Which is better, Premium Shared Hosting or a Virtual Private Server?

There is no ‘better’. They are different approaches to hosting a website. Premium Shared Hosting is an optimised, controlled platform, providing high performance shared website hosting using the latest technology. A Virtual Private Server can provide all this with the added ability to administer, configure, amend and access the server however you choose. That additional power costs more, and may not best meet your needs. One thing that shouldn’t be an issue is the expertise traditionally required to manage a VPS system. We offer managed VPS so you needn’t feel intimidated by the added complexity. If you’re unsure, please call us and we’ll help you work through the options.
