5 signs that you need a virtual server

With the development of the project, the site needs new hosting resources or even a tariff update. We will tell you at what point you need to change virtual hosting to a virtual server.

Website slow loading

The more content on your site, the slower it loads. Most often this happens due to the achievement of the limits of the hosting tariff. To reduce the loading time of the page and increase the speed of the site, you just need to update it from the hosting plan to the virtual server.

The site will be popular

Shared hosting plans cannot eliminate much traffic. For example, a typical site is visited by 100 people a day. If the number of visitors reaches 1000, the general hosting tariff will not be able to withstand. Let's make an analogy with filling the hall with people. Imagine that you organized an event for 100 people. But each of them brought 3 friends with them. There is not enough space for everyone, many remain outside the doors. Thus, with virtual hosting, its resources end with an increased load. For this reason, there is a need to update the tariff for the virtual server.

There was an error when starting the service

It is important that all pages of the site are accessible. Imagine that the user chooses a product on the site. It clicks on the product link and takes the error page... Most likely, it will close your site and will never return to the calculation. Errors 503, 504, 507, 508 may mean that your site is within limits. All available resources are exhausted. Update your shared hosting plan or upgrade to a virtual server to get new ones.

Confidential information on the site

If the site contains confidential information, uses online payment, user requirements and agreements, it is recommended to place it on a separate server. Let's say you rented a place to work in a common room. Put the laptop, organizer, documents in the folder on the table. Strangers also work in such a space. You will leave for a few minutes, and important files will be stolen from the table! This would not have happened if you had a separate office. It is much easier for hackers to attack sites in a common hosting, since they are located at the same IP address. Increase data security and security with a Virtual server.

You need to install software or some applications

Shared hosting plans do not allow you to install your own application. This requires a virtual or dedicated server.
