However, you still need to optimize the image size by compressing it, in order to achieve faster loading speed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Processor:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Apart from the number of\u00a0 processors, you should also take a look at the quality of the hardware. For example: Exabytes VPS hosting comes with Intel E5 and E7 Xeon servers with Broadwell or Haswell architectures which provide effortless resource allocation because of multiple cores. They have proven to work smoothly even in peak hours. You need to have 14nm architecture with a multi-core for multitasking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>RAM:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Check the minimum and recommended RAM configurations for the applications you are going to install, for instance, cPanel and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exabytes.sg\/blog\/what-is-woocommerce-how-to-start-using-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WooCommerce<\/a> require a minimum RAM of 1GB and WordPress recommends a minimum 512MB of RAM.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Types of Hard Disk<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you know, there are 2 types of hard disk in the market now, which is traditional hard disk (HDD) and solid state drive (SSD). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>HDD is cheaper but an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exabytes.sg\/servers\/ssd-vps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SSD VPS<\/a> hosting is still\u00a0 recommended.<\/strong> They reboot fast, offers top notch performance and has transfer speed that is faster than the traditional disk. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SSD is resilient during a power failure, which makes it a perfect fit for VPS hosting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A faster hard drive is necessary because even if the RAM and CPU are fast you need an equally faster storage drive to keep up tp those requests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Related topic: Basic Knowledge: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avast.com\/c-ssd-vs-hdd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What are SSD and HDD drives<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Choice of OS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are plenty of choices when it comes to the operating system you want on your VPS hosting, with the most common ones being Windows and Linux. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Linux is an open-source operating system and is cheaper than Windows<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exabytes.sg\/servers\/ssd-vps\/windows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows VPS hosting<\/a> is preferred if you are developing in .NET or if you have applications that are designed for the Windows platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Backend Operation Management<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of VPS hosting, managed and unmanaged. If you think that you have the technical skills to handle backend operations of the server like software updates, patches and security you can opt for unmanaged VPS. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The unmanaged option can save you some money. But if you prefer not to be burdened by these extra tasks, then you can get help from the hosting provider to do that for you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can manage the backend operations for a little extra money.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be difficult at times to choosing the right VPS web hosting service for your project. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many other factors that should be put into consideration, including support quality, reliability of the providers and the location of the data centre.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk to our VPS specialist and get an online quote today.<\/span> We\u2019ll be pleased to offer the best quotation based on your project and make sure you do not overpay.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us be at your service.
