ApplyMatch your hosting model to your stage of growth instead of paying for capacity you will not use this year.
Four models, one trade-off
Shared, VPS, dedicated and cloud hosting all trade cost against isolation and control. Early on, cost and simplicity usually win.
What actually affects speed
Image weight, caching and server location influence perceived speed far more than the tier name on your invoice.
Migration is normal
Pick something reasonable now and keep your domain registrar separate from your host. That one habit makes every future move painless.
