VPS Hosting and Why Your Business Needs It

Many business owners choose Virtual Private Server hosting over dedicated web hosting for plenty of good reasons. One of the many reasons VPS is growing in popularity is because it has immensely grown and matured as a service in the past couple of years, as more businesses choose to adopt cloud and virtual servers to meet their specific data and web hosting needs. VPS can be considered a hybrid between shared and dedicated web hosting in that it allows dedicated hosting services within a shared network. This gives websites the same advantages as a dedicated web hosts offer in the form of a cheaper, shared service.

VPS hosting is a good option for web business owners because it allows for faster performance and page load times. The time it takes for your website or application to load immensely impacts your web performance. Statistics show that visitors are likely to leave a site when pages do not load within 6 to 7 seconds upon their first click. Speed to load is also a ranking factor used by search engines (particularly Google) when determining your place in web searches.

Jumping ahead to dedicated web hosting means a significant upfront investment, whereas VPS hosting allows you to scale up or down, cheaper, as needed. With the right VPS hosting plan, it is easy to upgrade or downgrade the resources that are allocated to your server according to your needs. This scalability is also possible without having to worry about downtime. A VPS hosting plan gives you the power of a virtually isolated server without the heavy cost of a dedicated server. A managed VPS server is also a lot more secure than a shared host because you have an isolated resource container that is independent of everyone else’s within the same network, which means you are virtually unaffected by the issues your neighbors might be facing.
