How to Provide VPS Hosting?

VPS hosting is an in-between solution to the two traditional hosting platforms of shared server hosting and dedicated server hosting. VPS offers more resources and security than the shared hosting. It goes on to match the services of a dedicated server without the high costs. VPS hosting is generally provided with two options of managed VPS and self-managed VPS.

VPS hosting gives you root access to configure the server and allows you to install your own software applications. This will require you to have technical skills to monitor and manage the software. When you opt for unmanaged VPS hosting, the host will not provide any technical assistance except to ensure uptime and high speed connectivity. They will maintain the applications they install. In case you have installed any software of your own, you must take care of updates and security patches on your own. The host will provide you the service at an additional fee. Alternatively, you can opt for the managed VPS hosting, where you are completely freed of server related issues. The host will manage, monitor and maintain the entire infrastructure and provide 24/7 support.
