7 top benefits of VPS hosting

Virtual Private Servers are beneficial for most small and medium-sized enterprises in many ways. Let’s take a closer look at these advantages.

Virtual Private Server, or VPS for short, is a virtual section of a physical server. VPS can work with its own operating system and can be operated independently from the physical server. Thus, VPS can offer high-performance solutions for a low cost.

Other options

Unlike a shared server hosting plan, VPS can have its own settings and functions. Although most small businesses prefer shared server hosting for its low cost, it may not be as effective as a VPS. If your site is on a shared server, it means multiple websites on that server are using the same resources along with your website. This means someone else’s traffic can affect your website’s performance negatively. However, if your website is on a VPS, other websites can’t use the resources that have been allocated to your website.

Another option is dedicated hosting, which means an entire server is provided for you only. If you have high volumes of traffic on your website or you need to configure the server in a very specific way, this may be the best option for you. But since most small and medium-sized enterprises don’t need a vast amount of resources and dedicated servers are more expensive, the best alternative for you is VPS.

Reasons to choose VPS hosting

As mentioned above, there are many reasons to prefer VPS hosting, let’s take a closer look at them.

Dedicated resources

Each VPS works like a dedicated server. It has its own resources, such as CPU, RAM, etc. So other servers that are sharing the same physical server can’t affect the performance of your website.

Affordable

VPS hosting is both reliable and low-cost. You will pay only for the resources you are using and it may be accurately calculated by a system. And also, most providers allow users to customize the resources for the short term in case of need.

Customization

Just like dedicated servers, you can customize everything on your VPS, such as operating systems and many other settings. You are completely free within your VPS.

Security

The security of your server is completely in your hands. You can set up firewalls along with other additional security measures free from other virtual servers.

Performance

Although VPS may not offer as high performance as dedicated servers, they are ideal for most small and medium-sized enterprises. With the dedicated CPU and RAM usage, other websites’ performances can not affect you in a negative way.

Upgradability

As your business grows, you may need better equipment for your server. With VPS, you can expand your server capabilities to match your needs anytime you want.

Stability

Segregation from other virtual servers means your website will not be affected by them. As long as the physical server that your VPS is installed on, you will have no uptime problems related to other virtual servers.

Conclusion

In conclusion, you can think of VPS as a virtual and small-scale dedicated server. Each VPS has its own resources and doesn’t share it with other sectors of the server. Also, the IP address for the VPS will be unique for your website, unlike shared hosting. Shortly, VPS is a low-cost version of a dedicated server and also prevents the problems that can occur on a shared server.
