These are different parts of your hosting setup. Split the bill before comparing alternatives.
Computing resources, storage and any transfer charges depend on the provider’s plan.
Virtualmin GPL and HestiaCP are licence-free examples.
Their features and support arrangements still need comparison.
Backup storage, business email and ongoing administration may have separate costs.
Compare current and proposed annual costs.
Keep one-time setup work separate, and unknown costs visible.
If email stays with its existing provider, changing the website panel does not remove that email bill.
Check the tasks included in each plan.
A lower licence bill can mean more work for your team.
Separate panel licences, server resources, backups, email and maintenance before comparing the real cost of a VPS setup.
