What is a VPS, without the jargon?

A private slice of a larger server, reserved for you. The processing power and memory are yours alone, so a busy neighbour cannot slow your site down.

How do I know when to move up from shared hosting?

Usually when traffic grows and pages start feeling slower, or when you run something heavier such as a busy store or a custom application. If you are unsure, ask us and we will look at your current usage.

Do I have to manage the server myself?

Only if you want to. Tell us how hands-on you would like to be and we will confirm which option fits before you order.

What is the difference between VPS and cloud hosting?

Both give you dedicated resources. Cloud hosting adds room to grow quickly across pooled infrastructure, which suits sites with uneven or fast-rising traffic.
