Like many other Business Owners, you have decided to migrate your Company’s data to the cloud, but are now faced with the difficult decisions surrounding Cloud Hosting and the different hosting services offered. Must you choose Virtual Private Server or Dedicated Cloud Server? Should it be a managed or unmanaged solution?
Virtual Private Server is also known as VPS, cloud server, cloud hosting server, cloud platform, cloud computing or just cloud. However, Dedicated cloud server is also known as dedicated cloud hosting, dedicated server, dedicated hosting or dedicated virtual server.
Virtual Private Cloud (VPS)
Due to the vulnerability, unreliability, and costs of traditional on-site servers and the maintenance thereof, there is a continuous strong move to Virtual Computing by migrating clients’ data to virtual machines. This virtual machine (virtual private server) is then hosted by a hosting provider. Each VPS operates independently from each other on isolated networks.
Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are very reliable hosting services with resources reserved for each virtual private server’s usage. This then results into guaranteed reliable, fast, secure, and customizable hosting. Each virtual private server runs using an independent operating system.
With full root access that usually comes with an unmanaged VPS hosting option, you can install and customize any software that you require to optimize your hosting experience. This flexibility is especially valuable when clients need to install a custom OS. Clients are however responsible for the security and maintenance of their own VPS.
In your organisation, you might have a great team of experts who could manage, operate, and control the daily upkeep of your Virtual Private Server (VPS). The only responsibility channeled to your VPS Provider, is to ensure that your server is connected with a guaranteed uptime of 99.95% and a stable network connection.
A highly skilled Support Team is available 24/7 who stays up to date with the latest technical solutions resulting in long-term customer satisfaction and better service to your business.
Dedicated Cloud Server
When your organization’s hosting requirements become more involved and you need better resources, your would be looking at a dedicated cloud hosting platform. With a dedicated platform, your organization will have your own dedicated cloud server which is not shared with other users.
You can achieve top performance, flexibility, cost savings, security, compliance, and control of your dedicated cloud server.
As the client, you have complete control over the dedicated server. This will allow you to optimize the server for your unique requirements, including performance and security. The hosting provider supplies the physical server and environment, the associated services and technical support.
Having full access to your dedicated cloud server, you are able to install and customize any software that you need to optimize your hosting experience, especially when you need to install a custom OS.
Your organization will need a good team of experts to manage, operate, secure, and control the daily upkeep of your dedicated cloud server. In this case, your hosting provider must ensure that your server is connected with a guaranteed uptime of 99.95% and a stable network connection. This, however, can become quite a costly root.
You might not want to spend all that money to acquiring a highly qualified expert team that can manage the daily up-keep of your dedicated cloud server. Maybe you will rather decide to opt for a managed dedicated cloud server.
As with a managed virtual private server, a managed dedicated cloud hosting would also include security, compliance, availability, upgrades, scalability, and back-ups. The hosting company will take care of all of these which will free you to concentrate on the important things of running your company.
