Hello there! Yes, it’s possible to have multiple websites on a single VPS plan. I would also suggest choosing a similar VPS plan to your current shared plan (resources-wise), so there won’t be any performance issues. Keep in mind that there is no direct way to upgrade from shared to VPS, as it’s two different products. Thus you would need to do the migration yourself.

Hi Rita! Yes, the guide will work just well as long as you choose Webmin/Virtualmin control panel on your VPS. At the moment we don’t have a video tutorial for it, but I’ll pass the idea to the team, thanks for pointing that out 🙂

Hi there! Shared and VPS plans run on very different OS – Shared plans are managed, while VPS are completely setup and configured by the user, so upgrading from Shared to VPS with a click of a button (as you would upgrade from Shared to Cloud) is not possible. The only way around it would be to manually migrate your website as per this guide 🙂

Hi, Mohammed! Yes, that’s right 🙂 However, we do suggest caution choosing CentOS, as it’s nearing it’s end of life. You can read more about CentOS vs another popular OS – Ubuntu on our guide.

Hi! Is there a way to upgrade from shared hosting to vps hosting plan directly? In the shared hosting plan site it is only possible to upgrade to cloud hosting.
