Firstly, you’re benefiting from the fact that there’s no sharing to be had of your server with anyone else, which is an issue that crops up when using shared hosting. This means that the traffic of other VPS hosting customers won’t affect you, your RAM, CPU and disk space will increase compared to shared hosting, and you’re free to set up the server however you like. This is in addition to the simple fact that if it’s just yours, you’re going to see it load so much faster than you would with a shared host.

Having your own server makes you the administrator, this brings administration privileges including root access, an extremely important perk that means you have the highest level of permissions on the server, extremely useful when installing software, a new operating system or configuring absolutely anything relating to the server.

However, managing your own server also means that you’re going to have to take care of a lot of the things that most companies take for granted when using shared hosting. One of these is backing up your data, but most VPS plans offer this as a standard service, so ensure you get this set up as soon as possible. You should also enable manual backups so you’re not relying on an automated one occurring just before something goes wrong, or waiting for backups between intervals that seem far too long.

Security monitoring of your server and a good support team should anything go wrong with the server, are two services to look for when browsing the various companies offering a VPS set-up. Good security means there’s no reason to worry about things like DoS attacks or any other security breaches.

Lastly, experiment and train yourself in server management, as a good server manager can make the most of a VPS sever, and will really justify moving away with the more baby-sitted form of shared hosting. It affords you a greater degree of independence, not to mention the fact that compared to buying your own servers, it’s a lot cheaper.

Shared hosting just doesn’t have this array of features, nor root access, for that matter, and if you’re not willing to shell out for the hardware then VPS is the obvious route to a more flexible and controlled server environment. There are countless VPS solutions out there – simply take a look around, and if you see one that meets your needs, learn and experiment, as it’s far less money than attempting the same with a costly bit of hardware.

Virtual Private Servers
Can windows based programs be installed on a Windows Virtual Private Server.?

Yes

I think there is a place for it, especially in case of a house fire, having Online Storage can also be beneficial – I personally just backup all my files on an extra hard drive, Most of my important files are pictures I have taken, which takes up about 10GB of space. I do use both though.

Do you trust online storage/backup?
Do you trust online storage/backup?

I was thinking of backing up some of my files to an online storage site (ADrive) but I wasn’t sure if I should or not. Has anyone had problems with online storage or backup? Would you recommend it? Would YOU do it?

I personally just backup all my files on an extra hard drive, if it’s really important, I back it up on two. I think there is a place for it, especially in case of a house fire, but other than that, I personally wouldn’t really use them. Most of my important files are pictures I have taken, which takes up about 10GB of space. Uploading and downloading these would take too much time compared to copying them onto another drive.

I wouldn’t trust free online storage, unless you keep a backup of the files.

I own an iPod touch myself, and I have to say so far, with the new software (iPhone 3.0 for iPod) I’m not disappointed.

If your getting a touch, you definitely have to be more careful with it. That touch screen is scratch resistant, but definitely not drop resistant. For the touch, I would recommend a hard case of some sort. Ex. Incase, a popular brand of Apple case-makers, make very durable cases, but they can be about $34.99 USD. To see them, go to goincase.com. The classic and touch have the same battery life, so that’s not a problem. The app store is what got me to buy the touch, because the apps are so useful and more entertaining than just watching videos or listening to music, and there are some good free ones. If you are more music/video oriented, then the classic is great with 120GB of space, where the touch has 8GB, 16, or 32, each getting a little more expensive as the space goes up. Internet is really one one perspective of it, but it does open up some apps to online gaming and with the touch you can download music and videos straight to the iPod through the app store.

To narrow it down, the only thing your going to lose with the touch is the space, and maybe you’ll need to be more careful with it.

Hope this helps!
