With online businesses expanding and the Internet touching more and more lives every day, web hosting has become an integral part of the modern world. In looking for web hosting services, you will often encounter terms like VPS hosting - metered and unmetered hosting. What do these stand for?

VPS is short for virtual private server. It is like the traditional dedicated server where there is a single computer and operating system in charge of communicating with the Internet and downloading the pages through a browser. However, VPS offers a slight twist: the VPS consists of only one actual computer and several servers, each with its own operating system. Because the servers are fully virtual and the only physical components to be invested in are software programs acting as hard drives, memory and web hosting applications, VPS hosting fees are usually much cheaper than dedicated server hosting.

Today, there are two options of VPS hosting to choose from: the metered and unmetered hosting. Unmetered hosting (known to others as unlimited hosting) is usually cheaper yet offers you an unlimited amount of disk space and ...
... bandwidth. Metered hosting, on the other hand, provides you with an exact amount yet costs higher.

To determine which type of unmetered service you need, it would help to know just how much bandwidth you will need for your website/s. With an unmetered service, you will not be charged if you are using more bandwidth than agreed upon. With a metered service, there is usually a limit of 1,000 to up to 3,000 GB per month. Once you exceed this limit, you will typically need to pay high prorated charges for every additional GB.

Now if you are maintaining a website where vast amount of information is being used and transferred, and where thousands of online users are expected to visit every day, unmetered bandwidth VPS will provide you unlimited bandwidth allowing faster downloads and more usage of the system, allowing even higher work performance.
What makes an unmetered VPS better than regular web hosting? Regular web hosting can usually be rented for a lot less than unmetered VPS. However, with regular web hosting you don't have control over the server, nor can you decide on the OS the system would run. You are a mere tenant on a shared server. With an unmetered VPS, you enjoy unlimited bandwidth, get root access allowing you the freedom to install whatever software you need, and you don't share the system with anyone else.

Unmetered VPS can meet all the bandwidth requirements of your busy website. For more information on unmetered VPS web hosting and how it can meet your hosting needs, feel free to inquire with us here at NQhost.
