A Complete Guide to Virtual Private Server Hosting

by Bond Walker i am a web developer

Before we get into the technicalities, let’s discuss what a VPS hosting is? It is a Virtual Private Server (VPS) that acts as a bridge between shared hosting and a dedicated hosting set-up that has the potential to run websites on your server. It consists of its own operating systems, applications, resources, and configurations that can also be customized. It’s a cost-effective method to enjoy the benefits of hosting services. In other words, a virtual private server is a part of a physical machine that can be rented for your business or brand’s requirements. There are three choices a person can make to host their website, i.e., Shared hosting, VPS hosting, and Dedicated server hosting.


All three kinds of hosting services have their purpose and offer for their users. Shared hosting is cheap and allows various sites to share a single server. It is a great way to utilize the resources, but it is not very powerful. Next is, Dedicated hosting, which is quite expensive and complicated to use, but it gives full control over all angles of a server administrator. The Virtual Private Server or the VPS hosting is usually either scalable or cloud-based and is mostly the default choice for serious business. It is a perfect option for those websites that want more control and server resources for their business.

The VPS hosting is, further, broadened into two parts, i.e., managed and unmanaged. The managed plan works similarly to that of shared hosting. But it takes care of the complete set-up process, which makes it an ideal choice for those who lack technical prowess or time to set their hosting system on their own. This way, you will be able to focus on your business instead of maintaining and configuring the system while running your websites faster than ever. In contrast, the self-managed or unmanaged VPS hosting enables you to have full control over your hosting experience and is less expensive than the managed hosting services. The complete administrative system is customizable because it gives you full access to the Root to help you meet your business requirements. A lot of web hosting companies offer VPS services, but some of them don’t provide both the options of managed and unmanaged hosting. So, before you buy any one’s plan for VPS services, make sure that they are offering both the options as you might need both to meet your business requirements in the long run.

Working of VPS hosting

Virtual Private Server Hosting uses a technology that enables the server to divide and allocate themselves for different users. The clients still share a single server, but they will have their own private virtual space where they can work independently. Every client will have their own space like they have an entire server space reserved for them. Every account that is linked to that server will have their private specified amount of RAM that they will require for their tasks, and the resources that the clients get is mentioned in the contract, and it will always remain intact, regardless of what the other clients choose. For most of the plans you use on your network, you will be able to add resources easily.

Shared hosting and VPS hosting works similar, but still there are a few differences between both the hostings, which are as under:

  • Shared Hosting- the client will share the server without the benefits of having a private virtual server. And, the websites do not run smoothly with others as a lot of them compete for the same resources on a server, and that resource is shared with other hosting options.
  • VPS is the advantage of dividing the server in advance so that every client’s virtual space remains protected. And because every client has their private environment, so they will not have any interruptions in their work. VPS allows customization and protection of your part of resources, which eventually makes room for more private disc space and resources.

Overall, we would recommend you to choose VPS over any other hosting as you will get an unparalleled experience, offers, and benefits. It will reduce the amount of time you spend on the maintenance of your website, and you can also customize it as per your requirements for ascending your business.
