Often when one first looks for a web host the budget is a concern. Individual as well as business customers prefer not to spend too much on launching their sites. Wanting to make savings, they usually look for a cheap hosting. You can be happy with it for quite a long time, but a moment will come when your site requires more space or services than were offered in the original package. One of the cheapest solutions available on the market is reseller hosting. Still, there are many cheap VPS hosts to choose from if you are willing to upgrade with them. We are going to focus on the two types of hosting here, and on top of that we will instruct you how to upgrade.

Reseller hosting is through an intermediary company. Web servers were bought from a wholesale provider. What you buy is just a modified version of their package of servers. This resold server may have come in a web design package in which the reseller host will design your site and manage it for you.

VPS hosting is with a virtual dedicated server, meaning you are on your own server with your own operating system. Reseller hosting is typically on a shared server with other websites sharing your disk space and bandwidth. The lowest price of packages offered by cheap VPS hosts is $ 8 and it increases as the range of services widens. VPS hosting can be managed or unmanaged. In the second case, you will be the one responisble for server upkeep. Unmanaged vps hosting is going to be less expensive than managed vps.

If the reseller host you have offers a cheap VPS, you can upgrade through the same company. Upgrading by the same host will surely cause you less hassle. When you stay with the same host you do not have to register your domain name through a new company. Having registered your domain through a registrar not associated with the host, you will upgrade with a new VPS host more easily.

Your domain name is one part of upgrading to a cheap VPS host. You always have to download your files to a computer as backup, no matter if you stay with the same company or not. These files can then be uploaded to the new server. You may not need all your files, still do download all of them from the reseller host. It is very important, as sometimes not saving all files may lead to the loss of some crucial link. It hinders the new site from working.

Before you cancel your reseller hosting, you need to test the VPS where you uploaded the files. You don’t have to worry – Your old site will still work for you in case anything goes wrong with the upload of the website files during the transfer process. In this way, you will not lose any potential customers on your site. An upgrade through the same company may allow you to use the expertise of the owner. They may be willing to help you with the file transfers to ensure the upgrade moves smoothly and that your site is working.
