Cloud Infrastructure

VPS would not have been possible without cloud technology, which has made computing and processing on the cloud, very cost-effective. This provides for very cheap VPS. Having a cloud server or cloud VPS brings with it many benefits that would have been out of reach for SMBs in the past.

Having a VPS in the cloud is much different than owning your own custom dedicated server. With a server, you have to pay for the hardware, the software, often purchasing licenses, and worrying about storage and other possible concerns.

Cloud provides reliability at the most affordable price.

Benefits of VPS Vietnam Hosting

Offering VPS services has become a way for businesses to earn new revenue by offering web hosting and other services to new and existing customers. Nowhere has this become more popular than in Vietnam.

Your starting point is knowing the type of services you plan to offer or require. There are a great many items to consider when choosing a host for your virtual machine.

5 Things to Consider When Choosing VPS Vietnam Hosting

You may be fixed on an Intel Xeon or you may require blazing fast download speeds, auditing your requirements is a must. Here is a checklist to help you determine exactly what VPS solutions you require:

  1. Technical Support – Are you more hands-on? Do you require partial root access? Full root access? Do you know your operating system requirements? Do you plan to run Linux or Windows? How many dedicated IP addresses do you need?
  2. Customer Support – What SLA uptime are you looking for? Do they offer 24/7 service with little delay?
  3. Data Security and Failure – What level of security do you want? What measures do you require for DDOS protection? Do you require a Raid 1 or a Raid 10? What measures are necessary to keep your data safe?
  4. Bandwidth and Speed – Do you require unlimited bandwidth and faster speeds?
  5. Volume – What volume of data are you processing?

Technical Support

Your web hosting provider should have the in-depth technical knowledge to help determine many of the items that we have mentioned above. When looking to Vietnam for VPS hosting, one automatically thinks “Cheap VPS Vietnam”, but that does not necessarily equate to cheap VPS service.

A strong VPS partner will walk you through all of the technical aspects of your server project, whether you need partial root access, full root access or merely control panel access.

There are several operating systems to choose from, each having different features and benefits. The two most common include Linux and Windows. Linux is open-source software, whereas Windows is not. More often, open-source communities can respond to issues and security threats faster than windows due to the nature of the open-source community. Patches and software development at companies like Microsoft and Google tend to come slower than open source.

Depending on whether you are running a single domain or more, you will require at least dedicated IP. But if you are running more than one, you may require more. Some providers charge per IP, while others include several in their VPS plans. The same is true for your domain’s SSL certificate. Many providers will include renewals for your customers in your hosting plan at no extra charge, while others do not.

Customer Care

A professional provider will set you up with a web hosting plan that suits your needs and the needs of your customers at an affordable price. But what about after you are set up and running? What if there is a failure event or your users are reporting latency concerns? This is why you want to research your provider and understand your SLA Uptime agreement.

Data Security and Failure

The security, privacy and integrity of your data are paramount and you want your users to feel secure in their decision in doing business with you. Protecting your website and data against things like DDOS attacks and service outages could not be more important.

When you choose your Vietnam provider, ensure that they have measures to address redundancy. A RAID configuration will store your data over multiple storage drives to create a single storage system that improves your overall storage efficiency but also protects against drive failure.

Bandwidth and Speed

Your users, whether in Vietnam or across the globe will expect reliability and quick download speeds, choosing a plan for your web server that includes unlimited bandwidth could go a long way. Find out what options you have from your host, it could be 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps. What do you need?

Volume of Data

You could be hosting video, processing transactions, providing SaaS services but it all comes down to data. You need to be sure that your VPS server can process the data you expect, without issue.
