Before you even get to this question, there are a few other questions you should ask first. How critical are the websites and\/or applications you want to host on your VPS (virtual private server)? What features do you need? Are you willing to sacrifice some of those features in exchange for less expensive hosting?<\/p>\n

A low-end VPS is a great way to get a server with root (administrative) access without paying a fortune to do it. If you simply cannot afford the cost of a typical VPS hosting package, it may be your only option. Nevertheless, there are plenty of reasons why you should prefer a reasonably-priced VPS plan from a more reliable host over a low-end deal from a host that may not offer the best service.<\/p>\n

One of the most important things VPS users often need is scalability. As your websites grow, they will need more RAM, more CPU power, more disk space, and more bandwidth. A reputable host will offer you a VPS package that is expandable and also leave the option for you to upgrade to a full dedicated server.<\/p>\n

You should also make sure you understand what you are paying for when you sign up for low-end VPS service. They manage to be less expensive by offering less RAM, less dedicated CPU power, and often significantly fewer features.<\/p>\n

Another important aspect to consider is service. You should not choose a web host simply because it has bargain basement prices. Instead, investigate carefully, and find a host that offers good customer service for a reasonable price. Ask current and former customers what they think of the host.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, a VPS can be a powerful tool to add your arsenal, but you should not get your expectations too high with an unreliable low-end VPS. If you just need a test server or something for a small project, it might be enough, but if you are planning to deploy long-term serious websites, you need a stable VPS hosting package.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
