5 MUST TO LOOK FACTORS BEFORE BUYING A LINUX VPS HOST

We at Go4hosting have designed multiple Linux VPS hosting plans keeping in mind the specific and personalized requirements of our customers. But we understand when customers get overwhelmed with the availability of so many options. To deal with such overwhelming confusion, we have stated down the factors that must be considered before choosing the right plan for your website and applications. So before you buy a private server going through all these factors is a must.

You might find a cheaper Linux VPS host elsewhere but it’s not always cost-effective to go with the lower Linux VPS hosting price. It’s more important to look out for whether all the features and specifications are covered within your plan.

Let’s go through all the technical specifications one by one-

1. CPU

   - A Linux VPS server is a very lightweight hosting platform and lighter than a regular system. As the servers are made to run on virtual CPUs. Different processes call for the need for different CPU execution loads. For example, a web server needs more CPU space while a chatbox service will be requiring better CPU performance. Hence, it’s very important to choose the right CPU for your business needs.

2. RAM

   - Next to CPU, RAM is the second most important technical specification while choosing any Linux virtual private hosting. It all comes upon the traffic of your website on a daily basis. If your website is such which is receiving traffic of 2000-2500 visitors daily, then you won’t be requiring more than 2GB RAM. For heavy sites dealing with gaming or live chatting feature will crash when are forced to run on such low RAM hosting plan. All the processes will slow down eventually so they need a plan with more GB RAM. For this, you only have to very precise and specific when it comes to RAM requirements.

3. Disk Space

   - Disk Space is directly proportional to the amount of data your website holds or your application handles with. This also includes the data that your customers will bring in that also needs to be protected. For example, your personal blogs might not require that much disk space but it’s not always the same. But if we are talking about an e-commerce website that has to deal with so much of their own as well as their customers’ data cannot be handled with low disk space. They will be requiring disk space in thousands and even more. So this makes disk space also an equally important factor when you buy a Linux VPS.

4. Bandwidth

   - Bandwidth is a very commonly ignored factor by most of the buyers. But you would be surprised to know the role bandwidth plays in the success of your website. When we talk about bandwidth then we are indirectly talking about the number of active users or simply the visitors on your website. For a website that does not accept many visitors a day then 300-400 GB is more than enough. Bit for a website that is receiving unexpected visitors a day then bandwidth is a bigger concern. Such websites are loaded with media-heavy webpages due to which the chances of crashing increase substantially.

5. Check for the application scalability

   - Though a dedicated server provides enough of the resources, there can be times when you would be needing even more. Make sure that the dedicated hosting price that you are giving is worth it as sometimes the required amount of resources is not delivered as per the contract.
