VPS vs Shared Hosting in Depth: Key differences you should check
Below are the shared and VPS hosting factors compared directly that impact your website's speed, security, growth, and reliability.
LiteSpeed servers & NVMe SSD
We run both shared and VPS plans on LiteSpeed servers and NVMe SSDs. VPS wins with dedicated CPU and RAM (offering consistent speed unlike shared infrastructure).
Free SSL & security specs
Our shared hosting offers standard security with free SSL. VPS adds an isolated server environment that reduces cross-contamination risk from neighboring websites.
Scalability
Shared plans scale to a limit. VPS removes that ceiling entirely. MilesWeb handles the migration between both — completely free, with no rebuilding required.
Plan pricing
With MilesWeb, shared hosting costs just ₹69/mo, while VPS starts at ₹549/mo. Both include a GST invoice, UPI payment, and the same renewal rate locked in from day one.
Ease of use
Our clients get the best user experience through cPanel and one-click WordPress install. For shared plan users this is beginner-ready hosting and for VPS users it’s a highly controlled structure.
Control and customization
Our shared hosting gives website-level control through cPanel. Our VPS adds full root access to allow easy configurations, server settings, and control of technical parameters.

Signs you’ve outgrown your shared hosting plan
Many successful websites start on shared hosting. But these signs tell you it's time to move up.
Slow site loading
If your website is loading slow, especially during peak hours or traffic spikes, then visitors leave before your page loads and bouncing rates increase.
Frequent downtime
If your website is getting frequent outages, it costs you customers, credibility, and dropped search engine rankings.
You handle sensitive data
Upgrading to advanced servers becomes essential when you are handling customer payments, logins, or personal information and demand a more isolated, secure environment.
High traffic growth
When your website grows, shared hosting servers can no longer keep up with the increased demands. You need a dedicated CPU and RAM to handle everything smoothly.
