relevant and useful information, as you continue reading this blog.
What is a VPS?
Before we delve into the three main reasons for hosting your business site on a VPS, let us first
explain what a VPS is.
A VPS or a Virtual Private Server is a web server that is private and has been created virtually to
offer dedicated server space, dedicated server resources, dedicated IP address and the
flexibility to customize the server (installation of own software and Operating System) to each
of the websites that is hosted on the same physical web server. Hence, a VPS is able to offer
the environment of a dedicated web server on a shared server, at a price that is much less than
the price for availing a dedicated server.
The availability of dedicated server resources, enhances the speed and the performance of the
sites hosted on a VPS. By ensuring that every hosted site is stored and processed in a private,
isolated, dedicated server space, a VPS boosts the security of the hosted website. As mentioned
previously, a Virtual Private Server is able to create and offer the environment of a dedicated
server to each of the sites that shares web server space on a VPS. If you are wondering that
how that is made possible. Then, let us mention that next.
In a VPS for Linux or for Windows, multiple websites are hosted on each physical web server,
wherein Virtualization Technology is used to create multiple, isolated, independent and private
servers. Each of these virtually-created servers, that is configured to function independently,
can host a website as well as is capable of installing its own software and Operating System.
Since the entire web server space is segmented into multiple, virtually-created servers that are
private and can function independently, a VPS is able to replicate the environment of a
dedicated server and offer the same benefits that a dedicated server offers and at a much
lesser price. A VPS, regardless of its type, proves to be a cheaper yet effective alternative to a

dedicated server. Before we elaborate on its types, let us quickly run you through some of the
benefits of using a Virtual Private Server.
How Can You Benefit by Opting for a VPS?

hosted in a shared server environment, there are some major benefits that it has to offer. A few

server

Two Types of VPS
You can host your website on either a Managed VPS or on a Self-managed VPS, which is also
referred to as an Unmanaged VPS. HTS Hosting offers a range of efficient and highly affordable
VPS Hosting plans in the form of the following –
• Windows Managed VPS Hosting
• Linux Managed VPS Hosting
• Windows Self-managed VPS Hosting

• Linux Self-managed VPS Hosting
A Managed VPS is a Virtual Private Server that is provided by, as well as is managed, kept
updated and secure by the service provider. Here, the user of the VPS does not have to be
bothered about its proper management and its security, which are the responsibility of the
service provider. It needs to be mentioned here that HTS Hosting, as the Top Web Hosting

clock to keep every client’s Managed VPS fully secure and perfectly managed. The reliability and

Apart from a Managed VPS, a Virtual Private Server can be availed as a Self-managed VPS,
wherein the server is provided by the service provider but is managed, kept updated and secure
by the user. Here, the user of the VPS or his/her in-house team has to ensure the proper
management and the security of the server, without any involvement of the service provider in
this regard. This offers the user of this type of VPS, full control over the management and the
security of the web server.
You can choose either of these VPS, depending on the extent of convenience that you seek in
your VPS Hosting service and your capability with regard to managing and keeping your server
secure. Moreover, the VPS Hosting plans for Self-managed VPS are cheaper than the plans for
Managed VPS. Hence, budget is also a factor to be considered.

Next, you will get to know the three main reasons that make a VPS a popular hosting option for
business sites.
Why Should You Host Your Business Site on a VPS?
A Virtual Private Server, whether it is a Managed VPS or a Self-managed VPS, offers many
benefits, which are especially beneficial for hosting a business website. Here, we shall elaborate
on the three main reasons for which businesses regularly prefer to host their websites on VPS.
• Less Expensive, Effective Alternative to a Dedicated Server
A Virtual Private Server offers a cheaper alternative to a dedicated server. As mentioned earlier,
it offers the environment of a dedicated server (dedicated server resources, dedicated IP
address, dedicated server space, server customization) to each of the sites hosted on the same
web server.
By opting for a VPS, rather than a dedicated server, a business can ensure the same features
and effectiveness that a dedicated server offers and at the same time save money spent on
availing hosting services. That is because a VPS Hosting plan is always less expensive than a
plan for availing a dedicated server. Regardless of the size of a business and the profit that it
makes, every business looks for the most affordable and efficient hosting solution. A VPS

Hosting plan offers both. Moreover, the VPS Hosting plans of HTS Hosting can be availed at
heavily discounted prices and excel at delivering the best VPS Hosting.
• Enhanced Speed, Performance and Security
Business sites need to deliver excellent user experience, in order to retain their existing
customers and gain new customers. A business site cannot afford to lose its customers or a
sale, due to the site being down or slow or unsecure. Since a VPS is configured to deliver
dedicated server resources and dedicated server space, it is unrivalled in terms of offering
exceptional level of speed, performance and security. When the pages of your site load quickly
and are fully secure, it succeeds in providing an excellent user experience to ensure site revisits.
With the powerfully configured and fully-secure VPS of HTS Hosting, your website will be
seamlessly and securely available to site visitors and will offer the fastest page loads, to ensure
that your business site never loses the opportunity to generate a sale.
• Flexibility to Customize the Server
There are different types of businesses with varied hosting requirements. A VPS lets you
customize your server by providing the flexibility to install your choice of software, based on
your specific requirements.
The above-mentioned reasons, along with all the other benefits that a VPS has to offer, have
ensured its ever-growing popularity among businesses for hosting their sites that need to load
quickly, remain securely and seamlessly accessible and deliver peak performance.
