Top Most Blogger

Suppose you are a growing blogger and your website is hosted on normal shared hosting server. One day you have received an urgent message from your web host regarding too much load from your website and your web host warns you to upgrade your hosting package to VPS or dedicated, then what will you do?

If you do not shift your blog to VPS then possibly your web host might suspend your shared hosting account. In this condition your website will be down and inaccessible for website visitors.

So you have only one choice and it is shifting your blog to VPS server or Virtual Private Server.

What is a VPS server

VPS server is a virtual dedicated server and resources for your website are reserved. No one can use your server RAM and processor.
VPS is a pretty costly hosting type in comparison with shared hosting. Whereas on one side you can buy a shared hosting plan only for $5-$8/month, on the other side you have to pay around $50/month for a full featured managed VPS plan with cpanel.

Problems in using VPS

VPS is a fantastic choice and it provides full opportunity to grow a heavy traffic websites. But it might create problems for those bloggers who have to upgrade their server due to overload on shared server and they do not have proper knowledge to maintain VPS CPU processes and more. More over they must have basic knowledge of Linux even on managed VPS.

What happened if you are unable to manage your VPS server

• Your website may be down from several locations
• Your website may get frequent internal server errors
• Your website may be slow 
• Your website may be completely blocked due to server hang ( CPU and RAM overload)

It is the only reason why beginners should not shift their website direct to VPS from shared server and try an alternative way till when they get proper knowledge to control VPS server

Alternative Way for VPS 

I have made a deep research on possible alternatives to VPS those are easy to manage and perfect for beginners and I have listed two alternatives here.

BlueHost Pro Package

BlueHost is one of the best hosting provider and its name comes along with Hostgator. BlueHost Pro Package is a very special type of business hosting plan which works like VPS. It is a VIP shared server where you get  much more RAM and CPU resources than normal shared server.


BlueHost sales representative told me that on ProPackage server they provide 32GB RAM and 20+ cores CPU. He told that they host only selective and clean users on ProPackage server.
BlueHost promises speed,more resources and security on ProPackage server and you can host a website with heavy traffic on it.
