Dedicated Hosting vs. VPS Hosting


It is essential for anyone who wants to succeed online to have a website that continuously performs well. For this reason, most webmasters will be looking for a web hosting company that can offer them the technology and performance to help them grow and expand their websites. Without a powerful web hosting account, you will have a difficult time growing your business online as well as maintaining your website or your multiple websites. When looking through all of the web host plans, it is important to compare their features to ensure you get the best hosting plan that meets your needs. Two such hosting plans available are VPS Hosting and Dedicated Hosting. The following is a comparison between VPS and Dedicated Web Hosting.
VPS Hosting
VPS hosting is available in different types of host plans with some plans costing around 20.00 per month. VPS hosting plans have greater limits because there are more server resources allocated to the webmaster at any given time. When it comes to pricing, VPS plans offer a more flexible pricing. For instance, cloud hosting pricing is based on a pay-per-use resource structure.
VPS hosting is known to be very reliable and flexible, particularly with the cloud hosting environment. As well, cloud VPS hosting plans utilize an entire network of servers simultaneously so there is almost an unlimited amount of server resources available. Cloud VPS hosting is also a very powerful hosting method and it is the most expandable type of hosting currently available.
Dedicated Hosting
With dedicated hosting, the server is dedicated exclusively to you, unlike a shared hosting plan. There are just a few dedicated hosting plans that are offered so there are not any cheap dedicated hosting plans. Low end dedicated hosting plans will cost around $60.00 or more.
Dedicated hosting is more reliable and flexible. With dedicated hosting, web pages are loaded much faster and there is minimal downtime. As well, security is very efficient when using dedicated hosting. You can even get plans with server monitoring that includes security monitoring 24/7/365.
When choosing the best plan that meets your needs, professional webmaster will generally choose dedicated hosting or cloud VPS due to the features and services offered which allows them to expand and grow their websites in a high performing environment. Most experts recommend basic VPS hosting for novice users. Your choice will depend on your business goals and your current and future hosting needs.
