SMALL BUSINESS WEB HOSTING

Shared hosting vs performance hosting: which fits the workload?

The right hosting class depends on traffic, application demands, growth and how much resource headroom the business needs.

PRACTICAL GUIDE

What to evaluate.

Shared hosting

A practical fit for many business websites when workloads are predictable and resource needs are moderate.

Performance hosting

Useful when applications, traffic or processing demand more headroom than a standard shared environment.

Traffic patterns

Plan for real peaks, campaigns and seasonal traffic rather than using monthly averages alone.

Application load

CMS plugins, databases, ecommerce and dynamic workloads can increase CPU and memory demand.

Operational margin

Leave room for growth so normal traffic increases do not force an immediate migration.

Measure before upgrading

Use actual performance symptoms and workload data to justify a higher tier instead of upgrading blindly.
