This can help you save money instead of paying for storage services. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can store your media files, documents and backup files. You can also use it as an FTP server if you want to keep it easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By hosting your own cloud storage on your VPS, you can ensure that it is accessible from anywhere you need it. It is fully secure and completely under your control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#2 Set Up A Mail Server<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most businesses allocate an extra cost for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exabytes.sg\/email\/email-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business email hosting<\/a>. If you are already using VPS, you can save costs by hosting your own company\u2019s email server. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Exabytes, you can enjoy Virtual Private Server plans that can comfortably accommodate any self-hosted email servers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, you can host all the addresses of your employees and store all their emails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then again, SaaS (Software As A Service) email services will regularly charge you by the number of accounts or mailboxes. These are costs you can stay away from using VPS.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#3 Set Up VoIP To Make Calls<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also host your own VoIP (Voice Over IP) server, or utilize your VPS to make calls over the internet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This way, you don\u2019t have to invest in another long term infrastructure and extra hardware.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#4 Setting Up A VPN To Encrypt Your Wireless Connection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We strongly recommend you to install a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to create a secure connection on a public network. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is critical to your business to avoid internet frauds, especially on payment details, client dates and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A VPN helps encrypt your internet connection and eliminate the possibility for hackers to read your data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#5 Developing and Testing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are going to make changes to your website, application or software, we do not recommend executing it on a live website. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can prevent anything from going wrong. A very common practice to follow is to have complete testing to identify bugs and ensure it is working properly before going live.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus you can create a separate database in your VPS where you can check on the changes outside of your live environment before you publish it. This is also known as a \u201cstaging\u201d or \u201csandbox\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To Conclude<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you know what you can achieve more with Virtual Private Server &#8212; general web hosting, email server, private cloud storage, VoIP server, a better internet connection by setting up VPN, and a development environment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these amazing features only cost you as low as S$10 per month, which wouldn\u2019t be an issue for businesses of all sizes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a class=\"chat-link\" href=\"#\">Talk to our VPS specialists<\/a> if you wish to upgrade your business hosting with extra security, enhanced power and higher cost-efficiency.
