Windows SharePoint Services are being used in by more businesses to publish information, particularly in intranet applications. The speed of deployment and publishing capabilities allow non-programming staff to manage the information publication, defect tracking and document collaboration that so many businesses find vital to conducting their daily activity.

Many businesses just getting started with SharePoint will use a shared hosting service such as the shared SharePoint Hosting, which allows the business to leverage the features and flexibility of SharePoint without having to commit IT resources to support the environment. However, as businesses grow, they may want to move away from a hosted environment to a SharePoint VPS server. The reasons behind this are based in scalability, flexibility and performance. A VPS server offers the same control as hosting the server in your own corporate network, but without having to purchase hardware or create server space. In addition, SharePoint VPS Hosting offers the scalability of being able to add more servers and processing power as your business needs grow.

A shared SharePoint Hosting environment may suit the initial needs of a business solution, but the shared space means that your business has less access to the installation and server; in addition, in some cases, large clients who share sensitive data will have a requirement that all of your interactions with them and their data be somewhat autonomous. Even though hosted environments are considered virtually autonomous, sometimes large companies will not accept this as a complete segregation of data. However, a SharePoint VPS will meet their audit requirements perfectly.
