Virtual Dedicated Server Hosting

Are you fed up with your web site(s) poor performance and loading time that seems like an eternity? Are you at the mercy of other large traffic volume websites on your shared hosting server that hogs all of the bandwidth and CPU usage? Does your shared hosting provider oversell and literally cram your shared server with accounts? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you really need to consider VPS hosting.

Many individuals have no idea what VPS hosting is all about. VPS, or virtual private server, is taking a single computer file server and being able to simulate multiple servers by partitioning. What this next generation feature does is to give each server the look and feel of your very own physical server, along with its own operating system that can be rebooted, independent of other users. This very same feature has been in existence with mainframe computers for some time, and has now emerged into the mainstream market because it is a very high performance and cost efficient solution to the limitations and problems of shared hosting.

Virtual Dedicated Hosting Is So Much Faster

There are many advantages in using a VPS hosting solution over shared hosting. The first is the tremendous value, in that if you went with a dedicated server, the cost would be in the area of $150.00 per month, while the cost of VPS hosting is around $49.00 per month. Then we have the enhanced protection that VPS has over shared hosting, because your server is running in its very own environment and you are shielded from security and stability issues caused by other users. VPS is comparable to a dedicated server with the flexibility and control that you have. You have the ability to install special scripts and custom software on your own server and customize them to your needs. The folks at Servint will do that for you if you so desire.

My firm is a small business enterprise that has many websites, both HTML and Wordpress, and we have used shared hosting since our inception over ten years ago. We've used numerous shared hosting providers over the years and have had some that were okay and a few that were a disaster waiting to happen. With all of them, however, was the level of support and site loading time, that is very important to us. Most hosts, including the well known international ones, were not too responsive and helpful with various issues presented to their technical support. We actually had one that didn't respond for over 24 hours with one of our sites down for that period.

The past year or so, we have been building all Wordpress sites because of the many advantages and the fact that they can be completed and indexed more quickly. However, when on a shared hosting environment, the loading time for most of those sites was any where from 5 to 18 seconds, with the latter more prevalent. We all know what happens when a site takes that long to load...the prospective customer clicks the “Back button” and goes elsewhere. I would too! Something had to be done and we began our search for a solution.

A dedicated server was an excellent solution, but was out of our budget and price range. We read volumes of information about VPS as well as Cloud Hosting. It didn't take long for us to realize that a virtual dedicated server was the answer we were looking for. But just about every where we looked, we would have to literally set up and manage these servers ourselves. The plain and honest truth is that we have no idea how to do that, nor do we understand most of the technical terms and other jargon associated with this. More searching and we once again received our answer.

We were introduced by "Mr. Google" to a US owned and managed firm by the name of Servint VPS, located here in Virginia. They advertised that they offered all of the bells and whistles of VPS hosting, and that it didn't matter if you knew anything at all about how to set it up or manage any part of it. They claimed on their website that their customer service staff was ready, able, and eager to take care of these technical details for you. Well, since they gave us a 50% discount for the first month, my cost to test all of these claims was very low, so we signed up.

Well, let me tell you that from the "get go", they proved to me that every claim was true. After signing up, we had our choice to use their file servers in Washington, DC or in Los Angeles. In about an hour and a half, we received an email saying that Servint had set up our virtual dedicated server system and programmed the WHM panel. Being naive, we weren't sure how to set up our cPanel. We submitted our first support ticket and in a few minutes, the tech walked us through everything. They have a "kick-start" system that is so detailed and user friendly that even we were able to proceed with ease. Our first big issue was that we had in excess of 20 Wordpress websites on one shared hosting server and submitted a ticket for assistance in moving them.

In about ten minutes, we received a response saying that they would be happy to take care of this for us. We gave them the necessary login info and expected to hear from them quite a bit later. Again, to our now amazement, we received an email an hour later saying that everything was transferred and for us to change the DNS at our registrar. This was done and every site was now operating in our very own virtual dedicated server, and at very high speed. Wordpress sites that were taking 15 to 18 seconds to load were up in under 2 seconds, and sometimes faster. That blew my mind to say the least.

But there was more amazement to come from this great customer support team. A couple of days later, I had a dozen more Wordpress websites at a different shared hosting firm and needed to have them moved here as well. Every other hosting company that I had been with would move one site and charge a fee to move any more than that. I fully expected that and submitted another support ticket asking to have these sites moved. Once again, in a matter of minutes, I received a response saying that they would be happy to do this for me. At the same time this was going on, I needed to have some tweaks done to my operating system that were needed for some Wordpress plugins. Another support ticket from me, and after explaining what I needed, the tech had it done in a few short minutes. The other sites were also moved just as quickly and at no charge!
