What is VPS hosting?

When we talk about virtual, it always means which can’t be seen with naked eyes, it’s like imagination which can be accessed easily. VPS, as the term suggests, the virtual private server is a next-generation advanced technology that allows you to have your own private and secure server as compared to other dedicated shared servers.

Take an example of an apartment in a multistorey building where you rent it and customize it according to your preferences. Having your parking slot secured is indeed the best you can have. Similarly, VPS is a server reserved for you where you can host your websites and can have your server with customization available. Your server will be one of the servers running on a common server that is, the physical hardware or the owner. Like the landlord of the building.

Why VPS hosting?

Many OS provides different servers that are secure and protective, but the Linux VPS server could be the best option you can look forward to. With the advancement in technology and the rise in internet traffic, every host needs to make its website more accessible and faster as compared to other hosting sites. VPS allows you to have your own set of cloud hardware like your RAM and memory, which in result increases the level of accessibility. It is the best option as compared to other servers because you don’t need to share your server with other websites. Most of the website owners use shared servers, which eventually increases the time of accessibility resulting in loss of traffic.

 Pros of VPS hosting

• The biggest advantage of virtual private servers is that you have your own set of amenities that you are given by the head server and can ask for more in case the demand is high. For the traffic on the internet, it’ll be more easily accessible and faster as compared to other dedicated Servers.
• With increasing cases of hacking and cyber failures, VPS is more secure than other servers. It’s because you don’t have your ISP. It’s with the head machine. So you don’t have your own IP address which makes it more secure and reliable.
• It’s indeed a time and money-saving thing.  VPS and hybrid server hosting solutions are cheaper than before. You can have a plan of as low as 25 USD and you have your full control over the resource.
• For small scale websites like e-commerce and blogging sectors, it’ll be the best option as it can increase the speed and lowers the traffic and congestion on the internet.
