Shared hosting, VPS or dedicated server: how to choose

Shared hosting, VPS or dedicated server: how to choose

By Magnetic Clouds Engineering

Choosing hosting is a trade-off between cost, control and capacity.

Managed cloud hosting

Best for brochure sites, blogs and small stores. We look after the server and you manage your site through Plesk — affordable, secure and fast thanks to LiteSpeed and NVMe storage. See cloud hosting plans.

Cloud VPS

Best for growing stores, SaaS apps and custom software. You get guaranteed CPU and RAM, root access and freedom to install anything — or choose a managed VPS if you would rather not be on call. See Cloud VPS plans.

Dedicated servers

Best for high-traffic platforms, large databases and compliance-sensitive workloads: no noisy neighbours and full control of the hardware. See dedicated servers.

Rule of thumb

Monthly visitors Recommendation
Under 50k Managed cloud hosting
50k – 1M Cloud VPS 2–4
Over 1M Cloud VPS 8 or dedicated
