I don’t think there’s much reason to move a new website to a VPS immediately unless the project already has high traffic or specific server requirements. For most new forums or small business sites, shared hosting resources are usually more than enough at the beginning, especially with proper optimization and caching. hostpro.com, for example, has fairly solid shared hosting with NVMe storage, daily backups stored for 30 days, and multiple server locations like Amsterdam, Warsaw, and Tampa. If the project eventually grows, moving to a VPS later is much more reasonable than overpaying for unused resources early on.
