A virtual private server (VPS) is a type of hosting account where the server environment is virtual. This means that you can have your own operating system (OS) and root access, and the server is not shared with anyone else.
VPS is a good option for businesses that have outgrown their shared hosting accounts, but aren’t ready for a dedicated server yet.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you’re creating a business site on a VPS.
First, you’ll need to choose an OS and a web server. We recommend using Linux and Apache, but you can also use Windows and IIS if you prefer.
Once you have your server set up, you’ll need to install a CMS (content management system) or eCommerce platform. WordPress, Drupal, and Magento are all popular options. Once your CMS or eCommerce platform is installed, you can start adding content to your site. If you’re using WordPress, you can add posts and pages. If you’re using Drupal, you can add content types and fields. And if you’re using Magento, you can add products and categories.
Once you have your content added, you can start customizing your site. You can add themes and plugins to WordPress, modules and themes to Drupal, and extensions and themes to Magento. You can also add custom code to any of these platforms if you’re comfortable with coding.
Once your site is set up the way you want it, you can start promoting it. You can use SEO (search engine optimization) to help your site rank higher in Google and other search engines. You can also use social media, paid advertising, and email marketing to drive traffic to your site.
Creating a business site on a VPS can be a great way to get more control over your site and its environment. With a VPS, you can choose your own OS and web server, install a CMS or eCommerce platform, and add custom code. You can also use SEO and social media to promote your site.
