What is a VPS Hosting Plan?

A VPS hosting plan is what you must consider when you outgrow the services of a shared hosting. VPS plans are slightly higher in cost to the shared hosting but offer greater stability and go on to match the dedicated server in its features without the high costs. When you buy a VPS hosting plan, there is a range of benefits your website can enjoy.

You can choose between Linux and Windows operating system. Most of the VPS hosting providers offer you a range of plans to pick the best one suitable for your business.

Although there are several other websites hosting on the server along with yours, each of you gets assured resources. Unlike in shared hosting, the activities of other websites on the server will not have any impact on your site.

Your website will perform to its usual capacity even if a neighbor pulls more resources. It may slow down or crash only if the resources in the plan you chose are not sufficient to manage the traffic. You must then upgrade to a higher plan or platform.

With a VPS you get root access to configure the server as you deem fit for your business. You have the facility to host any applications without any restrictions. The VPS hosting plans come pre-installed with a control panel for you to manage your account.

You have total privacy as your website is housed in an individual compartment where only people have authorized are allowed access. You are provided with a dedicated IP that keeps your site secure.
