The last two decades saw the web hosting industry undergo a lot of changes. With virtualization opening up the possibilities of creating virtual servers, VPS Hosting services soon evolved as a preferred hosting service for most websites. While the more traditional single-server-based hosting services were still around, the benefits of VPS Hosting were drawing people to it. The digital revolution also brought with it a spate of startups who understood the online hemisphere and focused on their digital presence. These companies found VPS Hosting especially useful. Today, we will share four reasons that make VPS Hosting services ideal for startups.

What is VPS Hosting?

In VPS Hosting, your website resides on a virtual server that is created by using a process called virtualization. This process divides a web server into multiple virtual servers, each with dedicated resources, account isolation, and complete root access.

4 Reasons that make VPS Hosting ideal for Startups

Here are four reasons that make VPS Hosting a perfect choice for startups:

1.     Scalability

As a startup, you need a hosting plan that allows you to establish your business and grow without having to worry about web hosting. You already have a lot on your plate, and the last thing you need is to change your hosting plan and migrate to another service and/or provider. Also, startups tend to start slow, and once they get one foot inside the door, they start looking at growth. This means that they introduce new products and/or services and start marketing them to attract more people to their website.

One of the biggest benefits of VPS Hosting plans is the ease with which site owners can increase or decrease resources available for their site. This is ideal for startups who do not want to invest in too many resources when they are new but also want the resources to be available when they need them. 

2.     Site Performance

If you look at pure performance, then a Dedicated Server offers great site performance since you have the entire server to yourself. However, it is costly, and as a startup, you might not have the budget to accommodate a Dedicated Server. VPS Hosting is the next closest thing to a Dedicated Server since virtualization ensures that you have dedicated resources and account isolation like a Dedicated Server. Hence, the performance of other sites on your server does not affect the performance of your site. If you have adequate resources, then you don’t have to worry about your site’s overall performance. 

3.     Customized Hosting Environment

As a startup, you have to live up to the expectations of people of being creative and innovative in your approach. Treading the well-taken path is not what the online community of today expects from a new business. Also, they assess your innovation and creativity through the channels that you use to interact with them, namely your website, social media handles, etc. Hence, your site needs to be innovative and offer an experience that is unparalleled in the industry. To achieve this, you need a hosting service that allows you complete control over the hosting environment.

VPS Hosting plans offer complete root access that allows you to install and configure different software and applications to create a memorable site experience for your users.

4.     Top-Notch Security

Account isolation in VPS Hosting plans ensures that if any other virtual server faces a security issue, your VPS is not affected. Also, most VPS providers deploy a team of experts who constantly look for vulnerabilities and loopholes and patch them before a hacker or virus exploits it making it more secure than traditional hosting plans.

Summing Up

While a VPS Hosting plan is ideal for a startup, we recommend you to assess the hosting requirements of your site before making a decision. Research well, talk to different providers and consider all aspects before buying. Good Luck!
