VPS Hosting VS Dedicated in Kenya

Comparison between VPS hosting in Kenya VS Dedicated Hosting in Kenya

Hosting is usually a big decision you have to make in case you want to start an online business in Kenya or you have an existing website and you need to upgrade your hosting plan. Therefore, it is very important you get to make the best web hosting decision depending on your website, the amount of traffic you get and not to forget your budget.

Some of the most common hosting types include: shared hosting plans, virtual private server (VPS) hosting, cloud hosting and finally dedicated hosting.

Below is a comparison between VPS and dedicated hosting in Kenya, and which type of hosting should you go for based on your needs.

What is VPS Hosting?

VPS in full  refers to virtual private server. A VPS hosting environment mimics a dedicated server within a shared hosting environment. A VPS runs its own copy of operating system with the user having administrative privileges to access and customize and install whatever software that can run on that Operating system.

While A VPS may have one physical server, you can run several different virtualized operating systems on that one server. This allows you to have all of the benefits of a dedicated server at a fairly cheaper cost.

This type of hosting is suitable for websites that don’t receive a high amount of traffic. In a nutshell, VPS is suitable for those who want root access on a server but don’t have the expense of a full dedicated server.

If basic shared hosting doesn’t quite offer what you need and you need a little more control over your host, then VPS hosting could be the right fit for you. If you need a more advanced host with extensive customization options, then check out dedicated hosting below.

What is Dedicated Hosting?

A dedicated hosting service is where the client leases an entire server not shared with anybody for personal use.

Once you lease a Dedicated Servers in KE, you are provided with all admin rights to all of the resources on the server, and you’ll be able to configure the hosting environment however you wish.

Dedicated hosts are usually beneficial if you are receiving the highest amount of traffic and will not want to experience high server loads which may cause downtimes due to overuse of resources. Dedicated servers offer one of the fastest and most powerful choices available for your hosting needs.

There is no right and wrong when it comes to hosting. Instead, it simply depends upon what’s the best choice for your website. We all have different needs. So, make sure you take stock of what kind of hosting support you’ll need before you choose a web host.

However, since dedicated servers are almost always more expensive it’s generally a good idea to start with a VPS until your company is generating enough revenue to support the cost of a dedicated server.
