I moved away from shared hosting to a VPS due to several reasons:<br><br>Security, reliability and performance. <br><br>In regards to security, shared hosting is and always will be a miss. There is no true partitioning.<br>
<br>Reliability, I install a minimum of software to run exactly what I need. Sure a VPS is oversold but the controls are much more strict on how resources are provisioned.<br><br>Finally performance, I don't have nearly the hiccups I have had on a shared host. I can manage all the services and their configurations directly. <br>
<br>To me the complexity is with shared hosting but then again I don't look at it strictly from a users perspective since I am a systems administrator by trade. <br><br>Dan<br>
