VPS hosting has become popular enough to make shared hosting sound tedious and old fashioned. More and more people are turning towards VPS systems now and it’s no surprise since they offer numerous advantages especially compared to shared systems. If you are new to VPS hosting itself then it’s best that you try looking up some free VPS hosting options just to get started, and then you could move on to the real deal when the time is right. If you still need some convincing on why you should use VPS systems, we have compiled a list of benefits with their explanation. So let’s get started:
If you have ever used a shared hosting system, you may have noticed how there is a lot of problem with ‘traffic’. Basically, when more than one party wishes to use the same host, your operation gets slower and work gets affected. Other than that, if even one of the users manages to screw up the system somehow, it is very likely that your files will get affected. This is where VPS takes the cake since your server belongs only to you and no other party can have access to it unless you want them to. Only you can affect your work and there will be no traffic to slow it down.
Other than that, you will have complete control over your domain. This means that you can install and use whichever Operating System you are comfortable with and not have to consider other people’s preferences. You can even use scripts which are forbidden in a shared environment.
There will be no other person in control who will monitor your moves. This is because you will have root access to your VPS environment and in case you want someone else to access it, you can give them guest privileges while keeping admin control to yourself. So in case something does go wrong, you will not have to reconfigure the system all over again.
Most VPS systems come with fully optimized security options which keep auto upgrading every time you are online. This is why it is difficult for people to hack into your system and gain confidential information or screw around with anything important which you may be storing in your system.
Other than that, you can do anything you want and store anything you want without worrying about taking up someone else’s space or exposing them to something you only want yourself to be aware of since you will be the only person working on the system.
For a simple work environment or private purposes VPS hosting may seem a bit pricey (You cannot really complain with all the benefits) but if you want to host a small website or a blog or something of the sort, it is actually a very cost effective option. Since a VPS system is a fraction of a huge, powerful real-time system, you will get all the benefits of that powerful system in the small space that you will have for your work. It will probably be fast and smooth.
Have you ever worried about selecting options in a shared space and worrying about it being too much or too less in the long run? Well that is another problem which is entirely eliminated with VPS systems since you can scale the entire space as per your wishes. For example, if you invested in a 4 GB RAM and 250 GBs of disk space initially and later figure out that it no longer suits your needs, you can enhance it whenever you want at an added cost.
This is a great option for when you start out a small website in hopes of it gaining more and more traffic. There will be no physical effort and no loss of time and traffic.
Just like a shared system, your VPS system will also have technical support for any queries you may have. If managing the system is too much for you, you can even opt for a semi-managed system where a third party will be handling the technical stuff and you can concentrate on your business.
