Hi, need help on choosing the right hosting service for a small business, shared hosting or vps? I understand vps is more secured, what do you normally use when your building sites for small businesses?
Go to a few hosting review sites and read what people have said, there is a high chance that a host has written positive things about himself so you are looking for negative reviews because those will tell you the truth.
you can start with shared hosting during development/testing/startup phase. Than as soon as it is not able to provide you with enough CPU cycles to cover your growing visitor base, you go -> VPS -> Dedicated route
A consideration that is often overlooked is business level hosting that isn't a shared acct. per say, or a VPS for that matter. These types of accounts are growing in popularity with many providers. They offer many more resources over shared along with extra security features which businesses need. In lieu of a VPS you might consider a cloud plan. Cloud plans offer redundancy which can offer near perfect uptime and an enhanced level of security for your data.

You may find with the big hosting companies (hostgator ect) they might reply quickly but it will be some untrained Indian guy copying and pasting responses. Go for a medium sizes company and I guarantee they will provide more personal help and be more willing to assist you in your needs.
