What does your project need?
Full service cost
Compare the regular price and billing term, taxes, software licences, extra storage and backups. Check what changes when a promotion ends.
Who manages the server
Confirm who handles updates, access, applications, firewall rules and restores. Standard DotMoose VPS plans are self-managed; shared hosting has a different support scope.
Capacity and upgrades
Measure normal and peak use. Choose enough room for the workload and check the cost and process of increasing resources later.
Planning
Access, backups and handover
Confirm the current product specifications and service responsibilities. Record who can approve a change and how to recover the service if it goes wrong.
