The Basics of VPS Web Hosting.

By Jay Patel


There are many types of web hostings you can go for. It is important to know at what stage of your business which hosting is needed and why. Primarily there are three kinds of hosting based on the nature, called shared hosting, VPS hosting and dedicated hosting. There is also cloud hosting which is an advanced hosting but we are discussing now about the comparison of the first three types of web hosting.

When the business is in the initial stages, starting from almost zero, one can prefer shared hosting. Shared hosting is suggested during this period because of the limited traffic and small set of requirements used for the business. Shared hosting is very economical as the resources and server are shared among the other customers. VPS server is basically required after the business started experiencing web traffic which can be found in statistics. After the business has become brand, when no chance can be taken for any delayed services and uptime, then one can go for dedicated hosting. In this article, let's see how VPS can be useful to handle the high traffic web hosting.

Improved performance: VPS allows independent channel to transfer the web content control the delays to access the website and transfer the web content into the respective browsers. Installing only appropriate resources, leaving the free features apart, make the hosting performance to be boosted without unwanted load for bandwidth.

Independent and appropriate resources: VPS customers possess the tailored set of resources like processor speed, bandwidth, storage space and memory as those are virtually dedicated to them. Their independent and selected applications like software, plug-ins and importantly operating system help hosting and accessing of website much appropriate and fast enough.

Security: the threat of malware and malicious programs are proportional to the traffic. The more the traffic the more will be the threat. Since VPS facilitates the web data transfer through independent and separate channel the threat from malware also would be almost negligible. A little more concern about it, you can prefer managed VPS hosting where 24/7 network monitoring can find vulnerabilities for more security.

Better backup: backup and restore facilities from hosting provider are better for VPS, as the customer can configure automated backups on both remote and local servers.

Multiple website handling: when the websites are multiple for the same business, managing them would be comparatively easy with VPS hosting because of the root level access, self reboot system and also you can install tweaks to help coordination and performance of the websites.
