Features of VPS Web Hosting.

By Jay Patel


The three types of hosting based on sharing of the resources, and they are shared hosting, VPS hosting and dedicated hosting. These stages are important to be known in order to implement them in various stages of business based on the requirements of traffic and resources. Of course there is an advanced hosting service called cloud hosting is also available, but we are now discussing the applications of these three and especially VPS.

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: More and dedicated resources like disk space, bandwidth, processor speed and memory enable to handle the huge traffics on the website. More appropriate resources like the operating system required, the software, plug-ins can be installed by you for optimum performance.

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.

Backup facility: the data can be well backed up and restored in VPS in much better way than the shared hosting. The website owner can configure software in such a way that the backup and restore would be automated on local memory as well as in the remote server.

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.
