Virtual servers are created by splitting a powerful physical server into two or more smaller portions. Each portion can run different operating systems and they function like an independent server.
Virtual servers are ideal for you when you find your website frequently slowing down due to excessive traffic requests. It means your website has outgrown the shared hosting, but you are not yet ready for the
dedicated hosting.
VPS hosting creates an environment of a dedicated server within a shared hosting platform. Virtual servers copy all the features of a dedicated server at a price slightly higher to that of a shared hosting.
There are many benefits to an organization if they move to virtual server hosting.
Your website will be housed in individual compartments. You are allocated dedicated resources and a dedicated IP address.
Virtual servers give root access to the server. You can customize and configure the server in any manner. You may install any software applications that your business may need.
Virtual servers give you more resources than the shared hosting. You will have more reliability since you have your share of resources that are exclusively dedicated to your business. Risks of server crashing are eliminated in virtual servers.
Virtual servers are secure and private. Your business continues to be available even if a neighboring website account is hacked. The servers are protected with firewalls, anti-virus, and anti-malware solutions. Your account will not be affected due to any misdeeds by a neighbor. Your website is protected with a
dedicated IP address.
