Hosting
A VPS is a slice of a server that belongs only to you. It gives you room and control — and asks for a little more responsibility in exchange.

One physical machine is divided into several independent virtual servers. Each has its own reserved cores, memory, storage and operating system, and nothing another customer does can consume your share.
You also get root access, so you decide which software versions run and how the firewall is configured.
None of these is about a visitor count alone.
Unmanaged is cheaper and expects you to handle patching, monitoring and hardening. Managed costs more and hands those jobs back to engineers. If nobody on your team is comfortable in a terminal at short notice, choose managed.
Choose a VPS with reserved resources and root access, or business hosting if you would rather we managed the server.
Business or cloud hosting gives you guaranteed resources with the familiar control panel and managed maintenance. For most growing sites that is the correct next step, and it needs no server administration at all.
Start modestly: two cores and four gigabytes of memory handle a great deal. Watch usage for a fortnight, then add resources. Over-provisioning on day one is the most common way to waste money on a VPS.
Copy files and databases first, test on a temporary address, lower your DNS TTL a day ahead, then switch. Keep the old plan for a week as insurance.
