Reasons for using VPS over shared hosting

* One of the reasons for using VPS of shared hosting is the level of performance you get with it. Like previously said, with shared hosting all of your resources are shared, but with VPS every resource that you posses, is yours that is it has been assigned by the VPS administrator to you and you are the only one who can use it. The reason for this is because of the virtual network used to create a VPS. VPS server is in fact a dedicated server divided into multiple parts using a virtualization manager. On one physical server you get multiple servers you can then distribute to customers which need it. All of the created VPS on a single physical location are then completely isolated from each other, ensuring constant performance to the customers with the package they have selected.

* The control over your server is totally up to you, besides the maintenance of the server itself, for which the technicians are hired. As for the applications, OS, and the security it is all up to you to establish it yourself, however in a fully-managed environment (like ours) you can request for help at any time with the tech support, for any trouble or uncertainties that you might have.

* Because of the resources that you use are strictly yours the chances of infecting are put down to a minimum, in fact you can only infect yourself with viruses without proper protection.

* If you had a shared hosting account, then you have surely encountered mail spam issues, because of one individual person and it’s spamming over the internet. These kinds of problems are no more, unless you bring it up on yourself. Every account and server has its own unique IP address.

* Flexibility and reliability are on a whole different level from the shared hosting. With the flexibility you can change your resources at any time. What I meant to say is, if you a necessity of adding or deduction of some resource you can do it at any time, and the whole process is finished in minutes, without the complete physical server being shutdown. The only thing you have to do is log off out of your account while it has been finished, and after logging on, you have your additional resources available for usage, or you have less resources to use, depending what you need.

* VPS server is a very reliable technology and is famous for its fail proof system. Depending on the company there are different ways in protecting your data from being lost. One of them is through RAID 10, which automatically copies your data to other storage space. This has showed a very successful way of keeping storage as in case of breakdown, the broken HDD is physically replaced after which the data is copied from the HDD that is set for data to be parallel written.

* Around the clock technical support which includes system monitoring, installing software updates, configuration of necessary software and other things, are all part of a good VPS hosting company and is one of many reasons why a VPS hosting is far better than the shared hosting.

As compare to resources allocation vps is always better than shared hosting. Even these days lot of people starting with vps, then later upgrade their package to cloud hosting. IMO, the best advantage of vps is, it offers environment like dedicated hosting and with root access customer can install any legal application of his choice. However, several reputable web hosts offers cloud shared hosting as well.

Some VPS solutions are not really stable and may work even worse than some shared accounts due to the lack of physical resources, so it is important to make a proper choice of provider, where I may recommend the ones from hostingsource.com and greenolivetree.net hosting providers which I have got personal experience with.

Re :

With Cloud Hosting, you can access your data at all times – not just while you are in the office, a physical storage center is no longer required, lots of them have a pay structure where you only need to pay when the service is used, relieves some responsibilities on IT Professionals and frees up some of their time in the office and simply scalable so companies can make changes in storage base as per their requirements.

Just move up as soon as your account becomes unsustanable. That is the most reasonable reason.

Good solutions for start and going are provided by santrex.net and glowhost.com .
