VPS (shared CPU)

Virtual Private Servers are available for both; shared and dedicated servers. If you’re planning to host a personal website, like a blog, a portfolio, or even a company website for small scale businesses, a virtual private network is an excellent option to start out with. To better understand if this is the correct option for you, a good space to start off with is to learn more about what virtual private server hosting services are and what they offer.

As a relatively secure and a much more stable option than shared hosting, virtual private servers are often chosen by business or website owners running medium-level traffic. To ensure ease of service, payment and customizing options, VPS solutions are offered as packages and featuring in different hosting plans. These also make sure that there is always something suited exactly to your business needs and that there is no point in time where you’re paying for more than you’re using.

How Does VPS Hosting Work?

You web host stores your website’s files and respective databases on a specific computer called a server. When a user types in your website’s URL, a request is sent from their browser to your server, and all the necessary files are transferred and the page loads. In a VPS, a virtual server poses as a physical machine that stores your files. In reality, this virtual server is part of a physical machine that is shared between several other users.

To make this work, hosting providers use virtualization technology to overlay a virtual layer on the operating system being run by the server which divided it into several partitions. Each partition is then dedicated to individual users who can install their own operating systems and software on them.

What VPS Offers

When you opt for a virtual private server to host your website, you are granted access to that virtual server—which means that there may be several ‘virtual servers’ or ‘sub-servers’ within the same machine. A range of different types of websites can be effectively hosted on virtual private servers and they can also support external services like e-Commerce software, file transfer protocol and date storage.

One of the main benefits of VPS web hosting is that dedicated resources are offered for your website, including RAM, CPU and disk space. Other advantages include root access to configure and customize the hosting environment and scalability options so that the use of resources adapts to the growth of your business operations.

Why You Should Consider Using A Virtual Private Server

One of the ways that a virtual private server is the best option for an organization, or a business is that it’s faster and much more reliable than a shared server. Another good reason is the little to no fluctuation in the available resources. Additionally, if you’re using a virtual private server, issues like traffic surges are far less likely to affect your site.

Another fact that makes it an excellent choice is that customers get root access to the server and benefit from top-level privacy. Aside from that, the service is easy to scale and allows you to upgrade your server without much trouble.
