“Advantages of a VPS?”
by Anthony Giordano

Traditionally there have been two options when it comes to website hosting. You are either setup in a shared hosting environment or a dedicated server. Moving to a dedicated server can be costly preventing most from ever considering it. This is no longer the case. Now there’s something in between that provides most of the benefits of a dedicated server, but at a fraction of the cost. But how do I know if a VPS, or Virtual Private Server, is right for me?

Advantages of a VPS

Traditionally there have been two options when it comes to website hosting. You are either setup in a shared hosting environment or a dedicated server.  Moving to a dedicated server can be costly preventing most from ever considering it. This is no longer the case. Now there’s something in between that provides most of the benefits of a dedicated server, but at a fraction of the cost. But how do I know if a VPS, or Virtual Private Server, is right for me?

Here are a few advantages:

1. Performance – You have dedicated CPU, memory, hard drive, database, etc. allocated to your environment.  Your website won’t be sharing any resources.

2. Control – You will have complete access and control of your website and server environment. This includes, among others, Root access and the ability to run multiple websites or even additional software applications without incurring additional costs or hosting charges.

3. Customization – A common issue with shared hosting is the inability to customize. With a VPS you can add customer software, DLL’s or mailing programs not supporting by traditional web hosting.

4. Security – A VPS separates your website or application from all others. Keeping your database independent and all your information separated from all other customers.

5. Cost – You can get into a VPS for as little as $100/month. This is a fraction of what a traditional dedicated server can cost.

Still not sure if a VPS is the right move for you? Give us a call or send in a contact form and speak to one of our Sales Engineers today!

Comparing Linux VPS Options

When searching for the ideal Linux VPS Package there are a few questions you need to look at: 

• How many Virtual Servers do you need?
• What operating systems do you require?
• What virtualization platform do you want to utilize?
• Do you need a Private Dedicated Cloud?
• Is a control panel (cPanel) needed?

We offer extremely flexible fully managed and unmanaged Virtual Private Servers (VPS). With the EarthLink Virtual Private Server Cloud you can run any Linux operating system your application requires on a variety of Virtualization Platforms. 

Why choose a Linux VPS? Security, with a Virtual Private Server the key word is Private. You are the sole administrator and gatekeeper to your own operating system and information. Virtual Private Servers are the ideal fit for secure applications and e-commerce web sites.
