Ookma-Kyi Posted April 18, 2024 Posted April 18, 2024 (edited) The cheapest VPS plan is $4 for Memory: 2 GB CPUs: 2 Storage: 50 GB How does this compare to the memory and cpu you get with shared hosting? Edited April 18, 2024 by Ookma-Kyi Quote
MoneyBroz Posted April 18, 2024 Posted April 18, 2024 You have all of the specifications to your self on a VPS and you won't get suspended if you go over a certain amount unlike on shared hosting where the restrictions are a lot lower then they would be on a VPS. Quote
MoneyBroz Posted April 18, 2024 Posted April 18, 2024 Also you can install whatever you want on a VPS unlike shared hosting to where you have to use what is already installed. Quote
wolstech Posted April 18, 2024 Posted April 18, 2024 To give an idea of the conversion, the shared hosting's "100GB/day" memory limit is roughly equivalent to one process using 60MB continuously (node apps especially tend to use more than this, and PHP can do similar if there's a lot of traffic or inefficient, long running code like WP installed). With a VPS, you can use the entire 1GB 24/7 if you need to. For CPU, the shared server has several cores, and you get to use a certain % of the available CPU time, with too much resulting in suspension. On a VPS, you can peg it continuously without issue. Keep in mind all you get on a VPS by default is an empty linux box with SSH access. You'll need to actually install a web server on it (most people just put a control panel like Hestia or Keyhelp on it). Quote
