Is your blog slowing down? Do you feel the need to gain full control of your band width, OS, software installed and get optimum up time? By paying a little bit more, you can get a VPS. A VPS (Virtual Pirate Server) is simply a Virtual Server siting on top of an actual server. One server can have quite a number of VPS. There a not much different between a VPS and a actual server and it’s a lot cheaper and more affordable. VPS are divided into 2 types: managed and non-managed. Managed means that you can get technical support to help in issues such as software installations and bugs. For non-managed, your are pretty much on your own. You not be able to get any type of assistances.
VPS OS are Linux or windows based. For windows its pretty straight forward. For Linux, there are several option of OS. You had to be at least familiar with Linux commands and the control panels used. Unless you are able to setup your server using just shell command, you be needing a control panel. Control panel range from the popular C-panel, Direct admin, and Ixadmin. Each have a different set of criteria and system requirement. Remember to check out their minimum requirement and purchase a VPS that is suitable. One tip is to be generous on rams, get least double the minimum ram requirement, especially if you are running a number of different sites together. One of the many reason apache server crash is the lack of memory.
