Why people move to VPS hosting
A VPS gives you a more isolated environment and more server control than ordinary shared hosting. It can make sense when a site has outgrown shared resources or needs a configuration that shared hosting cannot provide.
What to check with HostGator VPS
Compare the current resource allocations, management level, storage, bandwidth, access, support, and upgrade options. Make sure you are comfortable with the technical responsibility that comes with the plan.
Shared hosting may still be enough
Extra server control has a cost in money and complexity. If your site runs comfortably on shared hosting, moving to a VPS early may add work without solving a real problem.
