VPS stands for Virtual Private Servers and acts as a data and web file storage operated by a cloud or web hosting provider. Using virtualization technology, VPS hosting splits a single physical machine into multiple private server environments where they share the resources. When compared to shared and dedicated hosting, VPS hosting sits in between the two in terms of performance levels, flexibility, and control.

What is VPS Hosting?

There are three main types of VPS hosting:

Unmanaged/Self-Managed VPS Hosting: A hands-on approach that requires technical expertise or in-house resources to manage server-related tasks. With unmanaged VPS hosting, the business owner takes care of all server responsibilities while the hosting provider manages the physical server and its availability, making it more suitable for established businesses with the necessary IT skills.
Managed VPS Hosting: A hands-off approach that lets business owners focus fully on other business tasks while the hosting provider handles server-related responsibilities like core updates, maintenance, and software installation, so business owners can focus fully on other business tasks.
Semi-Managed VPS Hosting: The middle ground between other options, with the basic unmanaged hosting provided and the added services of core software installation and support.

You should consider switching to VPS hosting if you need to:

Handle more website traffic: Reduce page load times and wait times as your website traffic grows since it can handle a higher volume of requests compared to shared hosting.
Customize applications: Gain more control over your server environment to install custom software and integrate better with existing programs like CRM systems.
Reduce server errors: Enhance your website’s performance as you add more content or complex functionality, as VPS hosting can handle compute-heavy websites better because they’re not competing with other sites for processing power.

Benefits of VPS Hosting

There are many reasons why VPS hosting is preferable. For example, VPS hosting provides:

Protection from resource-intensive attacks
Extra security through the addition of firewalls, antivirus, and other software measures
Fast and reliable performance due to having your own bandwidth
Round-the-clock support focused full-time on server maintenance and reduced downtime
Optimized environment for performance and security
