Virtual Private Servers

Developing websites can be expensive, especially if you want to run your own server so that you can customize the settings and applications to suit your needs. Aside from server hardware costs, you need to find a great collocation facility that ensures your server is up 99.9% of the time – and collocation fees are not cheap. Then you need to buy licenses for the OS if you’re not running a Linux box, the applications if you’re not using Open Source applications. It can add up to quite a large sum. But don’t worry, there is still a bootstrapping alternative to your online business. Rapid Switch is offering virtual private servers or virtual dedicated servers. Virtual Private Servers are privately segmented parts of a physical server that can host your applications and software. It gives you root or administrator access to your VPS. When you’re starting your business, resources may be limited – this is the next best thing to your own dedicated server at a much lower cost. And if you want to try it out and see first, Rapid Switch has a VPS Starter plan for just £1 – truly a great deal!
