Most people rely on their host to perform backup for them. In fact it should your own responsibility, here is why…

Hosting company do backups of your site for their benefit.
eg. if the box crashes completely and they need to restore all the sites
from that box onto a new one.

All of the files from all the sites on that computer could potentially be jumbled
together on the backup.

Also you have no way of telling when they take a backup and which backup they will restore.

Basically their requirements for keeping backups of your site are different from your requirements for keeping a backup of your site.

If you were to accidentally delete some files from your site and then asked your host to restore them for you then if they were able to locate a suitable backup and restore it for you then they would be justified in charging you for that service since you are
taking staff away from their regular responsibilities to perform a task
that is really your responsibility.

VPS stands for ‘Virtual Private Server’ and is seen as a separate server by you and any other computer on the internet, but in reality it is actually a virtual environment hosted on a server with several other VPS.

They are seen by many as the step in between a cheap reseller account and a costly dedicated server - however, costs for VPS can vary greatly.

By having a VPS you have your own server, more or less, meaning that you can add programs and features as you like within your own environment without being at the mercy of other users; this can prove to be an advantage for some resellers since they might require special security settings which they’d never be able to get set on a reseller account - but which they will be able to set in a VPS environment.

A VPS is perfect for you if you require a dedicated environment but are not able to afford a dedicated server or if you have outgrown your standard reseller account and have no choice but to upgrade to a dedicated environment.

 If you are using a control panel such as cPanel then you should be able to get all your data and websites moved over without causing any downtime or hassle to your customers.
