Top VPS for Web Hosting Service Powered by Grid Hosting
VPS hosting, meaning translates into Virtual Private Server hosting, and it is a web hosting plan that is an upgrade to shared web hosting for your web systems. VPS for web hosting lies somewhere in the grey area between the shared servers hosting and dedicated server hosting. It includes all the great that shared hosting has to offer combined with many pros of dedicated web hosting at a reduced cost.
In VPS web hosting, the user is independently in control of all the resources that are allocated to your website or web system by the server. Unlike the shared web hosting plans, hundreds of accounts use the same resources that a server has allocated; think of it as a private space reserved for your web systems/website. Grid Hosting provides you with one of the best web hosting packages, and VPS hosting is not an exception. But before we go to all the great stuff that we have to provide for your business, let us see what exactly VPS is for web hosting and why you should need it?
Do you need VPS for web hosting?
The answer to this question is not a direct one, and it highly depends on your web systems or website. But we can boil it down for you so that you may have a better understanding of whether or not you require the VPS hosting services. To know that you need VPS web hosting services, you need to know that you have already outgrown your shared hosting plans.
As I mentioned earlier, the shared hosting plans have multiple accounts (hundreds of them) utilizing the same resources that a server offers for their plans. However, in VPS services, the hosting server has allocated your private resources for your usage. You have control over the allocated resources, and you can put them to your use independently. These resources include but are not restricted to; Memory, RAM, Bandwidth, etc.
The disadvantage of shared web hosting is that whenever the traffic to your web systems exceeds the quota, you are allowed your web system’s shared resources to start facing issues. These issues include internal server errors during peak traffic hours, increasing security threats to your web system, and website speed has slowed down.
These issues are generally a great indicator that you need to upgrade your shared hosting plans to VPS web hosting. You can try different solutions to these issues independently, such as installing a cache plugin, additional security plugins, optimizing image-heavy content, etc. Still, if all else fails, you need to upgrade your web hosting plans.
VPS hosting has many disadvantages over shared web hosting and even dedicated web hosting, especially if you can’t yet afford to pay for dedicated web hosting. On the flip side, you need to have a bit more technical knowledge to manage your VPS configurations.
Additionally, there are two popular types of VPS hosting services that users opt for:
-
Windows VPS hosting
The Windows VPS web hosting provides one of the most comfortable VPS services. Windows VPS web hosting runs on the Microsoft Windows operating systems. There are tools provided by Microsoft that would help out users to manage their own VPS hosting configurations, one of the most renowned tools are the list of Microsoft Windows’ server management tools. Windows hosting is one of the easiest and user-friendly VPS services as most of the users are familiar with Microsoft Windows’ interfaces.
On the other hand, the downside is that you need to purchase authentic licenses for the operating systems to access these tools entirely. You might also need to invest in additional security software if it needs to be. However, I would best recommend this hosting for small or medium businesses experiencing high traffic spikes.
-
Linux VPS hosting
On the other hand, there are the Linux VPS services that we provide. A single physical server would manage multiple virtual servers, each of which’s resources are allocated privately to a single user account. Linux VPS web hosting services provide more flexibility of configurations and management than the Windows one as the Linux Operating system is designed for a more technical user base. Linux is remarkably cheap if you compare it to Windows VPS web hosting as Linux is an open-source operating system.
The downside is that it is not very user-friendly, and if you aren’t very technical, Linux’s VPS configurations can be a pain for you to handle. Poorly configured server settings might lead to security vulnerabilities. However, since Linux is open-source, it is remarkably tough for viruses and malware to break into the systems if you know how to configure the settings correctly.
