There are many advantages of VPS hosting. The advantages are given below :
- PERFORMANCE :
Shared hosting is always dependent on the act and good behavior of other’s accounts. If one account violates their terms of service and sends out a mass-mailing of spam, this will load the server and negatively effect the performance of all accounts on that server.
Virtual Private Server have assured resources. One customer can’t run away with a big share of the resources. You service will run reliably and predictably. If you have a bad VPS neighbor, they will tend to performance only their own account, as every account appears like a different server to the Internet. They will not be capable to grab your memory when you require it, get your server blacklisted, etc. - HIGH CUSTOMIZABILITY :
VPS are very feature rich. They are mainly similar to a dedicated server. Many applications require that certain ports and protocols be opened or closed in the firewall. With Shared hosting, custom firewall configurations are not recommended for security reasons. Under the VPS, custom firewall configurations are feasible because of the partitioning between customers.
With a VPS, you can close ports using the IPTables feature.
You have your own IP Address.
You have Root Access.
Independence to reboot your VPS at any time.
You can customize services such as web, mail, database, panels, domains and much more.
The only limitation is you are not capable to install your own kernel. This is due to the nature of how a VPS work. - SECURITY :
Shared hosting is essentially complicated to secure properly. If any account on shared server is broken into, the criminal may cause damage to the entire server, causing extended outages. If a spammer causes the server to get blacklisted with Spam organizations, this may effect another accounts that produce legitimate mailings until the server is whitelisted again.
VPS accounts are insulated from each another, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access from hackers as well as another customers. The isolation of your account also minimizes the risk of being effect by a DoS attack that was intended for someone else. - SCALABILITY
VPS are inherently scalable. Where you require a minimal allotment to run a easy e-mail server or VPN end-point or a webserver with enough resources to support extended database applications and heavy traffic, there is always a VPS hosting plan to meet your requirements. Moreover you can anytime smoothly downgrade or upgrade your service with very little or no downtime! - UNLIMITED WEBSITES
Other benefits to VPS is the capability to handle various web sites. You would not run into problem with hardware sharing even if you run many different sites. Your access to server assets is assured through the utilization of server-side software such as Apache Virtual Hosts and same with VPS packages. VPS hosting plans are a bit pricier than shared hosting. But with more and more sites coming on-line. VPS provide better value for your server dollars when you can host as many sites as you want. When considering VPS plans, amortize the monthly costs over the number of sites you anticipate creating. You will rapidly find that VPS monthly costs are consistently lower than shared hosting on a per site basis.
There may be a small downside to VPS for some users. VPS = more responsibility. Which means you are liable for many of the software installations, site maintenance, site security and many of the another liabilities that come with on-line business ownership. If you do not know much about server side administration, VPS may be a bit more than you want to take on yourself. This is something to farm out to an expert if you are not familiar with maintaining a VPS, but you still require the power and control of VPS.
The proper solution – choose managed vps. In case of managed VPS hosting, the hosting provider will take care of those things for you and you can pay total monitoring to your websites content.
