VPS hosting solutions-safer, smarter and cheaper!!
Going for shared hosting is okay till a certain point. Once your site starts raking in a decent amount of traffic and starts making some profit, shared hosting can be quite troublesome and you can run into a number of problems. On the other hand, if you go for your own dedicated servers to meet your needs, it can be very expensive as you have to manage your own hardware and maintain it yourself. And it requires specific skills to do it. Moreover, you have a business to take care of and getting involved in hosting your web site can be a messy affair. Hence, you need to hire someone for that job that just blows your expenses out of the roof. If you are trapped in such a dilemma, Virtual Private Server or VPS is the perfect hosting solution that can take care of all you problems.
What VPS basically does is it compartmentalizes a single web server with the use of various virtualization softwares so that a certain part of that server is dedicated exclusively to you and acts like your own server. It’s like breaking down the server and making a part of it believe that it is the actual server. Hence, without actually owning a server you can get all the benefits that come from owning one. It is perfect especially for small business owners as you get more control, security, stability and performance at a much cheaper rate.
The problem with shared hosting is that a multiple web sites are hosted on a single web server. This often leads to one website eating into the resources of another since there is no fixed manner in each these sites function in a server. Hence it is quite common that your site is down because of this. Sometimes if there is an error in one web site because of some scripting issues by the consumer or by the people in charge of the web site, even your site can go down. And if there is a virus in one the site your web site will also get affected because of it. Hence, there are some security issues. You also have to compromise a lot of times as your hosting company can’t reboot a server according to your needs as there are other sides involved too.
Using a VPS solves as this problem as a part of the web server is completely dedicated to you and is independent of other web sites that run on the server. This ensures complete safety and protection of your web site as it is completely isolated. Moreover your are given ‘root access’ to the web server. That means you have much more control over the server as you can reboot it according to your requirements. VPS provides you your own Operating System, Ram and disk space. They also provide burstable Ram which accommodates excess and unexpected traffic to your website. Hence they also improve performance. And since you don’t have to physically own a server it’s extremely cheap method of hosting as well.
