    A Virtual Private Server, abbreviated as a VPS, is a type of hosting that utilizes virtualization technology to create a virtual machine with its own separate individual resources on a given server. However, whether it be a regular, a Windows or a Bitcoin VPS there are some key advantages that this type of hosting has in comparison to shared hosting. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider investing in or switching to a VPS.

    1. Independent Resources

    In shared hosting, many websites occupy the same server space, meaning that they need to also share the provided resources, hence the name origin of this hosting type. This, consequently, means that sudden increases in traffic for one website or user can negatively impact the others located on the same server, essentially slowing them down and increasing loading and response times. With a VPS you gain your own independent resources meaning that others’ resource consumption cannot affect you in any possible way, even though you are located on the same server – it is like having your own flat in an apartment block.

    2. Manual Management

    In contrast to shared hosting, a virtual private server allows you to manually manage most of its aspects from the processing power (CPU) and the active memory (RAM) to the storage (SSD). Because of this, a VPS is often looked at as ‘requiring previous experience’. While this statement is relatively applicable, many providers nowadays offer complete and full support in terms of setting up and managing your virtual private server.

    3. Additional Software & Root Access

    With a VPS you also gain direct and complete root access to your server, meaning that you are allowed to enhance, alter and edit both your server and your website or application’s content manually, which is a function that shared hosting does not provide you with. Furthermore, this enables you to install custom software and tools that can further aid you in your work process.

    4. Scalability

    When you decide to invest into a virtual private server, you can initially purchase only the resources you would currently need, meaning that you can easily expand your server at a later stage should your website or application see a drastic increase in traffic. This is quite important from a financial standpoint, as you would not need to pay more for something that you would essentially not need to use in comparison to the offered shared hosting plans that exist.

    5. Payment Options

    As mentioned previously, there are many different types of virtual private servers. Companies like VPSBG enable you to pay for your services using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin. Such a VPS would be an ideal solution for you if you are unable to access traditional payment methods or you just want to conduct your transactions securely.

    Overall, there are many advantages of going for a virtual private server in comparison to shared hosting. And while a VPS can be slightly pricier, the positives that it can provide you with are definitely worth the investment.
