Cheap VPS
If you are going to start any kind of presence on the web, ranging from a small personal block to a massive e-commerce store, the first thing you need to obtain before being able to undertake any kind of activity on the web, is finding the right hosting solution. Nowadays there are various options: shared hosting, Virtual Private Server hosting, dedicated hosting, cloud hosting, and bare metal server hosting. All of them differ in the features they provide as well as in prices. It’s natural, that each particular client needs a specific solution for themselves to meet their needs. Nevertheless, if you are just starting your online business and want to find an entry-level, but a secure solution with stable performance, then Cheap VPS is probably what you need.
Benefits of a cheap VPS
Unlike shared hosting, the price of VPS affects only the quantity, but not the quality of the service. You pay for a certain number of resources and you get them, not less no more. Even the presence of neighbors turns out to be bearable, as everybody is ”minding their own business”.
The virtualization which actually gave birth to VPS provides for the stable allocation of resources – CPU computing power, GBs of RAM and disk space, as well as bandwidth. With this, you can fine-tune your plan to the actual needs of your project. If your projects and you realize that you’re running short of resources, that’s not a problem, since a good provider will guarantee convenient rescaling possibilities for any customer.
Linux and windows VPS servers
Another benefit of VPS servers is the availability of choosing a specific operating system for your VPS. The VPS servers work as separate units, even though they share the same physical capacities, that’s why they allow you to have a dedicated IP and a separate operating system.
What about the choice of the operating system, basically, you have two main options: Windows Server and Linux.
Linux is the OS that is installed on the majority of servers. To be more precise, it’s even no “an operating system”, but “operating systems”, since Linux serves as a base for various distributions, which are perceived as distinct operating systems with their features and usage cases. There are dozens if not hundred of Linux distributions available and used nowadays, but the major ones, that are usually offered by hosting providers, include CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise, Debian, and Ubuntu.Linux is generally praised for its variability (you can see from the number of distributions), flexibility – it’s an open-source OS, meaning that that system can be modified according to one’s specific needs; price – Linux is itself free and most of its distribution are free as well; stability and reliability, meaning that the OS is less likely to crash and it’s always almost invincible to viruses; lower technical requirements; extensive community of users and developers, so guides and community support will be easy to find for the most part of the time.
Windows Server is also frequently used on servers, though not as often as Linux. It has more specific usage cases, involving the use of particular software which is exclusive to Windows – these include such solutions, as ASP, .NET, as well as Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Access databases. Windows server also provides you with a graphical user interface, which can be beneficial for more entry-level users. Windows server is generally considered less flexible and less stable than Linux, and it isn’t distributed for free. Nevertheless, this system is, again, widely used in projects that can benefit from Windows-specific features.
Additional IP addresses
Additional IP addresses may serve different purposes. If you want to create multiple websites on your VPS server or a single website but with multiple domains and want them to have different IP addresses to achieve, for example, better SEO rankings. On HostZealot, you can get up to 5 additional IPv4 addresses. To obtain even more, you can go to the support team and fill in the special form to apply for extra IPs.
NVMe storage
Over the years of hardware development, storage devices have too evolved. First, we had mechanical HDD (Hard Disk Drives) that worked based on a rotating magnetic disk. In more recent years, Solid State Drives (SSD) became more widespread, so they are now offered by most hosting providers to run on servers, as they provide better performance and reliability, as well as lower energy consumption. The NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) drives are the next step in the development of storage, putting forward the benefits of SSD drives on an even more advanced level. If operations requiring lightning-fast use of storage are required for your projects, then NVMe drives will be a great choice.
KVM Virtualization
Virtualization, as mentioned above, is the technology responsible for the creation of VPS as such. There are, however, various approaches to virtualization. Software and hardware virtualization are the main types of it, having various representations. Hardware virtualization is, however, a generally better option because it offers better, more stable resource allocations. And by far, the best hardware virtualization solution that we have dealt with is KVM virtualization. It will provide you with a fixed amount of resources while offering root privileges, enabling the maximum customization of your server.

Support is a necessary element of good customer service. Technical issues happening to your server can be highly unpredictable, so you have to look for providers that offer fast and reliable technical support. On HostZealot you are guaranteed that your requests will be answered quickly at any time on day and night.
DDoS protection
DDoS attacks are a widespread kind of cyber-attacks that consists in overloading the server with fake requests, so it cannot process the requests from the actual users anymore. Nowadays, various means of protection against such kind of attack have been evolved, so, looking for a hosting provider, make sure to check whether they offer sufficient DDoS protection measures, both software, and hardware, with several layers of filters for all incoming and outgoing traffic, removing spam, flood, and undesirable packets, to make your website fully secure.
20+ locations around the world
Location is another important aspect of choosing a server, which can be neglected by someone, but greatly affects indeed various elements of your website’s success. The location has to be chosen with an eye to your target audience, and the closer is your server to them, the lower the latency and the better service they get. In addition to the subjective comfort of your customers and a better chance of them choosing exactly, your service, the location has a direct effect on your SEO optimization.
