Shared hosting and VPS hosting solve different problems. Understanding the trade-off prevents overspending or under-provisioning.

Shared hosting

Your site lives alongside others on the same server. It is affordable, easy to manage, and ideal for WordPress blogs, portfolios, and small business sites with moderate traffic.

VPS hosting

A virtual private server gives you dedicated CPU, RAM, and disk with root access. Choose VPS when you need custom software, predictable performance, or higher traffic volumes.

When to switch

Frequent slowdowns, CPU throttling, or the need for staging environments are strong signals to move from shared hosting to a Capnis VPS plan.
