Virtual server hosting offers clients a cost-effective option for hosting their websites in a way that appears to be dedicated, yet does not have the high price of dedicated hosting. It can be thought of simply as a server within a bigger server.

Each website is located in an isolated room with sufficient resources as CPU, RAM, bandwidth, etc.

How to choose the right VPS hosting?

Choice of OS

Whether Windows or Linux, hosting providers offer a choice of OS as per need of user.

Managed vs Unmanaged

If the whole virtual server needs personal monitoring of administrator, then it is called unmanaged VPS. In such case the admin is the only responsible individual for server software and security problems.

If hosting server provide the features of total monitoring and management (or shares some responsibility with admin), then it is called managed VPS.

Number of CPUs & Clock Speed

VPS run on virtual CPU, therefore before opting for any hosting provider user must properly check for the number of CPUs and their clock speed rate which describes their performance in a sec.

RAM

It is another important factor as more RAM means more data can be stored and sent to CPU, in return the better efficiency of CPU and server at last.

Storage

With increase of dynamic sites in the web world the need of more space for their storage is being felt. Unlike static websites, dynamic sites need more time to upload and download for the reason of their heavy graphic content. All such factors count for more storage and bandwidth.

Backup

It’s important to maintain a regular backup of any data. Websites running on servers located at different global locations are mostly controlled by hosting servers. User must choose such hosting which offer backup features in their package.

VPS server hosting offers its clients with a cost-effective and feature full package that guarantees them of more space than shared hosting, but with cheap price plans than dedicated hosting.
