VPS hosting is an excellent next step for websites that have outgrown shared hosting. However, to avoid being duped, verify with your web host to confirm that they will give high uptime and maintain your website safe.

2. Some websites will counteract this by switching
to dedicated hosting, in which the entire
resources of one server are dedicated to a
single website. As you can imagine, this is a
premium service, and it’s priced accordingly.

4. 1. SSL AVAILABILITY
The communication between servers and browsers
is encrypted by an SSL certificate.
This secures the connection between your website
and the browsers of your visitors.
Some web providers do not provide SSL certificates,
or only provide SSL protection to users who
purchase specific hosting packages.

5. 2. AVAILABILITY AND
FREQUENCY OF BACKUPS
Backups aren't simply useful while shopping for
expensive or cheap VPS hosting.
They are a critical component of your security
approach.
The longer you have your website, the more probable
it is that something will go wrong that would result in
disaster unless it is adequately backed up.

6. 3. HIGH UPTIME
Downtime can be fatal to your website if it
occurs frequently.
One of the indicators of a successful website
is uptime (or availability).
A reputable web host will guarantee
availability in a variety of ways.

7. 4. DOES YOUR WEB HOST
HELP PREVENT DDOS ATTACKS?
A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is a type of
assault that aims to disrupt server operation by flooding a
web host with requests.
When the server is overburdened with requests, there are no
server resources left for websites, and your website will be
unavailable for as long as the assault continues.

8. 5. MALWARE SCANNING
Malware is malicious software that hackers use to infect
computers. The end results of malware infection can be
anything from the theft of unimportant data to total data loss.
Before you sign up for VPS, ask your web host about their
malware strategy. You’ll want to ask your web host how often
they scan their servers for malware and whether they monitor
the integrity of your files.
