Starting with the right infrastructure is cheaper than migrating during peak load.
When shared hosting is enough
- Small corporate websites or landing pages
- WordPress without heavy integrations
- Predictable traffic without sudden spikes
When to move to VPS
- You need root access and your own environment
- You run multiple sites or services in one project
- Stable performance matters more than the lowest entry cost
When a dedicated server makes sense
- High and sustained workloads
- Large databases or resource-heavy queues
- Stronger isolation and full control over the stack
Before launch, estimate not only current traffic, but also headroom for campaigns, imports, backups and background jobs.
