How do I find a great VPS and what should I pay attention to?

At the moment, many companies can offer you servers for your needs at various prices. However, many companies have pitfalls that will not allow you to use the servers at full capacity and enjoy your work. It is to avoid these problems that this article was written. In it you will be able to find answers - how to choose a VPS? What should I pay attention to when choosing a VPS?

How to choose a VPS?

In order to choose a good VPS and not lose money and nerves at his work, you should always pay attention to some aspects. We will consider these aspects further, but I must clarify that reviews are not always a good indicator of the company's performance. This is due to the fact that competitors can write negative reviews. But then what should companies and people who are going to rent a server pay attention to? The list looks like this:

• Price

  Not everyone can afford to rent expensive servers, and sometimes there are even no funds in principle for rent. If you don't have money, then you can try free hosting, but I warn you that they limit the user insanely much and it's better to buy a server. If you are a millionaire company, it will be easier for you to create your own servers, and if you are an average company, then pay attention to the price segment within 100 euros. As a rule, for this amount you will be able to rent a shared virtual server or with a dedicated processor, as well as with good characteristics.

• Protection from attacks

  An insanely important aspect to work with. Some companies even at the moment do not provide protection against Ddos attacks and this can be called the greatest unprofessionalism. Suppose you decide to rent a VPS for a while just to place your website there while your main hosting is unavailable. If you rent a server without protection from attacks, then your site can fall in a matter of minutes from an influx of users or a hacker attack. Therefore, always pay attention to hosting providers that provide protection against Ddos attacks.
   

• The term of the company's work

  We live in the 21st century and this is the time of an insane flow of information. Hundreds of websites that are fake companies can be created in a day. It is difficult to figure out a fraudster, but it is possible to do it and it is always better to check how long ago the company was created. If the company was created and registered in the register more than two years ago, then it can be considered worthy for renting servers. Otherwise, if the company is unworthy of a lease, then it will close during these two years.
   

• Server Characteristics

  The characteristic of the server is the initial thing that everyone pays attention to. It is really important to understand what exactly you will use, how much RAM will be available to you, how many cores, and also how much space you can rent for the server. Some companies offer you fixed specifications. However, there are companies, for example, our company offers you to build a server yourself and you will also specify all the characteristics yourself, and then they can be changed. The most important thing is to pay attention to the price = quality ratio, otherwise you can overpay money for weak server characteristics.
   

• Server functionality

  By functionality, I mean not only operability, but also the ability to interact with them. For example, many companies provide you with data to log in to the server remotely and for this you have to download additional programs on your PC. For example, we do not need to connect remotely because You will be able to log in using the functionality of the site. You can read more about this here It is such nuances that are very important in the work, because sometimes the access key or other data may be lost and you will have to contact the company to get the data again. We do not have such problems because you get the server at your disposal with permanent access from your personal account, but if you want to connect remotely, you can also do this
   

• Technical support

  Again, the point that not everyone pays attention to, but which is very important. Sometimes your server may simply stop responding or something will work incorrectly and there is nothing worse than waiting for a response from support. That is why you should immediately discuss with the company where you are going to rent the server the work schedule of technical support. Also, for the sake of experiment, you can try to contact technical support several times yourself in order to study their response speed and quality of work in more detail.

The above points will help any user to choose a VPS that suits him. I also recommend that you familiarize yourself with our hosting rental terms.
