Is Free VPS Hosting Secure?

Free VPS hosting service providers give customers a basic account that they can upgrade as per the referrals; however, managing a VPS server is an uphill task.

Advantages -

1. Free-of-cost.
2. Customers can avail a few good packages of free Linux or Windows VPS hosting that includes 2.4 GHz processing power and 20 GB storage.
3. Free support (for instance via Live Chat).

Disadvantages -

1. Customer need to be qualified in order to manage VPS hosting. Through free VPS hosting, servers can be managed and maintained. In case, your software server crashes or security issue arises, then he/she needs to fix it up.
2. No regular backups. Though, a few hosting providers offer 30 days backup servies and paid one provides regular backups.
3. Customers only get a basic performance and storage level that might need to be increased.
4. Access and security. Customer’s data can be secured on server for long anywhere across the world.

In a nutshell, availing free Linux VPS hosting or free Windows VPS hosting is an apt option; however, customer need to check that does this service match the security and performance levels of their business requirements.

Overall, it can be said that free VPS hosting is secured only if a customer know how to manage a server. If not, then it is apt to opt for fully managed VPS hosting.
