What is VPS Hosting Used For?

VPS hosting is widely used for website hosting. It is an ideal server platform for a small growing website that has outgrown the facilities of a shared hosting. It fits in the budget of the small business since cost-wise it is slightly higher to the shared hosting and gives all the features of a dedicated machine without the high costs. A small business will not require the complete resources that a dedicated server offers.

VPS hosting can be used in many other ways.

Become a Reseller: You could become a host by leasing out your server space. You buy a reseller hosting plan from a reliable hosting company like Go4hosting. Create your own plans using your brand name.

Use it as a Gaming Server: Host your own gaming server and play Minecraft or similar games with family or friends.

Use it as a Backup Machine: If you have space left over in your VPS, you could use it as a backup server to your critical applications off-site.

Testing: If you are a website developer, you can use the VPS to do your experiments with the website you are building. Use it to test their functionalities, speed, response, OS setup, software etc.

Personal Syncing Service: You may be using more than one device to access the internet. You can sync your files and data across all the devices in a personal setup using the Virtual Private Server.

Seeding Torrents: VPS is useful for people that use their computer for torrenting. You may be downloading or uploading a torrent file and it can drain away considerable resources of your physical computer. Use the VPS for your torrenting activities.
