If your website is growing, it’s only a matter of time before you’ll need more power than shared hosting can provide. Business Hosting delivers the same power and performance as a Virtual Private Server (VPS) without the pain of server administration. You get all the RAM, CPU and bandwidth you need without having to hire an IT pro to manage your server.

- Shared hosting is an inexpensive way to get your sites up on the web.
- A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is more powerful, but costs more than shared hosting, and requires experience with server administration.
- Business hosting is a balance between the two, offering the power of a VPS with the ease of shared hosting.
