Uses For Managed Web Servers
(Virtual Private Servers)
Here
are just some of the potential uses for Managed Web Servers (Virtual
Private Servers). Remember, there are no additional bandwidth fees,
and unlike shared hosting accounts, you can install and run your own
applications on the server.
These are all "real world" examples:
- Webmasters and freelancers: get your own server to host
your client's sites and make extra money! No hardware to buy,
no bandwidth to lease and no tech support costs! Offer your own branded
hosting services at prices you set.
- VPS's (Virtual Private Servers) make great company email or FTP
servers.
- If you have a particulary large or busy Web site, a VPS is a great
value to upgrade from a shared hosting account without having to incur
the expense of a dedicated Web server.
- Use
a VPS account as a "real world" development or
test server.
- Use a VPS to backup and store important data off site on your own
secure server. For added security and reliability, each VPS comes
with triple data backup capabilities.
- Use a VPS to set up CNAME records to add services to sites on other
platforms or other servers. For example, you could set up search.your_domain.com
to add MySQL search features to a Web site hosted on an overloaded
NT server.
- Use several VPS's to break up a large or very busy site into more
manageable portions.
- A VPS could be used just to serve images for a very busy Web site
hosted elsewhere or on another VPS.
