The good news is that it also carries the same cutting-edge hardware and great support that they are renowned for. So is there a catch? Find out in our full article!

What is a VPS server? A VPS server is an upgrade from shared hosting packages. In shared hosting, a singular web server and its resources are divided among several clients whenever they are required. However if, at any point in time, the total requirements of two or more clients exceed the supplied hardware of the server it will cause a lot of chaos. A VPS (Virtual Private Server) on the other hand is a singular web server that allocates resources in the form of smaller, virtual servers to the clients. The resources allocated for one client cannot be accessed by other clients so they can choose the hardware of their choice. 

All the technical things aside, what is the true benefit of a VPS over a traditional, budget shared hosting server? First things first, a VPS is able to handle much higher internet traffic and load when compared to any shared hosting. This allows businesses that have e-commerce sites, brand websites, blogs or any form of high-traffic site to keep their site up without facing any problems. For individuals that have their personal websites like blogs or portfolios, this factor is equally true.

Then there’s the perks that come with having a VPS. A VPS allows your website to load up faster on your client’s computer or smartphone. It also allows you to host more advanced material like social networks, online games etc. apart from the usual multimedia and text on a regular website. A VPS also offers a higher level of security than most shared hosting service providers, protecting your site from malware and DDoS attacks.

There are different types of VPS that vary according to the OS they are running since a VPS is like any regular computer. A VPS usually runs an open-source distribution of Linux that allows it to run almost like a command-line terminal so there is very little actual load on the VPS server itself thus optimizing its performance. However there is also the possibility of a VPS running Windows, namely Windows Server. This is almost exactly the same OS that probably runs on your computer as well, albeit with a few powerful tools added to it for server use.

So why should you choose a Windows VPS server over a Linux VPS server? Well there are several reasons that would cause you to make that decision. Firstly, Windows is a specialized OS with a lot of compatible software for it. Almost all email servers for example run on Windows due to the exclusivity of certain software for Windows. If your business requires some specialized software that runs only on Windows, it is a no-brainer to choose a Windows VPS. 

Moreover, Windows is a much easier OS due to its GUI and accessibility. If you want to take control of your VPS, which UltaHost allows you to do (unlike most other web hosting providers) by granting you complete Root Access and SSH as well as SFTP access protocols. Windows Servers also require less maintenance and software updates than Linux servers do as Microsoft provides upto 10 years of software support to a single edition of Windows Server. 

North America is one of the biggest internet markets by continent and it also happens to be where Microsoft, the company behind Windows, is located. North America has over 450 million active internet users which is almost 10% of all the internet users in the world and it also holds the record for the highest internet penetration rate for a continent at roughly 94%. Therefore, as a market, North America is a very valuable and viable market for any internet company.

Servers run fast and respond fast according to two things; the hardware they are equipped with and how far they are from the user connected to them. Canada is the largest country in North America and widely renowned for its high-quality of business and customer service. Larger cities in Canada are also cheaper than their U.S counterparts which affects the cost of web servers as well. UltaHost offers fast, high-performance and reliable VPS servers in Canada that are located in Toronto, one of the largest and most central cities in North America.
