A VPS gives you guaranteed CPU and RAM rather than sharing a server with hundreds of other sites. That matters once traffic is steady, you are running an application rather than a brochure site, or a slow neighbour on shared hosting starts costing you conversions.
Most Arizona small businesses do not need a VPS. Web Hosting Plus handles a standard business site comfortably and costs less. Move to a VPS when you need specific software installed at server level, you are running an application with real resource demands, or compliance requires isolation from other tenants.
For a self-managed VPS, yes. If you would rather not manage a server, choose the managed option or stay on Web Hosting Plus.
Yes. The new server is provisioned and tested before DNS switches over, so visitors keep hitting the working site throughout.
