If you run a large-scale, mission-critical website then a dedicated hosting server will probably be in your sights. A dedicated server is a single machine dedicated wholly to running your website or websites.
The benefits of this setup over, say, a shared hosting arrangement, are legion: all the server’s resources are available to serving your web pages – including processor power, memory, and bandwidth. A dedicated server can also be configured exactly to your company’s technical requirements, from choice of operating system, to any special security needs.
There are no knock-on security concerns that can come from sharing space on a server with sites less secure than your own.
However, in these financially constrained times, the high-end dedicated server solution is not always the most affordable. Through affordable web hosting from EUKHost there is however an ideal compromise solution: VPS hosting.
“VPS” stands for “Virtual Private Server”. As the label suggests, the relatively recent technology of virtualisation involved. Virtualisation is the emulation of an entire computer within software. This means it’s possible to run a virtual Linux computer within a Windows operating system, or a Windows computer within a Linux PC.
In the world of Web hosting, virtual private servers, with their own unique settings, can be setup on a powerful host machine which manages all the virtual computers intelligently, efficiently distributing resources in real-time.
With VPS website hosting by EUKHost we offer you a complete virtual server at a fraction of the cost of a physical dedicated server. This gives you the opportunity to reap many of the rewards of a dedicated server without all the associated expense.
What’s more with VPS website hosting by EUKHost, you will find that our expert support staff give the same level of passionate care and attention to your virtual machine as they would to a physical dedicated server.
