Windows VPS Hosting

Reliable Windows VPS Hosting

Don't let choosing the level of website hosting you need confuse you. A2 Hosting is here to help! Here is an overview of the VPS hosting option, focusing on our Windows VPS hosting solutions and why it can equip your website with the tools you need for success.

Windows VPS Overview

If you don't quite understand the whole idea behind a VPS, or virtual private server, don't worry. Here is a common explanation. Think of a web server as a big apartment building that you can split up in different ways.

You can divide this apartment building into a whole bunch of smaller units. This simplified analogy mirrors the VPS concept. A shared hosting situation means your website would split an apartment with a number of other residents, or websites if you will.

In a virtual private setup, or Windows VPS, the apartments within the building are each associated with one owner, or website. While you have your own apartment in a big building, you do not share that apartment and its resources with other people.

Now, the difference between a dedicated server and a VPS is even more profound. If you ever reach the point where operations on your website are not conducive to sharing your apartment building with others, you should consider the idea of controlling your own apartment building.

A dedicated server is just that; a single massive server dedicated to hosting your website alone. So, if your website needs are rather basic, you may be able to share your server with others. But, if you envision higher aspirations, then you may benefit from having your own apartment in the building, or a VPS.

If you're still somewhat confused, don't worry – our helpful support team will help guide you in the right direction once we understand what you need.

Windows Virtual Private Server vs. Windows Dedicated Server

Our VPS hosting aims to supply you with the most important features and functions of what a dedicated server will provide for your website, but for less. A VPS is a virtual machine (VM), but it will perform very much the same way a dedicate server does.

With the VPS hosting option, we will give your website allocated resource management, dependable performance, which will allow you the freedom to work with us as your hosting provider in the manner you choose. VPS hosting will give you a great deal of extra freedom than a more economical shared hosting situation would be able to.

Now, if your system requirements are so substantial that you would benefit from an exclusive dedicated server, by all means you should discuss this option with one of our knowledgeable agents. Our VPS furnishes your website with more than adequate performance along the same lines as if you chose your own personal dedicated server, but at a fraction of the cost.

Windows Managed VPS vs. Windows Unmanaged VPS

Once you've made the well-informed decision that having your own private apartment will better serve your website's needs, now you need to recognize the value between unmanaged and managed virtual private server packages. The differences can be important.

When deciding between unmanaged and Windows managed VPS hosting, you need to consider is your level of expertise. With our unmanaged VPS hosting, while very economical, development experience will be very helpful.

Unmanaged VPS Hosting can mean more responsibility. Kind of like owning your own apartment in a building, you're going to be responsible for that apartment. A Windows managed VPS will be like having your own 24-hour a day personal assistant. While you may need to install some particular software to use on your website (i.e.; vacuum your own apartment), you'll have the personal assistance of our support team to help you along the way.

There are a few other important differences between our managed and unmanaged VPS hosting options that a representative can explain in detail. Once we have a better understanding the goals you have for your website, we will be better equipped to help you make choices. There are some important differences between managed and unmanaged hosting that you might consider.
