Which is the best VPS for your site? MilesWeb or BlueHost

What is VPS?

A Virtual Private Server is just like a dedicated server but with a similar environment like shared hosting. Means it is the blend of both- shared and dedicated server.

This VPS server gives super user-level access to your server. This allows you to install any software or app on that server as per your requirement.

You can host your website on a VPS server with a dedicated amount of resources and you don't need to share this server space or resources with other websites as you do on a shared server. Though there may be other sites on the same VPS server as yours, but they won't affect the performance of your site nor the resources are shared.

Managed and unmanaged VPS are two main categories of a VPS server. In managed VPS server, all the server related tasks will be handled by the service provider. Tasks such as server security, server configuration, server maintenance, software update, etc. are handled in managed VPS hosting. While in unmanaged VPS, you will not get this level of support from their team. Hence, managed VPS hosting is always better to choose than the unmanaged one.
