What is VPS?

VPS is a virtual private server and virtual dedicated server as similar, VPS runs its own OS and has its own hardware configuration. VPS has higher popularity more than shared hosting because VPS does not have any restriction, you can run any software without a limit of 24X7.

How VPS Works?

VPS hosting uses a parent server to host multiple virtual servers that are separated from each other. Using software called a hypervisor, the hosting company implements a virtual layer on top of the operating system to segment the virtual servers. The separation between virtual walls allows each user to install their own OS and software, creating a server that?s truly private, separated from others.

Benefits of VPS Hosting?

>> Reliable performance

>> own software

>> customization as per needs

>> Security

>> Multiple OS choice

How you can choose the right web hosting?

Web hosting is the biggest reason of your business’s success or failure. KLCWEB always recommended choosing the perfect web hosting for your site/business.

Here are some ideas to choose the best hosting.

1.) Buy a domain name and hosting plan from one place.

Most popular hosting providers offer both domain names and hosting plans. KLCWEB recommended that you will purchase both products at one place so you can manage both products very easily, you may receive a good discount. money is a very important concern time of the selecting web hosting provider.

2.) Check support service.

24 X 7 Live chat and helpdesk support is a must for website hosting, Generally, The web hosting provider offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee but after publishing the site on a live server. You may face such issues, or before purchasing a web hosting there are many question/query to ask them that’s why KLCWEB recommended that choose who’s offer 24X7 live chat or helpdesk support. However, KLCWEB offers 24X7 support.

3.)Choose right plan.

The biggest confusion is which plan is great for your site. Do not worry KLCWEB has the best plan for all websites. Usually, web hosting providers have multiples plan that’s great but sometimes it’s making a bit confusion. There is no major difference between the shared hosting, semi-dedicated, and VPS, the prices are almost the same as the year billing cycle. That’s why we are getting confused.

Shared hosting:

>> If your site does not require to run EXE or CMD script 24X7 and not have much traffic, you can select shared hosting is fully managed by the hosting company end so you can relax to manage server-side configurations. –KLCWEB As Shared hosting easy to manage and the cost is within budget.

Semi-Dedicated:

>> If your site does not require to run EXE or CMD script 24X7 and have more traffic, and you do not want to manage the server from your end, KLCWEB recommended a semi-dedicated powerful shared hosting plan. Semi-dedicated is not fully shared not 100% VPS. Semi-dedicated has powerful hardware components to provide fast and reliable website performance.

VPS:

>> Some e-commerce websites have EXE or CMD script and it’s running 24X7, you can consider the VPS plan, VPS has root access over a server but you think it little hard because VPS is not managed by a hosting company. As of now many VPS hosting companies offer fully managed VPS but it has a little cost for it.

4.) Email service

An email service is mandatory because site has to send email via SMTP or site owner needs webmail access to send/receive email. Ensure that hosting company offers free unlimited email service with full access on ad/remove emails/domains/ manage email quota, an email is weapon for branding.
