Moving from Shared Hosting to VPS Hosting Plan
Going for a VPS hosting plan from your existing shared hosting
plan? Choosing VPS hosting provider is difficult decision mainly
because when you go through VPS hosting companies each one of
them offering almost same kind of disk space, bandwidth, third
party software’s, customer support and money back guarantee etc.
I started my website on a shared hosting plan, but later mainly
due to bandwidth and poor performance of server, I had taken the
suggestion of going for VPS/dedicated hosting to get better
control and improve server performance.
When you search with keywords best VPS hosting or top 10 VPS
hosting, you will get good number of sites with reviews and
providers. But as a customer is it wise decision to simply
follow reviews and signup with a particular VPS provider?
Before going for VPS provider from your existing shared hosting
setup, make serious thoughts about below points. There are many
things which need to be considered before thinking about VPS
hosting plans. This evaluation will help you to take better
decision while moving from shared to VPS hosting.
-> Do the existing bandwidth and software’s meeting current
requirement in a resources sharing set up.
-> Do existing disk space enough to store data.
-> Do get 24/7 support and more than 99% uptime guarantee?
-> Do it worth really moving from existing shared hosting set up
which cost you under $100/year to VPS hosting provider which
charges $500/year.
Selecting VPS Hosting Plans
After thorough evaluation you can decide either to continue with
existing plans or move to VPS hosting plan. Next you can decide
to go for VPS providers with either Linux or Windows VPS Server
hosting plans. Normally Linux VPS hosting are cheaper as
compared with Windows VPS hosting because Windows hosting you
have to pay additional license fee.
Final step in the choosing VPS providers is to make the list of
your system requirement and go through top 10 VPS providers
where you can expect efficient 24/7 technical support, 30-90
days money backup guarantee, no fixed time contract other than
the best features promised by all these companies.
