VPS Hosting
VPS is an abbreviation for "Virtual Private Server". A VPS works by dividing a physical server into separate virtual machines. Each of these virtual machines, or virtual private servers, operate completely independently from one another. In other words, each VPS has its own operating system as well as allocation of resources like RAM, CPU and disk space. This provides you with an environment that closely mimics that of a Dedicated Server, without the costs associated with it.
There are many advantages to choosing VPS Hosting over competing solutions. These advantanges include:
1. Improved Performance & Isolation - You don't share resources with other users meaning your audience will enjoy your enhanced website performance in a VPS environment.
2. More Control & Customization - Root access allows you to configure server settings to fully match your hosting needs.
3. Cost Effectiveness - You get to experience most of the benefits of a Dedicated Server, without the cost.
4. Highly Scalable - As your site becomes more popular, you can also easily increase your VPS' resources to keep up with growth.
5. Ability To Host Resource Intensive Software - Some software is not compatible in a Shared Hosting environment as it needs more resources to run properly. A VPS offers those additional resources.
HostOlaf VPS Hosting Solutions are extremely user-friendly to use! That's because we include the same easy-to-use cPanel control panel, offererd in all our Hosting environment. Easily manage your software, websites, databases, files, email and more within the intuitive cPanel graphic interface. HostOlaf is a call away, Contact us.
The need to handle increased traffic as your site grows in popularity is probably the main reason why you're considering VPS Hosting. If your website has begun to experience a consistent increase in the number of daily visitors, it is the perfect time for you to consider moving into a VPS Hosting solution.
However, there are a number of additional reasons to consider VPS Hosting including:
1. You are running more than one site and you want additional resources to power them.
2. You want greater control over your sites' privacy and security.
3. You’re have a revenue generating business or e-commerce website.
4. You want to run resource intensive software that is not supported on Shared Hosting plans.
5. You require root access for your server.
6. You want more control over your server and want to configure it to your specific needs.
7. You are developing sites for a number of clients.
If you are looking for an easy upgrade from your Shared Hosting account and want to continue using an intuitive control panel like cPanel, we recommend that you select a VPS Hosting account. Our expert support team can even seamlessly migrate your existing website into a VPS Hosting Account.
If, on the other hand, you are an experienced developer who is comfortable working with command line and want root access so you can fully customize your server, using the VPS Hosting cPanel.
