Can VPS be faster than hosting?

Question

System administration

I use hosting from Beget, the tariff is Great, everything suits me, but I start to run into disk quota limits. The next plan is twice as expensive and only 3GB more than the quota. And ahead is planned to expand the content of the site.
I thought about moving either to another hosting, or immediately to VPS. In addition to the main reason, I would like to speed up the site.
This begs the question: is it possible to set up VPS (tariff plans for $5 or $10) in such a way that it works faster than hosting? At the moment, there are up to 200-300 visitors per day, the server response time in Google Webmaster Tools is 500 ms., I would like to reduce it to 150 ms. or lower.
Should I bother, or will I not get any improvements in terms of speed?
Was going to use HTTP2 + TLS / nginx (maybe with caching) / PHP7 / memcached / mariadb or percona

Answer 1

Just as an option, if the main place is occupied by some downloaded files, then you can consider moving them to a separate hosting (Amazon S3, inexpensive VPS, Storage - https://billing.time4vps.eu/cart/storage-server/&step=0 the cheapest tariff - with a two-year payment), while it will be possible to go to Beget to a cheaper tariff.
A friend about Beget has only positive reviews, and in terms of speed, too.
It seems to me that 500ms can be optimized on Beget, you must first figure out what specifically slows it down.

Maybe

Answer 3

"Speed" of the VDS and shared, all other things being equal (software settings) depends on the iron component of the server and its workload.
For example, a new DELL shared server with an SSD and a dozen sites will fly, unlike a non-branded hetzner dedicated with 100 virtual machines on SATA servers loaded for the most fun.
In any case, with the growth of the project, in the end it turns out to be more profitable to keep resources on VPS or dedicated, since shared hosting does not provide access to service configs, and in 90% of cases there is something to tweak in the software itself.

Answer 4

Pings depend not only on hosting. VPS does not need to be configured, you just need to know the bandwidth and resources allocated for it. And even if everything is fine and you have a 5ms ping from your house, then it’s not a fact that the dude from Butovo on a 3ji moped will have the same ping.

Answer 5

unlikely, that is, what prevents you from setting up sites to work quickly on the same shared hosting, enable caching everywhere.

Answer 6

Under 1 site with 200-300 users a day, take a dedik, isn't it fat?
VPS is more than enough

Answer 7

danforth , I suggest trying another hosting, this is VPS.ua. They have trial periods for two services - for the VPS server and the Cloud server, which is also a VPS, but with much more capabilities. Here are the links: https://vps.ua/trial-new/ and https://vps.ua/cloud-hosting/. The speed will definitely go up. Also, the hosting location, that is, its location, can affect the ping.
