In VPS hosting, all the websites are housed in virtual servers in individual compartments. A physical machine is partitioned into several smaller virtual servers each with its operating system and server software.
Resources:Although the server is shared amongst many websites, they all function independently with allocated resources like RAM,
storage services, bandwidth, CPU etc. This enhances the reliability as the issues like server slowing down or crashing due to a neighbor pulling more resources is eliminated.
Control:The clients have complete control to configure the server in any manner suitable to their business. They have the liberty to install any applications that the host has not provided which could be necessary to improve their business performance.
Privacy:Being housed in individual compartments, VPS gives your website the privacy and isolation that a dedicated server offers. People with proper authority alone can enter your server area.
Secure:Each VPS account is assigned a
dedicated IP. This enhances the safety and assures the fallouts of a bad neighbor does not have any effect on your business availability. In the same way, unlike in shared hosting, if a neighbor website is hacked and compromised, it will not spread to your business.
Affordable:VPS hosting continues sharing of the server which brings down the costs considerably since the server expenditure is split among all the websites. When you are on a VPS you enjoy the features of a dedicated server minus its high costs. VPS should be your first choice when your business outgrows the shared hosting.
