VPS provide the best of both worlds
Virtual private servers allow a suite of controls and simple functionality. Add WordPress into the equation, and you can make a visually />appealing website in a matter of hours. Not convinced? Here are five advantages to using WordPress on a VPS. Whether it is your first website or your current server if failing your growing business on multiple fronts, internet success could be a few clicks away.
1. Dedicated Resources
Remember that time in university halls or shared accommodation when you spent all day looking forward to the food in the fridge? Only to come home and find someone else had eaten it? Well, virtual private servers are the opposite, providing you with a dedicated allocation of resources.
No one else is going into your fridge except you. Bandwidth, RAM and storage space can all be allocated and scaled monthly. If you find your WordPress site taking off and need additional resources, VPS’s can be easily adjusted.
2. Less Downtime
503 errors are the bane of a growing WordPress site. The direct result of a duff server, they can be a common occurrence in shared server scenarios. Especially if another website needs to restart the server to install applications.
Gain more control over when a server goes down with a VPS. If you know the quietest time for visitors to your WordPress site is the early hours of the morning, server restarts can be initiated without the need to get permission from the host provider.
3. Simple and intuitive installation
Several reputable hosting companies will do a lot of the base application installation process for you. Moreover, setting up the WordPress for the first time can be done using an intuitive interface. Multiple apps, not just WordPress, can be installed at the click of a button. Even better is you save the additional cost incurred by using specific WordPress managed hosts. No need to learn lines of code, or be met with conflicting script errors.
4. Custom options do exist if needed
We know we said WordPress on a VPS was easy. However, it can also be difficult, if you want it to be. Technical expertise will be required, but using VPS admin functions, it is possible to unlock advanced WordPress features. If you know your PHP code from your HP printer, a world of customization awaits.
5. VPS can grow with WordPress site
The option to adjust plans on a monthly basis means you will never pay for more resources than you need. It also means you won’t be limited by bandwidth easier. As you WordPress site grows, so to can your VPS package. Scalability of CPU, RAM or bandwidth is critical regardless of whether it is a new site, or a well established one.
