What are the disadvantages (if any) of using a virtual private server instead of a dedicated server to host my web application?

I launching my first web application in a couple of months and I’m trying to wonder what’s the best way to host it at an affordable price. It’s built in ASP.Net and uses SQL Server Express.

My point is, since it’s a subscription based web application, which I don’t expect a huge amount of traffic in the first months, will a VPS handle the trafic?

I’ve been looking around and I can find a VPS with 2Gb of ram for U$ 50, and that’s way bellow renting a private server that I’m sure will be underused in the firsts months.

  1. One of the main disadvantages of VPS is you still have shared resources despite them touting, ‘dedicated processor’. While that may be true, you’re still sharing a server with other VPS clients.

    Nothing wrong with starting out there, especially if the service has a direct upgrade path to dedicated, should your web app warrant it. Let’s hope it does! I’d love to have those problems.
