Understanding VPS Hosting vs Shared Hosting vs Dedicated Servers
Choosing the right hosting type is the first step in building your online infrastructure. Each option offers different levels of performance, control, and cost.
Shared Hosting
- Multiple websites share a single server's CPU, RAM, and storage
- Limited configuration options -- no root access
- Performance impacted by other tenants on the same server
- Best for small personal sites and blogs with low traffic
VPS Hosting (Breezes)
- Virtualized server with dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage resources
- Full root access to install any software and configure as needed
- Resources are guaranteed and isolated from other users
- Scalable -- upgrade CPU, RAM, or storage as your needs grow
- Best for web applications, APIs, databases, and development environments
Dedicated Servers
- An entire physical server allocated to a single tenant
- Maximum performance with no virtualization overhead
- Full hardware control including BIOS, RAID, and network configuration
- Highest cost but best for resource-intensive workloads
When to Choose a Breeze
A Breeze is the right choice when you need more control and performance than shared hosting but do not require an entire physical server. Breezes offer the ideal balance of cost, flexibility, and power for most applications, from small web apps to production services handling thousands of users.
You can start with a small Breeze plan and scale resources up as your project grows, without any migration or downtime.
