VPS vs Cloud Hosting | Should You Use Web hosting?

OVH

Love the channel. Thanks a lot!

I tend to host sites with a shared hosting plan and really haven't had any issues with performance. Support can very from web hosting company to web hosting company. For me, it's mostly about not having the time to admin my own server (which I used to do, many moon ago). I've been curious about trying out VPS hosting, but haven't had the time to try it out. Over-subscription of servers certainly can be a problem, but I've noticed some hosting companies monitor their servers pretty well, so they aren't "maxed out" all the time.


One issue people considering shared web hosting should keep in mind is being hosted on the same server with a site that's been blacklisted for whatever reason. In this case, your site can also experience issues because it's assumed the server is engaging in questionable activity. For example, if you host email in your domain on the shared host, you might not be able to have your site send email (contact form submissions, for example) because no mail servers will "talk" to your server, due to the server being on a blacklist (DNSDBl, RBL, etc.).


Great video! Thanks for posting!

If you're not having tons of traffic you can host your own website on a NAS or something as well, assuming you purchase the domain.

Kindly do a video on Mail servers. Host vs pay for the services. And also if you can squeeze in another video how to configure a mail server. Most videos on YT are 2+ yrs old ....

Dedicated Box / Bandwidth FTW...

Love from 🇮🇳....You make ausm videos.

Hello Chris!
Sorry if it has nothing to do with the video but can you make a video about how to clear cache on debian? like the apt stuffs, or basically the system in general
Great video btw, keep up the good work!

For a static site s3-like or shared hosting?

Thank you, Chris. Affiliate mignon, monsieur?

Even though there are other factors to take in account like industry, company size, budget etc it was a valid vid 👍

Great video thanks Chris! Just looking at switching to a managed vps do you have a video on them? Also can you do a video on your 2019 recommendations for hosting providers? Looking to get managed vps and setup a nextcloud using ur video u did.

Chris, what are your thoughts on Upcloud? Are they really better than DigitalOcean, Vultr etc. as they claim to be on their site?

Did I miss a handful of explicit VPS recommendations?

There's one more thing to consider, there's not only skills required to maintain VPS, there's a lot of time needed as well, and I mean really A LOT! So if you sole entrepreneur it doesn't really matter if you have those skills more important if you have time for it.
There was a time when I hosted my own email server for all of my sites on postfix, it was fun but then Google came around with their solution and I switched to it, suddenly I realized that now I have more time for my family and a gym!

Link to the vps?

None of my website get hit hard with heavy traffic. I never seek for heavy traffic, it just there to send people there to check things out. Everyone I have is free web hosting. Never had a problem with any of them. It's up 99% of the time. I know their maintenance times. I have three websites on three different free web hosting. Not counting my blogs, which are also on free hosting sites. Free is good for me, because I don't like to pay. It's more entertainment for me and the practice of making websites. Never had a heavy spike of traffic, so I don't need a ton of bandwidth. I guess one is sorta used as a commercial website. But it's local so it's not like the whole world needs to be hook to it. I just saying free is good to, if you just want to get something out to show just a hand full of people not for the whole world to see.

How do you manage to make 10 times the sames videos ?

I had that with a charity took us deleting all the files infected with malware and viruses killed my Canada Day Weekend they had the main wp corp sight and 6 annual wp event sights

If your site is small and doesn't get too much traffic, you can get away with running a web-server (and other stuff) on a Raspberry Pi (or equivalent) from your home with your home Internet service. It'll perform well enough and use little power. Once your site "pops off" (🤦) and you start pulling in a lot of traffic and using a lot of bandwidth, then you should go with a real web-host. I'm running my site from an Orange Pi and it's great (I just wish I could get nginx to work with WPMU. :-\)

One video about clustering would be a great extension to this video. 😉

Hi Chirs, thanks for the video, I prefer cloud hosting but I am confused because there are tons of hosting provider in the market which provide different features with different prices. Some of the providers are listed below:
Siteground
Cloduways
WPEngine
Kinsta
It would be great if you can recommend me to one of the greatest hosting providers.

You have shared a good comparison between them but the common issue between both of them is server management. So Cloudways managed hosting solution is a reliable solution in terms of ease of server management.

i kinda love VPS now. Even though i dont have the skill to do that. I rate my self 0/10 😭, since i dont have a laptop or pc to do it. I only have samsung android. I will just watch your tutorials and learn from it and apply those skills you shared if I get a laptop or pc someday 😊.

Extreme Video! Wouldn't surprise me if this video went viral.

Intense Video! Fantastic job on this video.

Hi, thanks for the insight. Please I do all my server stuff using Node.Js. What hosting service would you rather recommend? Thanks ahead.

So you’re saying that AWS and google cloud is just plain old web hosting?

I just liked your video right now.
I am looking for videos on VPS, I want to learn VPS Hosting

can u run a ecommerce shop in cloud hosting? like the google free tier thing from your other video?

Fb ads driving traffic one day 5k session running on woocommerce which cdn do I need to use ? How much cpu ram do I need ? Thanks

Question, Do you think it's ok to setup a website on azure?

i use linux all the time. i love vps. if you need clustering use docker, or if you're really cool, use node and do pm2 for load balancing. docker can handle and load balance any exotic programming languages you want tho

Thanks Chris for the clearance

I watch it on 2022 and I say to my web hosting good by hallo vps but I most learned Linux I can it a little bit 1.5 year learning Linux html css3 1,5 years Javascript 3 years sql is easy php easy if you Javascript can write node js is coming sass a little bit api a little bit

Youre awesome for sharing this web hosting insight! Ive used HostGator and Hostwinds, but Cloudways with TST20 coupon is the real gem.
