If you’re a Shared Hosting customer (with Namecheap or another provider), take a moment to answer the following questions:
- Is your website gaining traffic?
- Is your website speed slowing down?
- Is your website facing downtime?
- Is your website an e-commerce one?
If you answered “yes” to any of the above, chances are it’s time to move on up, hosting-wise. Remember that entry-level Shared Hosting typically suits 1-3 websites and provides just enough resources to establish and maintain your small business/project’s online presence.
The main reason for limiting the number of websites on Shared Hosting is what we call the Noisy Neighbor problem — or the fact that when one Shared Hosting customer makes a mistake or experiences a technical difficulty, it’ll likely impact other sites because you are all sharing space on the same machine.
As your business grows, you might consider other hosting options, As with any investment, choose wisely. You don’t want to lose out on potential growth or suffer a business loss due to a lack of resources needed for proper hosting of your website.
In terms of cost, Shared Hosting is definitely the most affordable option, VPS (Virtual Private Server) Hosting sits comfortably in the middle, and Dedicated Server Hosting is the priciest of the bunch.
To help make your decision, let’s break down some of the top signs that you’ve outgrown your current Shared Hosting plan as well as walk you through the different types of hosting out there and how they compare to one another.
Is Everything Optimized?
First and foremost, check to see if there are any issues with optimization, both on your server and your respective website(s). How? By analyzing their respective performance.
This simply means recognizing when your server is slow and investigating any errors or warnings that appear on your server logs. This might just be the result of a poorly-optimized service such as MySQL. Although it’s possible for you to check this yourself, a hosting provider’s support team can help to make sure.
If you’ve also started to add more content (files and pages) to your website and you’ve noticed an increase in user traffic, this is the perfect time to test your website’s ability to handle concurrent users. Our recommendations? The handy k6 tool and PageSpeed Insights from Google.
