Category: Linux VPS Hosting
Reading Time: 9 minutes A lot will hinge on the 24/7 availability and performance of your website. That may be much less true if your site is one that exists for personal interests or for anything that’s not related to a livelihood, but if it’s a site that puts your business on the map then the way the web pages load for visitors is important. And even more important is having the assurance that your site is going to be up and open on the web at all times. Providing that assurance is at the core of what makes a Canadian web hosting provider a good one or not, and here at 4GoodHosting we’ve made a name for ourselves to the point that we get to say we’re one of them. VPS hosting is best for business websites, and today we’re going to look at managed Linux VPS hosting . There are different web hosting OS options that providers will make available to customers, but Linux is usually the default choice when it comes to widespread compatibility. A website is going to have infrastructure, and unless you’re code-savvy you’re not going to be able to distinguish it in the slightest. That’s fine, and we’re sure you have your own expertise. We’ll just say briefly that most websites have the type of infrastructure that lines up best with Linux web hosting. People with a new business website are encouraged to explore Canadian VPS hosting plans and more often than not they’ll be advised that Linux web hosting is going to be the best fit for them. It is not often that new customers will come to us asking about this fit, but if they do this is usually the direction the conversation will go. The exception to that will be if they have a WordPress website, and that’s a fairly common instance as there are more WordPress sites than any other type out there on the World Wide Web. In either instance, managed web hosting is going to be an appealing option for business owners that are happy to assume the cost knowing that their website is an integral contributor to the success of the...

Reading Time: 20 minutes Did you ever indulge yourself in dreaming in the least possible way about a concept of running a business in Canada? Say, a glam e-store in Toronto, a chic rest dental store in Vancouver, or maybe the newest tech trend in Montreal? Somewhere must have crept in serious thoughts on something SEO-related. That yin-yang of being a nice and simple gem for small businesses to scale up, but almost making a mad house with such a flood of clients to consider. Anyway, the hullabaloo everywhere about keywords, content, and backlinks, just for us to reminisce about this extremely short window time in such a hard-hit manner: that triangular stop-hold for our indigenous nations when assessing country-based nature (or trust.contains) for operation purposes. Country domains can thus be a potential game-changer. Undeniably, the wittiest Canadian businesses have sensed it coming, and rightly so! One would imagine that the .was something that could have been painstakingly thought about for ages. After that time, it became sorely old and degraded, almost like an outcast for the .com. For areas more custom-built for Canadians, the .ca is being a sin in the most literal and dead-on-hot-terms. Not just as a cosmetic feature, it has become 'one' for local SEO, and perhaps even more importantly: a way-to-stitch-your-associations-with-your-clients-across-the-nation. In this blog post, we are going to dissect in-depth how .ca has gotten so much great attention for the intelligent Canadian companies and how tying up with a badass Canadian web-hosting partner like 4GoodHosting could truly breathe life into your local presence online. The .ca Advantage: More Than Just a Pretty Domain So, why would I even think of surrounding the .ca domain with importance? Is it just a matter of being patriotic? True, .ca seems an attractive name and connotes a web identity relative to Canada; unfortunately or fortunately, the power of the .ca domain literally stops at the pretty logo fraternity. The point then lies in sending direct and meaningful signals to search engines and, more importantly, the real potential prospects that show evidence that one is genuinely targeting the Canadian market. Telling Google, "Hey, I'm Local!" Just imagine being in Calgary late at night...

Reading Time: 10 minutes The P in VPS stands for private, but if you talk about a virtual server being private then it sounds more like the interest is in privacy. As in all others not having the means of knowing what you’re doing in there. But we’re talking about web hosting here, and there’s really no interest in privacy at all. Well, that may not be entirely true as you do do get better website security with a VPS and data is better kept private when it needs to be. Secure VPS hosting in Canada is a part of why people will choose it for their site, but the biggest part of the appeal is always going to be with the exclusive access to operational resources. In that sense it might be best to promote it as VEX, or virtual exclusive server if we’re to put the spotlight on giving the website what it needs to handle traffic spikes, etc. There are all sorts of benefits that come with more available bandwidth, and website page load speeds are always better when you have VPS too. And if you’re with a reputable Canadian web hosting provider like 4GoodHosting you can also count on 24/7 VPS support in Canada too if there’s a bump in the road for any reason with your hosting. The good news is that happens next to never, and we take pride in seeing how many VPS-hosted sites do well with our hosting and the way that the people (or businesses) behind those sites don’t have to concern themselves with much of any thing if they have Managed VPS hosting. The managed part of it means that the web hosting provider handles every single detail related to having the site best set up and operating with maximum functionality and ongoing optimizations. So many businesses opt to go with a VPS for their site because they know it’s a smart move that’s right in line with the spend-money to make-money philosophy and they know that their website is an integral part of how new customers or clients come their way at all times. They’ll want to go even further in ensuring their...

Reading Time: 9 minutes You will often hear people with expertise in marketing talk about ‘meeting people where they’re at’ and stressing that it’s an essential part of making yourself visible to prospective customers. There is certainly validity to it, and these days more often than not where prospective customers are at is online in search engines like Google or Bing and trying to determine which business has the entire package of what they’re looking for. It’s not just the product or service itself, it’s the price attached to it as well as what level of reputability the provider has. It’s for this reason and a whole host of others that businesses put the greatest level of value on their online presence, as quite simply that’s where the bulk of new customers are going to be originating from. Each business website is going to be the primary resource for all of this to happen, and without an SEO optimized business website any of these owners is going to be at an immediate disadvantage. But they may also be at a disadvantage if they don’t have VPS hosting for their website, and that’s almost certainly going to be the case if their site is likely to see traffic spikes - high volumes of site visitors arriving at the same time. Another consideration will be if the nature of the site and / or the products or services offered create any type of security risk for customers who pay for them through the site. One of the things we will always stress with web hosting services Canada is that there needs to be no room at all for any type of shortcomings with your hosting. Especially if collecting and securing every single new customer possible is a priority for your business, and that’s nearly always the case when it’s a new business amid plenty of competitors. It’s for this reason that most business owners don’t need much convincing when it comes to advantage of VPS hosting and seeing that it’s entirely worth it to pay more for the service. If your site is already SEO optimized then having a virtual private server for it is taking...

A physical server is divided or chopped up into virtual compartments using virtualization technology. Each "virtual" server is its own self-reliant entity, thus setting aside the following: Operating system Disk space RAM CPU allocation That means you can install software, run applications, and manage your site like you would with a dedicated server, but without the high price tag.
