What is VPS Hosting?

Virtual private servers or VPS hosting as its more commonly known. Has a look and feel like a dedicated server. So gives you full root access allowing you to configure your server in whatever way you wish. The main difference with a VPS is that it is a larger server separated into it virtualisations.

Virtualisation is a virtual (rather than actual) version of a server. So each instance will have its own dedicated CPU, RAM, disc space. Just like a dedicated server. However, unlike a dedicated server, it can have more CPU speed, ram or disc space added without downtime also as there would be multiple instances of a VPS on a single (more powerful) server. Hosting multiple instances on one server allows web hosting companies to reduce costs, making VPS hosting relatively cheap compared to a similar specification dedicated server.

What to look for in a VPS

When searching for a VPS provider, it is essential to know what you are looking for in a VPS. There are many different options available with virtual private servers. As virtual private servers are essentially a mini dedicated server, you will have full access (root) to all the running of the server. Including installing / updating software, firewalls, and tweaking the server to run how you want. So what questions should you ask yourself before selecting a provider?

Benefits of VPS Hosting

Before we get started, let’s quickly go over the different types of web hosting available:

Shared Hosting

Shared hosting is one of the most common types of web hosting. The allure of shared hosting is that its low cost and effective. You have one large server with hundreds of websites hosted on that server sharing resources, such as CPU, RAM and disk space. By pooling server resources, companies can provide feature-packed web hosting services at a low cost.

Dedicated Server

On the other end of the scale, you have dedicated servers. A dedicated server is a single physical server that is solely for you. Dedicated servers are not cheap. However, come with clear benefits over other forms of hosting.

VPS Hosting

VPS hosting falls into that middle ground, a mix of shared hosting with the added benefit of guaranteed resources. You receive the cost benefits of sharing a larger server with other users with the added advantage over shared hosting that each VPS operated independently of each other. In addition, you can scale your server to suit your needs, unlike with a dedicated server.

VPS Hosting can fall into two categories. Single server, where virtual instances are created on one physical machine. Then you have Cloud VPS hosting where VPS is set up on a group of servers called a cloud. Many web hosting providers will also market shared hosting as Cloud Hosting too, so you need to understand that when comparing VPS plans that you are looking at VPS services rather than shared hosting.

Single vs Cloud VPS Hosting

You may be wondering what the benefits of single server VPS hosting are over Cloud VPS Hosting?

Single Server VPS Hosting

Before Cloud Hosting became popular, VPS hosting was the best option if you wanted to move away from shared hosting but didn’t need or couldn’t afford a dedicated server. It provided site owners guaranteed server resourced that you didn’t have to share with other websites. Additionally, they could up and run the server how they chose.

Single Server VPS Hosting Pros

  • Single server VPS hosting is cheaper – companies don’t need to invest in a cloud network.

Single Server VPS Hosting Cons

  • Even though you have a separate partition, there are other websites on the same server. Oversubscribed VPS servers can cause your site to slow if other websites are hogging a bunch of resources.
  • The capacity and hardware also limit your VPS on a physical server.

Cloud VPS Hosting

Cloud hosting has increased in popularity over the years as it provides additional benefits over a single server.

Cloud VPS Hosting Pros

  • Cloud VPS hosting draws the resources for many servers to offer excellent, consistent performance levels.
  • You eliminate the risk of downtime. By hosting your VPS across multiple machines, if one server should fail another takes over.

Cloud VPS Cons

  • You are limited to what operating systems you can install. Many cloud VPS providers do not allow installation of custom operating systems. So you are limited to their operating system options.

As you can see, cloud VPS hosting offers some distinct advantages over a single server VPS. As to what is best for you will depend on your requirements.

Is VPS hosting right for me?

As we discussed earlier, VPS hosting fills that vital middle ground between shared hosting and dedicated servers. However, a VPS is not always for everyone. For many non-technical website owners operating your own VPS server requires more technical understanding than what is needed when using a shared hosting service.

When should I choose a VPS server? 

A VPS server is best suited when you require more resources than your shared hosting provider can provide. Or that you need the flexibility that having your own server can provide, but don’t need a dedicated server. If you feel this sounds like you then a VPS would be the way forward.

Consider sider using a VPS when you have the following requirements : 

  • Your website has outgrown shared hosting – due to receiving a high number of visitors, consuming more bandwidth and resources.
  • You need a maximum level of control over software or to optimise a server for best performance.
  • Sharing (uploading or downloading) of larger files

The real benefits that come from a VPS are when you can configure your setup to provide the optimal hosting environment for your website.

Managed VPS Hosting

Server maintenance can be a daunting task if you are not an experienced admin. If you feel like managing your own VPS may be overwhelming. Then opting for a managed VPS can take care of much of the day to day maintenance. Server management can come in many different forms. Some companies will set up and maintain the server for you like they would one of their own. Others will perform the initial deployment, setup and updates.

What kind of management that is offered will vary from company to company, so check what is included meets your requirements.

Unmanaged VPS Hosting

For those, that want to maintain their server, an unmanaged VPS is a perfect solution. After the initial setup, you are left to your own devices to run and manage your server. Generally, the web host will only support hardware or network issues.

How Much RAM will my VPS Need?

The amount of RAM needed will depend on various factors, such as how many websites you are planning to host, the amount of traffic these sites receive, to what software you plan on installing.

If you are planning on installing a control panel such as cPanel, then you will need a minimum of 1GB RAM with 2GB being the ideal choice (this is running CentOS 7).

What about if you just wanted to install WordPress and no control panel? A small WordPress website doesn’t typically require a considerable amount of RAM, 512mb to 1GB per site should ensure good performance.

Look at the software of service that you are planning to run on your VPS and this should provide you with a good indication of the amount of RAM you will need.

How Many CPU Cores will I need?

The number of cores needed will vary depending on your needs. Typically most VPS servers will run well with 1 – 2 CPU Cores. Unless you know your VPS will require a lot of processing power then stick with this then increase the number if you feel you are producing a significant load on your server.
