There are various benefits of VPS hosting over dedicated server and shared server hosting.
In a shared hosting environment, resources including RAM, processor speed, CPU utilization, disk space, storage space are shared by multiple websites who are on the same server. This runs the risk of service interruption because neighboring websites on the same sever might extract maximum out of the available resources leaving very little for your website. This is a dangerous scenario that can lead to service degradation. Website downtime means loss of customers due to dissatisfaction. This does not happen in VPS hosting as your website gets sufficient disk space, CPU utilization, unique IP address, separate network bandwidth to meet the requirements.
In a dedicated server environment, you have to pay the fixed monthly bill irrespective of your service and resources usage. So you should only go for a dedicated connection if you can forecast consistently high web traffic on your website. Or else you run the risk of increasing your business TCO. Only sites experiencing constant high traffic can gain profit out of a dedicated connection. For sites having sporadic increase or seasonal increase on web traffic, VPS hosting service is a wise choice.
You get complete control over your resources; installing software/application on your machine is not an issue. All this is offered at an affordable price unlike a dedicated connection. Server management, running scripts, installing customized applications is not an issue in VPS hosting service.
Better security is offered in a VPS hosting environment than shared environment. In a shared environment, server is shared by multiple sites thus resulting in a risk affair where neighboring sites can perform malicious activities on your machine giving way for website hacking.
Hence VPS hosting is more than useful when compared to other options.
