How to Use VPS Hosting

There are several benefits that your business will get when you use VPS hosting over the shared hosting. When your website is housed on a VPS, you will get dedicated resources. It is a [url]virtual machine[/url] that runs its copy of operating system and the customers get administrative access to their OS server. This allows them to install any software that runs on that OS. Register your account with a VPS hosting service provider like Go4hosting. Login to your account.

Choose either Linux or Windows operating system. Select the appropriate plan that you think will be sufficient for your business. If you are on a Linux vps server, you should download SSH client on your PC , enter the IP designated to your account in the Host name field and login. Change password for better security.

If your website is on a Windows VPS server, type the prompt “MSTSC” or use the Remote Desk Protocol(RDP). Enter the IP address that Go4hosting has provided to your account in the RDP window. You can get access to use your VPS.

It is also important that you install anti-virus software. It is difficult to remember an IP hence it is usually alternatively referred by a domain name. Go4hosting can assist you in getting a domain. You must connect your domain to the IP by modifying the A record. This can be done by changing the MX and NS records.

When you use VPS hosting, you get access to the dedicated server features at the price slightly higher than the shared hosting.
