What is Linux VPS Hosting?

Linux VPS hosting is running your virtual machine using the Linux operating system. Linux along with Windows is the two operating systems that are used in web server plans. Linux is stable, strong, and does not require frequent reboots whenever there is an update done.

Linux VPS hosting is the ideal choice for a business that has outgrown the shared hosting. When the traffic to your site increases, your site in a shared hosting platform will take a longer time to upload. It may crash under pressure and make your business unavailable. Linux VPS is more affordable than Windows VPS Hosting since there is a license fee that you must purchase for Windows software. Linux is open-source and free available for all.

In Linux VPS hosting, you get root access to the server. You may configure it in any manner and install any applications that you find necessary for your business. Linux servers come inbuilt with cPanel control panel that will enable you to manage your account with ease.

VPS hosting will mean you share the server with other websites but are assigned dedicated resources. This ensures that you will not suffer slow page loads or server crashes unless your traffic increases beyond the capacity. You then must move to a dedicated server.

It is recommended not to use Linux VPS if your website is built on the Microsoft technologies like ASP.NET. Linux is not compatible with the software and can create performance issues.

With Linux VPS, you can get similar features that a dedicated server offers minus the high costs.
