              Why Move to VPS Hosting?

              Shared hosting often can’t keep up with busy websites and apps.
              A VPS gives you:

              • Your own set of resources—no sharing, no slowdowns
              • Full control to run any software
              • Simple ways to scale as your business grows
              • Local support from South Africans
              • Higher security for sensitive data

              Ideal for agencies, stores, startups, and anyone serious about uptime.

              Truehost VPS solutions give you dedicated resources, unmatched performance, and full root access at unbeatable prices. Choose between Managed and Unmanaged server plans

              Is VPS good for hosting?

              Yes, VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a great choice for hosting in South Africa for several reasons:

              • Performance: Get faster speeds and dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage compared to shared hosting.
              • Scalability: Easily adjust your VPS resources as your site or business grows.
              • Security: Your data and apps are kept in a separate, secure space, reducing risks from other users.
              • Control: Full root access lets you set up your server exactly how you want, with any software or settings.
              • Value for money: VPS gives you strong performance without the high cost of a dedicated server, making it a smart choice for South African businesses.

              However, the right hosting depends on your needs.
              If you’re running a basic website with low traffic, shared hosting may be enough.

              For busy websites, growing businesses, or anyone who wants more control and better performance, VPS is the smart move for South Africa.
