Frequently Asked Questions

Learn More
Resources — Plain and simple, Web Hosting is sharing a server with other websites, where Managed VPS Hostingprovides server resources dedicated to you.
Pricing — Web Hosting is generally cheaper because resources are shared with more users. Virtual Servers on the other hand, generally have fewer websites, but are more expensive.
Performance — The reason most people choose VPS over shared is because of performance. Their website or application has heavy resource demands, or they have a higher expectation of performance. VPS powered websites, when managed correctly (like we do here at DreamHost), are much faster and more responsive.
