That will help set the groundwork for how VPS hosting is different!<\/p>\n<p>Almost every hosting provider offers shared plans, and they are usually the cheapest option available. This makes shared hosting a great choice for new sites with small budgets.<\/p>\n<p>When you purchase a shared hosting plan, you rent space on one of the provider\u2019s servers. As the name suggests, this means you\u2019ll be sharing the server with lots of other sites.

You actually\u00a0&#8220;share&#8221; your server&#8217;s resources with other sites, which means that if another site has issues, that can spill over to your site (<em>though good shared hosts will try to mitigate this<\/em>). Furthermore, you can\u2019t customize your server in any way and the security risks are greater than with other types of hosting because infections can spread if your host doesn&#8217;t have proper isolation.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, many people with shared hosting plans inevitably consider upgrading. While there are a few options, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Virtual_private_server\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VPS hosting<\/a> is the natural next step. With a VPS plan, you still share a physical server with other users. However, you get your own virtual environment that&#8217;s isolated from everyone else. So instead of sharing your server&#8217;s resources, you now have a slice that&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>all your own<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll pay a bit more for the privilege, although many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/hosting\/vps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VPS plans<\/a> are still fairly affordable:<\/p>\n<p><img data-opt-id=1285589282  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-img-std aligncenter wp-image-14278 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png\" alt=\"VPS vs shared hosting usually means a price increase\" width=\"1899\" height=\"765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1899\/h:765\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 1899w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:300\/h:121\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 300w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:768\/h:309\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 768w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1024\/h:413\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 1024w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:50\/h:20\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 50w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:480\/h:193\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 480w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:794\/h:320\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 794w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1200\/h:483\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 1200w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:296\/h:119\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 296w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:390\/h:157\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 390w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:270\/h:109\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 270w, https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1899\/h:765\/q:mauto\/f:best\/dpr:2\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dreamhost-vps-plans.png 2x\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>VPS is essentially the middle ground between shared and dedicated hosting (getting your own physical server).

It\u2019s easier to upgrade rather than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/switch-wordpress-hosting-providers\/\">switching providers<\/a>. Simply contact your host&#8217;s support team, and they\u2019ll be happy to help you out.<\/p>\n<p>If that&#8217;s not an option for some reason, our advice is to look for a provider that has a solid reputation, is knowledgeable about WordPress, and offers plenty of scalability in its plans.<\/p>\n<p>For more help with this process, you can check out our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-blog-hosting\/\">choosing a quality web host<\/a>.
