VPS vs shared hosting: what's the difference?

Both host your website, but they suit different needs. Here is the simple version.

Shared hosting puts many websites on one server that share its resources. It is affordable, fully managed and perfect for small business sites, brochure websites and getting started.

VPS hosting gives you your own reserved CPU, RAM and storage, plus optional root access. Your performance is not affected by other customers, and you can install custom software and configure the server your way.

Choose shared hosting if you want simplicity and low cost. Choose a VPS if you need:

• More power for a busy or growing website
• Root access and custom software
• Consistent performance that is not shared with others
• Room to host multiple sites or apps

Both are billed in AED and managed from my.dirhamaday.ae. If you are unsure which fits your business, our UAE team can recommend the right option on WhatsApp at +971 58 553 6767.
