First, you can\u2019t assume startups are all small, as some launch with thousands of products and a massive existing client base. In general though, yes, most startups could be handled on some sort of VPS, given that the anticipated resource consumption matches those available on a specific plan.<\/p>\n<div

managed VPS packages are frequently way less expensive than leasing a managed dedicated server.
