due to the extremely powerful hardware and robust operating system software. And as servers grow more powerful, we consolidate more customers per server and lower prices for everyone. The Unlimited package, at just $4 per month, is the best value in shared web hosting.
Good question to ask: Why would a client chose a VPS instead of shared web hosting? There are several reasons:
- Your website is too important to host on a shared server.
- Business websites require as maximum uptime.
- Email hosting on a clean private IP to keep off blacklists.
- Ecommerce website for merchant PCI Compliance.
- Website receives too much traffic.
- Your website is simply too important to host on a shared server!
- Private, white label hosting for your clients.
- You really want a dedicated server but can't afford it.
- VOIP Server or Video Game Server.
- Streaming audio or video.
- Newly launched social networking website.
- Fast MySQL Virtual Private Server to speed up your main website.
- Customized Development environment.
- Remote backup or D-R (Disaster Recovery)
- Your website is absolutely too important to host on a shared server.
Most importantly, VPS Hosting is an upgrade from shared web hosting because of how it manages the resources of the Hardware Node. Instead of competing with a thousand other websites on a standard web hosting server, you are only sharing with a handful of clients. If your neighbor runs a high load, it has minimal impact on your VPS, because you are guaranteed a certain "slice" of CPU, RAM and I/O time.
The eBoundHost.com Linux Virtual Private Server is a powerful and very affordable tool. A single modern VPS Hardware Node is more powerful than a cluster of servers from just a few years ago. Today's VPS hosting is up to 90% cheaper than a Dedicated Server and offers 95% of the features. At this price there is no reason to share your hosting platform with other customers. Just a few dollars a month buys a lot more independence, performance, features and security. VPS hosting is the next logical step, because your website is important.
