If your site is having some decent traffic, you should move ahead of shared hosting and should think either of VPS or dedicated server. But if you can’t afford dedicated server so early, VPS is for you.
In fact, VPS is the combination of shared hosting and dedicated server. Here you will have more control over your server and you can customize, the way you want. Needless to say, security will get increased for sure.
But usually the too high price of VPS and dedicated servers, people don’t try to get into it and compromise with the shared hosting.
We were also looking for some affordable VPS hosting and found HostSailor. HostSailor is a UAE based company and their VPS plan just starts at $1.99 per month and at least I have not seen any VPS at such a low price.

Domains
You can also register any domain with HostSailor. Their domain pricing starts from $6.99 per year and there are a number of extensions those you can use.
SSL certificates
I am sure if you have visited some e-commerce sites then you must have noticed their URL started with https instead of normal HTTP like we have.
This is because they are using SSL certificates on their site…but why?
This is due to the fact that these sites use some data transfer and payment process and SSLs help to encrypt the data and so making the transfer more secure compared to what normal data transfer does.
So if you also have any kind of data transfer, consider using SSLs. There are many kinds of SSLs and depending on your requirement, you can use one which suits you. Below are some of the SSLs types as provided by HostSailor-
Reseller Hosting
If you are a small business owner and want to sell Hosting at low scales, this can be for you. They have a couple of options like either you can Reseller plan or can be as an affiliate. Just register and they will take care of rest further.
