Where do your blogs and websites live?

October 27, 2007 | By valmg |

Many people that have blogs and websites have more than one. Some of us have a lot more than one. More and more people are getting their own domains to host their blogs and websites. So it goes to follow, if you have multiple sites you may have come to realize it’s time to reevaluate your hosting. Many of us with our own domains use shared hosting, which means we share the space on the server with a number of other people. The next step above to consider if outgrowing shared hosting is vps, or virtual private server, hosting. VPS uses software to partition the space on the one physical server into several different servers, each with its own controls, applications and operating system. The benefits of VPS are larger monthly bandwidth allowing more traffic, as well as root access to the server which allows you to configure the server and software as you like.

Network Solutions, a long time player in the domain and hosting market, is now offering Virtual Private Servers. The VPS gives the client the benefit of having a dedicated server without having the expense of a dedicated server. They come with the Virtuozzo server resource software and the popular Plesk control panel. Network Solutions offers three different levels of vps in order to meet most people’s needs. If you’re outgrowing your shared hosting, definitely consider going with a VPS.
