Discussion on personal website choosing a virtual host or VPS server

Still remember the beginning to learn to build the station, the choice of the first virtual host is a full HTML host, then the virtual host is also divided into HTML or asp,php are very few, in the domestic contact learning more or ASP-based, PHP is in recent years began to pop. Now we build the site is quite easy, find an open-source WordPress program, buy a virtual host can be built, incidentally find that can be the theme is a site. However, many people still have doubts about the choice of virtual host.

Because in the last two years, we can see that the price of the virtual host is basically not much change, and the relative VPS server price changes a lot, even if a merchant like Linode from the original monthly payment of $20 512MB solution also reduced to $10 1GB memory scheme, More similar to the author of a period of time to see the removal of the bricklayer bandwagonhost vps:http://www.banwagong.me/10.html scheme, including low to annual pay of $3.99, of course, sea oil many mainstream, non-mainstream, personal, Corporate VPS Provider for companies.

Because I personally still write a personal blog (my blog: itbulu.com), the current hands of a virtual host and VPS server, for personal blog, the site exactly choose which kind of storage, I still have their own views.

First, price considerations

From the price considerations, if we obstinately than the price, VPS certainly some is cheaper than the virtual host, the advantage of VPS is the independent IP is better, the majority of virtual host is shared IP, independent IP needs to be purchased separately. So from the price considerations, the VPS is still good. I believe many people choose VPS also to take this into account.

Second, operation and maintenance costs

Many of our personal bloggers, even the blog will not be set up, the virtual host did not understand, certainly do not understand the VPS server, because the need to install the environment package, and then to build the site, encountered problems also need to solve their own. A lot of people even because the server shut down caused the data loss problem, this is very big, so I always suggest that can be virtual host or virtual host, the site is not traffic to a certain degree or technical cattle to a certain extent, or with a virtual host is better.

Third, trend issues

After the trend, our blog or website needs to be bigger, sure will use the server later, we can not always be in the virtual host, so we still need to learn, for example, we can buy some cheap VPS server, to practiced hand, so in the future too much will not operate.

Finally, whether you choose a virtual host or VPS server, we need to start from their own perspective, you are suitable for what to use? Even if you think the VPS must be used, then use, a lot of reference tutorial learning.
