Web Hosting With Virtual Private Server
Web Hosting with Virtual Private Server (VPS) offers an intermediate option between shared web hosting and dedicated server hosting. VPS technology divides a physical system of a server into partitions that provide each virtual reproduction with guaranteed resources – disk space, memory and CPU cores – that they don’t share with other servers compared with shared web hosting; this results in increased functionality and performance compared with shared web hosting; making VPS hosting an excellent choice for websites or applications requiring more advanced hardware resources, like eCommerce websites requiring secure online payments online payments etc.
VPS hosting allows you to select an operating system best suited to your needs, install custom software programs and customize website settings – including installing and customizing cPanel (the world’s most popular hosting control panel). Furthermore, there is less of a risk for security breaches compared to shared web hosting. Dedicated hosting even goes further by dedicating all hardware setup to only one customer at a time; similar to living in your own house or condo but protected against theft of personal data and intellectual property.
Your website storage medium depends on which hosting plan you select; depending on this decision, either traditional hard disk drives or solid state drives (SSD) could be chosen as its medium of choice. SSDs boast faster read and write speeds and better reliability compared to their hard counterparts; making SSDs ideal for high traffic websites as it ensures optimal performance even under heavy loads.
