How Much Does Dedicated Vps Web Hosting Cost?

The World Wide Web, also referred to as the Internet

, offers businesses yet another media through which to educate, promote or sell their product or service, giving businesses and consumers instant access to one another 24/7.

Can you believe it was once projected that the Internet would peak in the early 2000s? Today, statistics show that nearly one million new web sites are launched in the U.S. every year. Having a web address and online presence has become as common place, and expected, as having a logo and business card. Business-to-business and business-to-consumer marketing places a great demand as well as dependence on having a domain name (web address), company email address and web site.

If you are used to having your site slow down for no apparent reason, or you are adding more sites onto your business, then it may be time to upgrade to a dedicated VPS hosting plan. The first question most everyone asks is, "how much will it cost?"

A virtual private server is equivalent to renting an apartment in a two or four family house. Your neighbors share the same building but you have privacy and security within your own environment. Your living space may cost you $1000 per month but you can do as you please within your four walls. What you can't do is dig up the backyard and put in a Jacuzzi or add a second bathroom. You don't own the building, you're just renting

Dedicated VPS is similar. You rent a server along with a limited number of other renters and share in the use. Your space is secure and you can do whatever you want within it, including subletting to other website owners. Which means you can collect rent for hosting their websites just like you're doing now with your shared hosting account.

If you are paying a minimum amount each month for your shared plan, say $10 per month. There is a possibility you can be evicted, or more politely speaking - suspended because you're getting too much traffic. That's the equivalent of having loud parties at your apartment and the neighbors call the cops. The difference is that if you need your site up 24/7 because of critical data, getting suspended until you make other arrangement may cost you more than $10.

The cost of upgrading to a dedicated VPS hosting server is not the equivalent of renting an apartment. A dedicated server in which you control the entire server is about the same as making a car payment. But VPS hosting usually starts at about $30 per month. Yes, that's 3 times what you're paying now for the shared server, but you won't get evicted and you can invite as many friends as you want.

The cost is only one factor when moving up to a dedicated VPS host server; there are many other considerations that you need to take into consideration. Learn as much as you can before you step up.
