Hosting one webpage with a different host?

[Albertwu]

I have a small website and have a free (shared) web hosting package but I have recently created an app and I want to purchase a cheap vps with a different web host for it. The vps plan has limited storage so I will still be dependent on the shared hosting plan.

It it even possible to do this? Let's say I have mywebsite.com using shared hosting and I want to host the specific page mywebsite.com/nodeapp on another web host with which I have purchased the vps. I can't seem to find this info anywhere and I would like to know before purchasing the vps. Thanks in advance for your answers.

You can create subdomain on your VPS, and use it pointed from your shared hosting. Or via IP pointing also can. It is somethings got to do with geolocation?

In an ideal world, we would never have to worry about switching web hosts – our site would remain happily housed at the current hosting provider’s facility with great load times, low costs, and 100 percent uptime.

Unfortunately, the world is not ideal and this perfect scenario rarely – if ever – exists.

How Web Host Switching Works?
Moving your website to a new host is a bit like moving to a new home in the physical world.

Switching web host vs. moving to a new house

Think about it – when you move, you first find a new location, then sign the paperwork, pack up all of your belongings, and physically move them to the new location. If you are moving a business, after doing all of this, you finish the move off by hanging a new sign over your door to advertise your new digs.

Moving your site is something similar – only a virtual version. You shop for a new location, sign the paperwork to rent hosting space (in the account type of your choice – shared server, dedicated server, VPS, etc.), package up your site to ensure that all of your assets come with you, transfer everything to your new web host, and then point your domain to your new host by changing the DNS record; this final step is in essence hanging the sign over your new shop door.

Though it can be a process, it is completely attainable.

Create Subdomain, and before purchasing VPS just you ask with customer support team, and also check with leasedlayer.com they have some discount on vps.
