• Personal blog
• Static display page
• Small website with limited budget

VPS Hosting: The Golden Balance of Flexible Control and Stable Performance

VPS hosting (Virtual Private Server) uses virtualization technology to divide a server into multiple virtual servers, each of which has an independent operating system and resource configuration. This allows users to enjoy high performance and the flexibility of free configuration.

Key Features:

• Stable performance：Each user has exclusive resources and will not be affected by traffic fluctuations of other websites.
• Highly flexible: Users can freely choose the operating system, install software, and even set up their own server environment.

Applicable to:

• Medium-sized enterprise website
• Development and testing environment
• E-commerce platform with stable traffic
