VPS Web Hosting

Private Web Hosting Service

VPS hosting is a method used to split a web server. If you want to grow your website online, using a VPS hosting plan can help you achieve your goal. Having a private server will help decrease your website upload time when a user comes to your live website. Upload time is measured in fractions of a second. If your website takes more than 2 or 3 second to upload, visitors will get frustrated and click the back button and move on to your competitor’s online store.

 

More importantly, will this type of server solution be helpful or harmful. The best way to go is by getting a dedicated server or hosting plan. Do you think Google, Amazon, or eBay use shared web hosting? I would have say, “They do not.” These major players use their own servers and don’t share with anyone. Don’t give your hopes up yet, shared hosting can be very useful for beginners to understand the basics of web.

5 Tips For Choosing A VPS Web Hosting

1. Stay within your budget – VPS web hosting comes with a price tag. Some VPS hosting plans can be as cheap as $5 per month or be as expensive as $95 per month. Compare different plans that fit within your month budget.

 

2. Compare Bandwidth & Disk space – VPS hosting plans offer a variety of bandwidth and disk space. Some plans offer unlimited bandwidth and disk space and charge you a small monthly fee. If you are starting a website for the first time, 40 GB of disk space and 400 GB of bandwidth should be plenty for you.

 

3. Compare Prices – Comparing hosting prices and monthly fees can be frustrating. Big name companies like godaddy offer affordable hosting plans and they have a lot to offer. However, they have poor customer support and don’t care about uptime or speed.

 

4. Find Reviews – It is always important to read through web hosting reviews to get an idea of what customers are saying about a web hosting company. You will always find poor reviews; however, it is important to see what the hosting company does well. You will have to look at both the pros and cons.

 

5. Write Down Your Objective – Before you purchase web hosting, write down your objects, ask questions like, “How many visitors will my hosting plan support?” and “How big will my website be?” If your website is going to be over 100 pages then you should probably it a dedicated server. VPS hosting is split hosting, meaning you are more than likely sharing your “private” server with someone else.

Domain Changes?

Registering Your Domain

When registering a new or existing domain, most of the time you will have to pay a yearly onetime fee. Register fees can vary from $9.99 to $15.00. Anything more than that is way too much and you should go elsewhere. Thinking of a creative domain name can be a challenge. Moreover, many webmasters have 5, 6, or even 7 domains at one time. This does not mean their all successful. However, webmasters use this “tactic” because they are not sure of the direction they are going in or they want to see what domain name catches on faster. Lastly, before you start, please do the research and then get a web hosting plan that fits your budget and offers you the most value for your money.
