Hi jub.frd1,

This vague question has been asked and answered many times here.
Almost invariably the answers are useless.

Unless you give more specific details about your site, what is considered best by someone else will almost certainly not be best for you.

What’s your budget?
How much traffic does the site get?
How much do you expect the traffic to grow?
What are you looking for in a host?

Once you have more details about what you need, we might be able to suggest a few good options for you to look into.

I agree much more information is needed. Overall now as I come across this question where the needs for specs. and the actual use are vague I’m suggesting that users in need of hosting consider cloud hosting. The cost isn’t going to be much more and the uptime and security benefits make a strong case for more users to consider cloud options.

Dedicated server is more than expensive than VPS.
The good thing with dedicated server is you are the ONLY owner using the resource on the server.

Not to forget that you must consider adding security modification to your server eg. securing ssh, ftp, dns and optimisie the web server for performance.
If all these sound clueless to you, it is best to get a managed dedicated server or vps … let the sys admin to tune your server to safeguard your shopping site.
