A business needs to establish an online presence. As a lot of you already know the first step to establishing an online presence is by having a website on the Internet. This can be be a daunting to task for many people, especially if they are not a tech geek. Do you know what I am talking about or is this possibly you? Well if you are looking to upgrade or in the market for an Windows VPS server this article is for you.
So before I progress I would just like to make sure that you do in fact have a domain. A lot of people really don't know the difference between a domain and web hosting and I do want to take the time to clear that up. True there are companies that do sell web hosting and domain packages. You can purchase a domain from one company and host it with another company though.
Domain
A domain is your web url and this is where you site will live at (but not the actual data). For example, eBay is a domain, of course with the dot com extension after it. For your business or site you always want to have a dot com or dot net extension. There are a ton of different variation, so I am not going to get into all of those.
Web Hosting
Web hosting is basically where your site will live. You will have an allotted amount of server space, as well as bandwidth provided by your web hosting service, of course. Commonly, people start out with shared hosting, but this article is about Windows VPS so I want to get more in depth about it.
Windows VPS
FIrst, Windows VPS is hosted on a server that is limited to a handful of websites. Typically, shared hosting, which you might be familiar with has 1000's of sites on a server. With Windows virtual private servers you can obviously have way more bandwidth and space. Bear in mind though if you are starting out or know that you don't need a lot of space you probably shouldn't go with this hosting.
There are so many advantages to have this hosting if you are a business owner. I would highly recommend that you read up on this hosting because it can really aid you with growing your business online. The key to this hosting is its flexibility to add and remove applications as your business grows over time.
