How to choose VPS hosting?

It is a wise decision if you have chosen VPS hosting for your website. You must consider a few factors to get the best results of the VPS plans.

Managed or Unmanaged: VPS gives you root access to your server. It means you should manage the server and monitor it for performance. It is called self-managed VPS hosting. In case you do not want to take this responsibility, your hosting provider will do it for you. This is called managed VPS hosting.

Type of Server: you have a choice of Linux VPS or Windows VPS server. Choose the one you are comfortable in. Linux is more affordable than Windows as the latter carries a license fee to be purchased.

Resources: Check the plans offered very meticulously. How much RAM and server space are being allocated. Is there a restriction on data transfer? What is the choice of Linux distributions the host is offering? How many IP addresses are you given? What is the backup plan they offer?

Support: This is important as you never know when you may need them. The customer service team should be available 24/7 to assist you in emergencies.

Price: Don’t let price be the only consideration. Look for an affordable VPS provider. The cheapest VPS hosting provider may compromise on services somewhere.
