Shared or VPS hosting?
Shared hosting (107,65 Kč/mo) is ideal for beginners, blogs, portfolios and smaller businesses with up to 30,000 visits per month. VPS hosting (420,73 Kč/mo) is the right choice when you outgrow shared — you have 50,000+ visits, web applications with a specific configuration, you need root access, or you require full resource isolation. 10 signs to upgrade: the site gets slow, RAM/CPU limits, restricted email lists, plugin issues, the need for Node.js/Python, e-commerce revenue. Start on shared, upgrade to VPS when the signal arrives.

Shared and VPS hosting — what is the difference?
Choosing between shared hosting and VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting is one of the most common dilemmas when picking hosting for a site. Both types have their pros and cons, and the right choice depends on your specific needs, budget and technical knowledge.
Shared hosting can be compared to living in an apartment building — you share common resources (CPU, RAM, network) with other tenants (other sites on the same server). The advantage is a low price and simplicity, but if your neighbor throws a party (has high traffic), it can affect your site.
VPS hosting is like having your own apartment in the building — you have guaranteed resources that are fully isolated from other users. Performance is predictable and does not depend on others, you have more control (root access), but the price is higher. For more detailed information about a VPS, see our guide on VPS servers.

Cost analysis: Shared vs VPS
The price difference between shared and VPS hosting is significant. BeoHosting shared hosting plans start at 107,65 Kč per month (1 291,79 Kč per year), while VPS plans start at around 705,13 Kč per month. That is a significant difference in the entry price.
However, price should not be the only factor. If your site has high traffic or requires a specific configuration, cheaper shared hosting can actually cost more in the long run — through lost visitors due to a slow site, worse SEO ranking or security issues.
For most new sites, blogs and small business sites with up to 20,000–30,000 visits per month, BeoHosting shared hosting with a LiteSpeed Enterprise server provides more than enough performance. A VPS becomes justified when a site outgrows shared hosting or when you need specific resources and control.
Shared Hosting — ideal for:
- New sites and blogs
- Small business sites
- Portfolio sites
- WordPress sites with moderate traffic
- Users without technical knowledge
- Projects with a limited budget
VPS Hosting — ideal for:
- Sites with 50,000+ visits per month
- E-commerce stores
- Web applications (SaaS, API)
- Sites that require root access
- Larger databases
- Projects with specific requirements

Výkon and scalability
The key advantage of VPS hosting is guaranteed performance. On shared hosting, if another site on the same server has a sudden traffic spike, your resources may be temporarily reduced. On a VPS, your resources are fully isolated and always available, regardless of other users’ activity.
However, BeoHosting shared hosting uses a LiteSpeed Enterprise server and the CloudLinux operating system, which provides better resource isolation between users than ordinary shared hosting. CloudLinux limits CPU and RAM for each user, which prevents one site from compromising the performance of others.
When it comes to scalability, VPS hosting is the clear winner. You can add more CPU cores, RAM or disk space at any time without migrating to another server. On shared hosting, when you outgrow a plan, the only choice is moving to a larger plan or to a VPS. BeoHosting offers a free upgrade from shared to VPS hosting with no downtime.
