Doubtful. Largely in part due to the average 'vps' user not managing things properly -- or knowing how much they need to scale, etc.
Entities that have been doing it for years have things optimized quite a bit to handle the spikes. I suspect the average shared hosting kicks the ass of the average VPS -- particularly in the IO department.
- dasil003 15y agoAre you guys serious? No doubt there is good shared hosting, but most of it is oversold to shit. "Average shared hosting" is a race to the bottom. The reason I say VPS is because that way you have guaranteed resources and the ability to debug and fix problems yourself. I guess if you know the right shared host you can get some good value there, but it still seems like a terrible risk to me due to undisclosed limits, or vulnerability to neighbors traffic spikes. When I said "startup" I thought it was implicit that it would not be expected to be a low traffic site, at least not for long.
