What to Consider when Choosing a VPS Host [Explained]

Last Updated on March 27, 2020 by Amar Ilindra Leave a Comment

Whether you are getting started with your eCommerce business or you are maintaining a blog or personal website, there is one very important aspect that cannot be overlooked when creating your site, but is often the last thing that people think about: web hosting.

Cost control

The majority of people approach finding a VPS (virtual private server) host purely from a financial perspective. While cost is indeed an important factor, you want to keep a couple of things in mind when considering your price range. First, remember that quality hardware costs money, so ultimately you are going to get what you pay for. This doesn’t mean that you need to shoot to the top and go with the most expensive option. Ultimately, you need to assess what exactly it is that you are getting for the price that you are investing, and decide from there what best suits your needs. Obviously if you are operating an eCommerce site, your needs will be different than writing a blog. Evaluate your requirements using a site such as Host1Plus, then take your time and compare your options.

Planning for mishaps

Often when it comes to business investments, you need to proceed with the cautionary mindset that you are waiting for the other shoe to drop. Put simply, this means that you need to think ahead and consider where things may possibly go wrong, as well as what you stand to gain from this venture. Your VPS server is no different, which is why it is very important to look into the kind of tech support that the VPS hosting company offers.

Ideally, you want something with 24-hour service so that you can receive help as soon as you are experiencing a problem. You also want to ensure that the support is efficient and reliable, as well as personable. Although most companies will advertise good customer service and IT support, this is not always the case. Do yourself a favor and read through some customer experience reviews to get an idea of how others have found the service.

Cloud connected

Whether to go for a cloud vs. dedicated host is really a matter of preference, performance, and plans for future growth. With cloud options, you pay only for what you use, which is a big drawing factor, you don’t have to worry about hardware maintenance, and there is no limit to how far you can scale. Scaling is essential for being able to accommodate business growth and increased web traffic. The downside to cloud versions is that scaling up bandwidth or increasing disk space and storage tends to be more expensive.

On the other hand, with dedicated servers you pay for top performance, regardless of what you use, but for this reason performance is often more reliable. However, scaling ability is limited, even if it is cheaper, and software must be maintained and updated. Ultimately, it all boils down to what option is best for meeting the needs of your site.

There are other things to consider too, of course; however, if you focus on these three key concerns, you are well on your way to finding the right VPS hosting service.
