VPS Hosting

Q: Do I need managed or unmanaged VPS hosting?

If you choose to have a managed VPS hosting package, you’ll be asking us to take responsibility for the configuration of the server, the maintenance of it, and keeping it safe. On the other hand, if you would like to be in control of all these factors, then unmanaged is the right choice for you. Choosing unmanaged will require a solid technical knowledge to effectively manage your VPS yourself. For more information about the difference between the two, read the difference between managed and unmanaged VPS here.

Q: Is VPS hosting the right choice for my website?

A virtual private server is often the solution for people looking for more resources than shared or reseller hosting packages offer – but who are not yet ready (or not yet willing to pay) for a dedicated server. As a result, VPS hosting is often thought of as a halfway point between shared hosting and a dedicated server. If your current web or reseller hosting does not have enough resources – such as Disk Space, or Data Transfer – to meet your needs, but you don’t want the expense of a dedicated server , then you should consider one of our VPS hosting packages.

Q: How can a managed VPS help me?

Once a website reaches a certain size, or has enough traffic coming to it, the needs and requirements begin to change. If you have been on a shared hosting package and need further customisation and control over your hosting solution, then VPS is the right choice for you. On the other end of the conversation, if you have a dedicated server that is vastly over the top for the demand your sites put on it, downscaling to a managed VPS could save you a lot of costs.

Q: What are the benefits of VPS hosting?

Perhaps you have a particularly large, high-volume website, or have specific requirements for your hosting. If this is the case, chances are you’ve looked into dedicated servers. The catch here, however, is that dedicated servers often come with a substantial price tag. This is where VPS hosting comes into its own. VPS hosting allows for greater customisation and additional control over your environment when compared with shared hosting. It can also grow and adapt to the traffic your site receives and the resources it demands as it matures.

Q: Why Linux VPS's? Is Windows VPS hosting an option?

It’s simple – the virtualisation performance and stability of a Linux package is far superior to that of a Windows VPS hosting plan. The uptime and speed of your website is important, which is why Linux makes sense every time. Another great thing about Linux is that their virtual private servers offer a huge range of compatibility, supporting WordPress, Joomla and Drupal. Linux VPS’s are also compatible with key web development technology including PHP, MySQL, Perl, CGI, HTML, HTML5, JavaScript, PostreSQL and more. Not only all this, but ASP/.NET translators can also be installed. Needless to say, you’re well supported with Linux!
