VPS stands for ‘virtual private server’ and refers to a virtualized hosting environment that works like a dedicated server in a shared hosting environment. Technically, it is both a dedicated and a shared hosting service. VPS hosting services in India offer a cost-effective option. There are certain factors you must consider when choosing a VPS hosting service to ensure a reliable and reasonably priced solution. Here are some of them:
The VPS environment – Determine the best type of VPS environment for your business. Linux and Windows are the usual options. During the selection process, be sure to keep your needs in mind. For instance, if you are running ASP.net or ASP, then a Windows VPS environment is the better choice.
Managed hosting – Who will monitor and look after the virtual server? Leave the VPS monitoring to a dedicated expert so you can focus on your business. Consider a VPS hosting service will help you manage and monitor your server and provide 24x7 support.
Scalable VPS – VPS hosting is ideal for a small and growing business. Make sure that the service has solid state drives (SSDs) to enable your business or its designers and developers to run applications and websites in a stable, speedy, and powerful environment.
The features of the service – Look for VPS hosting services in India that comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee so your investment is protected in case you change your mind or if you are not fully satisfied with the service. Likewise, look for a service with high IO and low latency SAN, redundant SAN architecture with centralized storage, container boot issue support, and VPS deployment and hardware with complete root access and WHM.
Where the data centers are located – Choose a VPS hosting service in India that is placed strategically in an area with dense fiber-optic connectivity. This way, you can be sure of reliable and efficient routing and consistent network connectivity. Make sure that the servers are linked by diverse fiber transport links for high network reliability and lower latency. Likewise, make sure they are protected by resilient and stringent security processes.
