When choosing a VPS hosting, you need to take into account a number of important characteristics, including the provider. It is important at the same time that it is comfortable to work, and there would be no shortage of resources for stable work. And often VPS is used for:
- Large stores that operate online.
- When creating different projects.
- For information sites.
- When streaming.
- As a game server.
VPS makes it possible to host several different projects, so that the site can be developed at one time and customers can place their projects on the portal.
How to choose the right dedicated server?
It must be said right away that a separate server can be deployed both in the cloud and on a physical machine. In the second case, resources are shared by several virtual machines. But it is always its own memory and OS, power. For advice, it is recommended to contact technical support, where they will help configure your solution with Guttereso. Of course, the user has Root rights, thanks to which you can configure, reboot regardless.
Virtualization
This is how the server is supported and it can be software or hardware support. The difference will be only in the distribution of server resources between virtual PCs.
- Software virtualization says that the hypervisor is responsible for the distribution. The virtual server uses a common core and the OS must be similar to the physical server. The peculiarity of virtualization is that the performance is an order of magnitude higher. But because of the common core, the division is not complete.
- Hardware virtualization makes it possible to create stand-alone servers. But their work is not so fast, since part of the resources goes to support the emulation of a separate PC.
But today they offer methods to speed up work, so this option should also be considered.
Main characteristics of the server
You should always consider the needs of your own project. And if we take a simple server, then it is worth calculating whether its capacity is enough for normal operation, what the load will be, and how long all the content will take.
In the case of a cloud server, things are a little different, here you can flexibly use all resources, increase traffic, if the situation requires it, increase capacity.
For example, you can turn off the server or reduce consumption. But it all depends on the circumstances, in the case of an online store, this is not required. The cloud actually has other benefits, but the most important thing is reliability. In general, when choosing, it will not be superfluous to ask how security is built, whether there are backups from the provider, or you need to do everything yourself. Protection against attacks from outside.
What do you need to check with your provider?
It is important to immediately establish contact so that the work proceeds in comfortable conditions. It is best to immediately study the reviews about working on the network, but personal experience will not kill anything. In addition, many providers provide a trial period, which makes it possible to study everything personally and understand how satisfied the quality is. There are often control panels to choose from. But you should immediately ask the question about the cost, is it possible to control from a smartphone. These are not highlights, but comfort to use.
