A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual server that mimics a dedicated server environment but is actually installed on a physical server that is shared by many other users. In other words multiple virtual servers run within a physical server and have its own share of resources including memory, storage space, bandwidth, etc. VPS hosting seeks to combine important features of dedicated hosting like better control and security with the affordability of shared hosting.  

Moving as such to VPS hosting from shared hosting is one of the best shifts you will make as your business operations start to grow and your website starts generating significantly more online traffic. You website despite residing on the same physical server with other websites will operate in an isolated environment with its own set of dedicated resources. 

In the following paragraphs we shall look at some of the important features and benefits of virtual private server hosting and how it can help increase your online revenue and enhance your brand reputation.

Five major benefits of virtual private server hosting

A VPS offers you full root access and your site has complete operational separation in a similar manner as a dedicated server. Each website, unlike shared hosting operates in a completely isolated environment and as such remains unaffected by what other users are doing on the same server.  Additionally, all the websites have their own unique IP address which ensures that they remain immune to any nefarious activities carried out by other users.

Virtual dedicated server hosting is cheap and this is one of its most striking features. Dedicated server hosting is much more expensive than shared hosting, and as such beyond the financial capabilities of a large number of organizations. VPS offers a lot of flexibility, scalability, reliability and secure web environment without the exorbitant cost associated with dedicated hosting. 

There are numerous configurations available for VPS hosting systems. Website owners who are technically proficient can carry out all updation tasks on their own. VPS offers a lot of options enabling account holders to take matters into their own hand without having to run to the hosting provider for all minor and major tasks.  A segregated environment ensures that an account holder is free to do almost anything within his/her own virtualised space.

Ease of scalability

A visually pleasing, quickly loading and informative website is vital to an organization’s online revenue generation.  VPS hosting is the best bet for a website that witnesses seasonal spikes in online traffic or a website that is expected that is on the verge of expansion.  Scaling your hosting resources in response to sudden rise in online traffic to effectively eliminate any glitches or issues of downtime or technical issues is of utmost importance for a firm. 

VPS also offers tremendous amount of flexibility. It allows you to install and run operating system and software of your own choice. You can also carry out rebooting, updating, downloading, etc of new software and applications.
