Web Hosting With Virtual Private Server
Website hosting with Virtual Private Server is a popular solution for websites that have outgrown shared hosting, offering more control and performance compared to shared servers but at lower costs than dedicated servers.
VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting provides customers with virtualized environments on physical servers shared among multiple clients but divided up using software (hypervisor). Each customer receives allocated sections of hardware – disk space, memory and CPU cores are allocated specifically to them – giving each website more dedicated service than in shared hosting plans.
VPS servers differ from shared servers in that each website on one has its own partition that limits what other websites on that same server can do. When one website experiences an unexpected traffic surge or utilizes resource intensive applications, performance across all other websites may temporarily suffer as a result.
VPS hosting eliminates such concerns. Furthermore, its higher bandwidth and storage capacities make it ideal for eCommerce sites or any website requiring extensive data transfer.
Some VPS hosting plans are fully managed by their host, meaning that all maintenance and monitoring duties will be taken care of by them. This option is ideal for busy teams without an IT department or those wanting a professional to handle all technical details of hosting. While this approach offers less control, but can save both time and money.
