When should you use a Virtual Private Server?
Starting with a VPS plan from the beginning is a good idea. eCommerce websites, for example, that require secure payments in a fast and stable environment can greatly benefit from a virtual private server. In fact, if you store sensitive data or have to process online payments, a virtual private server (VPS) can help you reduce the risk of security breaches and identity theft.
A VPS hosting plan can also be beneficial if you anticipate traffic spikes on your site at specific times, such as in the case of an event planning or ticket-selling website. Game servers, such as CS:GO or Minecraft, and other resource-intensive websites perform much better on a virtual private server.

Same as James said, 2-3 comments below. Literally false advertisement. They are luring you that you can run nodejs apps and so on, until you actually run it (I am using Turbo Boost Plan) so you can see your that your resources maxed out. The cPanel locks you pretty much and tells you, you don't have the required permission to resolve this, you contact support and they tell you that... "We have killed all user processes on your account to free up the resource usage, however, this isn't a permanent fix as nodeJS can be very resource-intensive. You or your developer would need to take steps to review your application process consumption or consider upgrading to a server with higher process handing capabilities like our managed VPS or Dedicated servers."My application is literally no more than 10 files and all of them are small (its just an index with some js to it). And the plan I am using was being advertised as absolutely fine to use with requirements like mine.
