Top 9 Benefits of Managed VPS Hosting<\/h1>\n

Managed VPS Hosting – Your website has outgrown its shared hosting account, and you now need to move to a more\u00a0powerful Virtual Private Server<\/strong><\/a>. This is something you should celebrate, as it means your project is headed in the right direction. The only thing you might not be sure about is the\u00a0higher price tag, especially if you go for a managed solution.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at\u00a0the main benefits of managed VPS hosting<\/strong>\u00a0and see what you\u2019ll get in exchange for the extra cash.<\/p>\n

What is Managed VPS Hosting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

VPS hosting solves\u00a0many of the problems presented by the cheaper shared plans<\/strong>. The virtual server you get with a VPS plan gives you a\u00a0completely isolated environment<\/strong>\u00a0for your website.<\/p>\n

It has\u00a0guaranteed hardware resources and a dedicated IP<\/strong>, and, crucially, the actions of others can\u2019t affect its performance. The\u00a0infinitely scalable resources<\/strong>\u00a0let you change the server\u2019s configuration at the click of a mouse, and you don\u2019t need to pay for hardware you don\u2019t use.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, web hosting providers can situate multiple VPSs on the same physical machine, meaning they can utilize the hardware more efficiently and offer\u00a0VPS services at reasonable prices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The only problem is, inexperienced users are not sure if they can manage an entire virtual server on their own. Often, they\u2019re not familiar with the\u00a0VPS\u2019s operating system<\/strong>, and they have no idea how to perform software installations, apply security patches, and handle server maintenance tasks.<\/p>\n

With a managed VPS, you won\u2019t need to think about any of these things. It gives you the virtual server set up and ready to go. Your VPS host deploys the\u00a0virtual machine<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and configures it so you can\u00a0start work on your project immediately<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Your hosting provider\u2019s specialists are responsible for more than just the initial setup. They also take care of the ongoing maintenance of the server infrastructure and all the software installed on your VPS. The\u00a0performance<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong>security<\/strong>\u00a0aspects<\/strong>\u00a0are handled by them, and you can focus on your online business.<\/p>\n

Top Managed VPS Hosting Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As we\u2019ve already established, you will be\u00a0relieved from many of the server management duties<\/strong>\u00a0associated with\u00a0unmanaged VPS plans<\/strong>. A managed server will save you a lot of time\u00a0googling, reading guides, flicking through menus, and executing commands<\/em>, which is a definite plus.<\/p>\n

But what are the other advantages that can directly affect your website\u2019s performance and your overall experience?<\/em><\/p>\n

Faster performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The more CPU cores, memory, and disk space you have, the faster your website is. The system resources are indeed essential in determining the server\u2019s overall performance. That being said, there are many\u00a0<\/strong>system settings and tools that can also speed up the server.<\/p>\n

Your hosting provider\u2019s specialists know how to tweak the server to utilize its hardware well and perform at its best. The great thing is, with a managed VPS,\u00a0they will do it for you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Managed<\/a>

High uptime<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a website owner, you want your website to be accessible as much of the time as possible. A\u00a0managed VPS plan<\/strong>\u00a0gives you a server under\u00a0constant monitoring<\/strong>\u00a0from a team of experts who are on hand to ensure that any problems that might arise are quickly dealt with. They are available around the clock, and they have the expertise to identify and\u00a0solve any technical issues<\/strong>\u00a0before they can cause too much damage.<\/p>\n

Scalability<\/strong><\/h3>\n

VPSs are created through\u00a0a process called virtualization<\/strong>. During it, a portion of a physical server\u2019s hardware resources are allocated to a virtual machine, and they remain reserved for this machine only.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, you can rely on consistent performance at all times. On the other, you can easily add additional\u00a0CPU cores, RAM, and storage space<\/strong>\u00a0whenever you need to. In most cases, you don\u2019t even need to reboot the virtual machine to complete an upgrade.<\/p>\n

With a managed VPS solution, you can usually take advantage of\u00a0load monitoring tools<\/strong>\u00a0that show you exactly what sort of server resources you\u2019re using at any given time. As a result, you can accurately predict when you\u2019ll reach the\u00a0server\u2019s maximum capacity and act accordingly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dedicated resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On a shared server, hundreds of accounts use the same hardware resources. If just one of the websites experiences a major traffic spike, the performance of the entire server may be compromised, affecting the rest of the projects hosted on the machine.<\/p>\n

With a virtual private server, this isn\u2019t a problem. VPS users get\u00a0guaranteed hardware resources<\/strong>\u00a0reserved for their server only and available all the time. As a result, the service is both faster and more reliable.<\/p>\n

Customer service<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you opt for a self-managed server, you\u2019re\u00a0pretty much on your own<\/strong>. Your host\u2019s support team will fix any hardware or network issues, but you can\u2019t expect them to jump to the rescue if you get stuck.<\/p>\n

You get full access to the machine, meaning you\u2019re free to install applications or tweak system settings. However, if you get it wrong and your server\u2019s performance suffers, it will be up to you to sort out the issue.<\/p>\n

By contrast, with a managed VPS, you get the server already optimized for the best possible performance, so you don\u2019t need to bother with any of the system configuration yourself. If you need anything else, your host\u2019s support team is on hand to answer your questions, help you find your way around the\u00a0server\u2019s management platforms<\/strong>, and point you to the right resources.<\/p>\n

Advanced security<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The whole point of a managed VPS is that by the time you get access to it, the server is already configured and ready to start hosting your websites. This means that it needs to be\u00a0protected from cyberattacks<\/strong>. Security should be\u00a0top priority for any self-respecting host<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At ScalaHosting, for example, we\u2019ve put all our experience and expertise into developing custom solutions tailored to our managed VPS platforms. Every managed server benefits from real-time monitoring, and it comes with specialized tools designed to\u00a0secure your WordPress website<\/strong>, protect you from spam, and shield you from many other threats.<\/p>\n

Daily & monthly backups<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your website goes down, a working backup could mean\u00a0the difference between a quick and painless recovery and a prolonged downtime period<\/strong>. If you have a self-managed server, you will be responsible for setting up a backup solution and configuring it. You need to decide how frequent your backups should be, and you also need to think about how you store your backups. This may mean hiring another server just for your backups.<\/p>\n

By contrast, a managed VPS usually comes with\u00a0an integrated backup solution<\/strong>\u00a0that takes care of everything for you. Your backups and snapshots are completely automated, and, ideally, they\u2019re stored on a remote server meaning a working copy of your website is easily accessible at any time.<\/p>\n

Your managed VPS should be equipped with a facility for\u00a0quickly restoring data<\/strong>, as well, and if you\u2019re struggling, you can always ask your host\u2019s support team to point you in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Free SSL certificates<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In the past,\u00a0SSL certificates<\/strong>\u00a0were quite expensive and were generally used only by online stores and websites that handle sensitive information.<\/p>\n

This is no longer the case. The number of cyberattacks has grown quite a bit over the years, and the volume of sensitive information we share with websites is huge. Right now, if you don\u2019t have an SSL certificate, most modern browsers will flag your website as\u00a0not secure<\/strong>, and you\u2019ll also have a\u00a0lower search engine ranking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Luckily, a few years ago, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, along with the University of Michigan and a few technology companies, founded\u00a0Let\u2019s Encrypt<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a non-profit certificate authority that issues\u00a0SSL certificates completely free of charge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, you have no excuse for running a website without an SSL certificate. However, installing it may be a challenge on a self-managed VPS, especially if you have no experience with this sort of task.<\/p>\n

With a managed VPS, this shouldn\u2019t be a problem. Most of the popular web hosting control panels pre-installed on managed VPS platforms have integrated tools that\u00a0automate the setup of Let\u2019s Encrypt SSL certificates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

No hidden fees<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a general rule, managed VPS plans are more expensive than self-managed ones. Remember, however, that managed solutions are equipped with quite a few tools that can be vital for managing your project. Needless to say,\u00a0these tools cost money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For example, on the face of it, a self-managed server may be cheaper than the equivalent managed solution, but if you want to use\u00a0cPanel<\/strong>, you need to account for the licensing fees. Add a few premium applications that are not included in the unmanaged package, and the price difference may narrow down to the point where\u00a0you have to calculate the savings and see if they\u2019re worth it<\/strong>. The extra time and effort you need to put into running a self-managed VPS shouldn\u2019t be ignored, either.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The goal of managed VPS hosting is to bridge the gap between shared hosting and dedicated servers on three different fronts \u2013\u00a0performance, price, and usability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The guaranteed hardware resources and the dedicated IP makes for a faster, more reliable service, and because most of the server management tasks are covered by your hosting provider, you don\u2019t need any sysadmin experience or skills to take full advantage of the extra performance.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, the efficient use of hardware resources means that managed VPS solutions offer\u00a0great value for money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re just getting started, it\u2019s hard to ignore this type of hosting as an option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
