Short answer
Choose shared hosting for business websites, blogs and small shops: it is cheaper and we manage everything. Choose a VPS when you need your own guaranteed resources, root access or custom software, and you (or our managed service) can look after a server.

Stay on shared hosting if…
- You run a company website, blog, school or NGO site, or a small WooCommerce shop.
- You want email, SSL and backups taken care of.
- You don’t want to manage a server.
Move to a VPS if…
- Your website is slow because it has outgrown shared resources.
- You need software that shared hosting doesn’t allow: Docker, background workers, a specific database, or Windows.
- You need a Ugandan IP address or a dedicated environment for compliance; the Ugandan VPS is hosted in Uganda.
The step in between
If your site is simply busy, cloud or corporate hosting gives you more guaranteed resources while we still manage everything.
