What Are VPS Servers Used For?

August 11, 2020

If you’ve done work online, you’re probably familiar with the term virtual private network or VPN. A virtual private server or VPS is similar in the sense that your network and server are private instead of shared. Generally, a VPS server is somewhere between a shared and dedicated server. However, while you’re sharing server space with others, the space is divided so that there are multiple virtual servers available. If you are in business for yourself or are involved in programming or web design, it’s important to understand more about VPS servers.

Components of VPS Servers

A VPS server is made up of a few specific components. The physical server consists of hard disk space, RAM and CPU specifications. The components ensure that each website that is using the server gets the necessary resource allocation.

What are the Benefits of VPS Servers?

VPS servers offer numerous benefits for businesses regardless of whether they are startups or have been operating for many years. If you own a business, you can reap the following advantages of VPS:

Better flexibility:

VPS servers offer better flexibility than shared hosting. This is because you are free to customize both the hardware and software that comes with them and run your company’s own applications.

Cheaper cost:

A virtual private server is cheaper to run and maintain than a dedicated server no matter what industry your business is in.

Better security:

VPS servers offer better security as well due to not being required to share server space. This also frees up your company website and ensures constant uptime. The hosting provider Liquid Web says security is improved with the provider’s “proprietary software keeps your server up-to-date with the latest patches to keep your VPS security system safeguarded against hackers.”

Independent FTP and POP access:

Your website is unaffected by the FTP and POP usage of other users.

Root access:

VPS servers are like your own independent server, which means you get root access. As a result, you are free to configure anything yourself on the server.

How Do Businesses Use VPS Servers?

There are various ways businesses use VPS servers. If your business falls under any of the following categories, you should consider getting a VPS server:

  • Your business is ever-expanding and needs more space than offered by shared hosting
  • You expect your company website to get a huge boost in traffic
  • Your business is going to host multiple websites and needs additional resources
  • Your website needs better privacy and higher performance
  • You want to have full control over your web server

How to Choose the Right VPS Server

Certain aspects can determine how you can choose the right VPS server. In addition to the price, you will want to know about the following details of a server:

  • Its environment, typically Windows or Linux
  • Whether it’s managed or unmanaged
  • How scalable it is
  • Whether it’s conventional or cloud-based

It’s important to know that VPS can be used for more than simply web hosting. You can gain additional file storage, host your own server and test applications if you develop your very own web apps. No matter what the case, VPS can be essential to your work.
