Blogs and VPS Hosting

Few years ago business owners and individuals wanted to have a professional websites to attract visitors. Most of them were one way communication methods. But today people like to have a blog rather than having a website. We can see many CMSs (Content Management System) with variety of blogging features such as Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, etc. Blogs are good since visitors and/or customers get a chance to reply or give any feedback to the content of the blog pages or blog articles. 

Today, there are more than 70,000,000 blogs hosted in WordPress alone. And there are about 500 million blogs worldwide and the number is increasing every day as hundreds of blogs are being hosted every day. While most of the bloggers only get few visitors every day, there are some bloggers who may get hundreds of hits per day, which would make them move forward from shared hosting. For those power bloggers, combining all their blogs and websites and hosting them on a VPS will be a way to get a higher level of performance and uptime.

  

VPS hosting has a number of advantages over Shared hosting. And with WordPress, VPS hosting can bring you the advantages of dedicated hosting, but at a really lower price. Even with the most basic VPS hosting solution available on the market, power bloggers, who will get higher traffic even with few posts, can get the resources to handle that traffic.  

Advantages of VPS Blogging.

One of the most important advantages of VPS hosting is getting your own IP address. And with a unique IP address, the stability and the reliability of your site gets increased. You won’t be affected by any of the actions of the other users who are also hosted in the same server.  

Another advantage is the higher level of privacy and security. With the new Hyper-V technology, Virtual Private Servers can now offer the level of security as of the security level of a dedicated server. So even if someone in the same server gets hacked, your server will still be safe and sound. And since you get root access along with full administrative rights, you have total control over the content hosted on the server.

  

Customization is another advantage you get with VPS hosting. VPSs are almost as customizable as dedicated servers. And you can install all the apps and software packages, including WordPress, with the use of a platform like websitePannel.

The reason why VPSs are often referred to as VDSs (Virtual Dedicated Servers) is their ability to provide each user with dedicated resources. It can offer you dedicated RAM, CPU, disk space and bandwidth. And only a predetermined number of VPSs will be installed on one physical server, and you can update or reboot your VPS at anytime you want without affecting any other user in the same physical server.  

With Virtual Private Servers, a single user can never get away with all the bandwidth and/or any other resources because all the VPSs are allocated with its own resources and are not sharing the resources, like on a Shared host.  However, the resources are also scalable, which means that any user can upgrade their resources on the fly. With VPS hosting anyone can experience swifter upload times and reduced latency even with higher traffic levels.  

Another added advantage of VPS hosting is multi blog or multi site hosting. With VPS, bloggers can host multiple websites or blogs on their servers, like Joomla, WordPress, Drupal or Movabletype. With the ability to make use of several software platforms on a single server, bloggers get the capability of expanding their offers without reducing the quality.

With VPS hosting bloggers can make sure that they don’t miss out on potential customers or site visitors, which might go away if your site is loading slowly or is not working to its best possible capacity that would occur if they use Shared hosting. So when any blogger notices an increase of their traffic or has to manage a big number of blogs at once, it might be the time to move to VPS hosting.
