Do you all prefer shared, VPS, or server?

I've personally never been able to afford any more than a Shared host.. 😳

I'm conscious that if Nerdface grows I'll likely have to upgrade at some point, but I figured that I have a while yet before I have to start looking around. I'm enjoying a phase of stability right now that I haven't really experienced since purchasing my XenForo license.

Well, many of us would prefer the best - but finances limit us.  Anyway, considering the finances, what do you prefer?  What do you prefer if money was no object?

Myself, I prefer a VPS at the moment.  I guess that's all I need, but heavy traffic could make me change my mind.

Anyhow, in the past, on one forum (one of mine), people were complaining of slowness (of posting time) - so I figure it was the shared thing (re-seller account).

Yeah, finances always have a say in our choices! 😂 A VPS is a solid pick, but when traffic surges like a stampede, you might start eyeing dedicated server hosting. No slow posting times, no noisy neighbors—just pure, uninterrupted power. If money was no object, I'd go all-in on a beastly dedicated server from HostNoc and rule the internet!

You would get more privileges with a VPS than a shared plan.

With a VPS you get root access to the servers, which enables you to install applications of your choice.

Bonuses such as SSL certificate, domain name, VPN, anti-malware, and others can certainly tip the scales.

Multiple Website Hosting. If managing multiple sites, check if the plan supports unlimited domains. Some plans restrict the number of hosted websites.
