VPS is like a computer. It uses physical resources such as CPU, RAM, disk space to create a virtual computer space. In this computer space, you can install an Operating System (OS) that allows you to perform different actions using a friendly interface. You can also run different software and application using VPS.<\/p><h3><strong>Uses of VPS<\/strong><\/h3><p>What are the common uses of a VPS? Think of it as a remote computer. Anything that you can do on a computer, you can do with a VPS. This means you won\u2019t be limited to just web hosting, though most virtual servers are used to host active websites.<\/p><ol><li><h4><strong>Running A High Traffic Website<\/strong><\/h4><\/li><\/ol><p>This is the most common and popular use. Since virtual private servers provide more resources for your website like CPU, RAM, etc. than shared hosting, you\u2019ll find that your website feels more responsive. Plus, with full control over the virtual server, you can install and remove software as you like rather than being stuck with what the host offers.<\/p><ol start=\"2\"><li><h4><strong>Hosting A Server<\/strong><\/h4><\/li><\/ol><p>Or if you\u2019re looking more towards professional uses, you could use a VPS for hosting files and other media. Basically, anything that runs as a server can be run on a VPS.<\/p><ol start=\"3\"><li><h4><strong>Hosting A Gaming Server<\/strong><\/h4><\/li><\/ol><p>Have you ever thought of running your own game server for your favourite multiplayer games? Well you can do that too.<\/p><ol start=\"4\"><li><h4><strong>Testing New Environments<\/strong><\/h4><\/li><\/ol><p>Since dedicated hosting is expensive, virtual servers can be used as testing grounds for server setups that aren\u2019t ready to go live.<\/p><ol start=\"5\"><li><h4><strong>Seeding Torrents<\/strong><\/h4><\/li><\/ol><p>Also known as a seed box, you can use a virtual server only for torrenting. If your torrent frequently, migrating the effort to a remote VPS not only frees up a lot of home bandwidth, but it also allows you to torrent 24\/7.<\/p><ol start=\"6\"><li><h4><strong>Private Backups<\/strong><\/h4><\/li><\/ol><p>It\u2019s cheaper to use cloud-based storage, but if you\u2019re already using a VPS for some other reason and you have leftover space, you might as well think of it as free file storage for documents and important files.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong>What Benefits Do I Get When Upgrade To VPS?<\/strong><\/h3><ol><li><h4><strong>More Server Resources For Yourself<\/strong><\/h4><\/li><\/ol><p>No more sharing when you upgrade from shared hosting to VPS. Expect an increase in server reliability and scalability. VPS also has a better ability to handle sudden heavy workload.<\/p><ol start=\"2\"><li><h4><strong>Tighter Server Security<\/strong><\/h4><\/li><\/ol><p>When cyber criminals attack a user in shared hosting environment, every other user in the same environment will suffer the same consequences. Shared hosting is especially sensitive to DDoS attacks. DDoS uses a trial and error method to gain a user\u2019s username and password.<\/p><ol start=\"3\"><li><h4><strong>Full Root Access<\/strong><\/h4><\/li><\/ol><p>If you need to configure your server, VPS is the perfect starting place. Given a complete root access, VPS provides a flexible testing environment for you to run different experiments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is VPS?
