Upgrade to VPS Hosting
August 13th, 2010 by admin
Does your host run out of juice and your site is down at the time when you need it most? Bloggers who spend time writing a great article do get rewarded by services like Stumbleupon and Digg in form of huge number of unique visitors which is only good if site is online for them to read your article. If the site link reaches in top ten of digg, what we get is called “digg effect” which only a dedicated server and VPS can handle. This dig effect is the huge number of hits in short span of time causing servers to stop responding for some time and this means your new visitors will not get your website content but an error page instead. This mostly happens to those who are on shared servers. Shared server as name suggest is shared between hundreds and thousands of sites and hence it’s not able to handle extra load. If we remove all the other websites and let your website only to run on these servers, it would load fast and perform well even in extreme traffic conditions and this is better known as dedicated servers were a server is dedicated to host single site only. However for every website owner it’s not possible and practical either to go dedicated. I will strongly suggest VPS to those who need good performance and want their website to handle peak traffic load.
In VPS only CPU is shared while other resources like RAM is dedicated which means there is better traffic handling capability. It has Burstable memory which keeps resources always ready for any unexpected traffic. CPU can work efficiently even when they are shared because new generation server CPU’s are multi cores, multi threaded and are optimized to perform well in stressed conditions as well. So in general terms you can say that you will be getting almost dedicated like performance but at much lower price in VPS.
