Wordpress on VPS

If you ask hundrad people about the famous CMS today, 80% will say it is none other than "Wordpress". Even a 12 years old kid can maintaing a Wordpress based website with zero programming knowledge. It is easy to customize and easy to manage and get alot of features also can use a lot of plugins to do magics within the website. Still a lot of people use shared hosting to host their websites, blogs. But the new trend is twisting Wordpress with Virtual Private Servers (VPS).

A VPS can offer the site owners the level of customizability, stability and security of a dedicated server while still costing much less than one.  Poor performance and high downtimes are two of the main problems with using a shared hosting option for WordPress hosting. A VPS hosting option can also easily eliminate these two problems while providing more customization options for the webmaster. In addition, a VPS hosting solution may also prove more cost-effective for any WordPress site that receives medium-to-high levels of traffic.

Virtual private servers are more secure, stable and customizable when compared to shared hosting servers. Each VPS server contains systems files, which are independent of each other. For this reason, any VPS hosting solution will not be affected by any potential security problem affecting a bordering VPS on the same physical server. Unlike shared hosting, when you buy VPS hosting, you are also granted with root access, which allows you to utilize your own secure configurations. An assigned disk space and memory is also given to each VPS hosting solution. This disk space and memory remains uninfluenced by the way that nearby VPS hosting solutions deal with their resources; in the case of a WordPress blog VPS, this suggest that extra bandwidth could be assigned to upload and run high-definition  images, videos and other medias without reducing the speed of your site or any others. Users will also be able, thanks to root access, to keep the control and easily customize the installed software. Moreover, extra resources can be added without any downtime, which means that sites with VPS hosting are scalable. Even though dedicated servers offer resembling functions as well as the control over the whole server and a more disk space, they do cost considerably more and often lacks technical support.

Although first-time users who buy VPS hosting solutions might find it a more challenging to administer, you can install a Control Panel, such as WebsitePanel, which simplifies the task through a very user friendly graphical user interface. You can easily install and configure the MySql databases, and many other third party applications required for WordPress through these GUIs. While some VPS hosting providers offer a pre-installed control panel as a feature of their hosting packages, others will offer them for you to purchase as a separate option.

You can use either a Linux or a Windows VPS hosting option to host your WordPress sites, and the minimum system specifications will vary according to the number of sites you are planning to host and whether or not you choose a control panel. For anyone who is running one or many WordPress websites, a VPS Hosting option is an affordable middle ground between cheaper, but unstable and less customizable shared hosting solutions, and more powerful, but very expensive dedicated hosting solutions.
