Is your website built using ASP or ASP.NET? Does your website use Microsoft Access, MSSQL, PHP or any Windows based email and applications? If you have a Microsoft Windows based website, your website functions and performs best with Windows web hosting. Sometimes, and especially when your business experiences significant increases in traffic and your website is running on a Windows shared web hosting plan, it may not perform as well as you need it to during those peak traffic times.

When shared Windows hosting does not give you the speed and reliability your business depends on, evaluate whether you are ready for Windows virtual private server hosting. A recently published JaguarPC article, Complete Functionality for Dynamic Windows Based Websites with Windows VPS Hosting, gives you an in-depth look at Windows VPS hosting. You will also learn the advantages of Windows virtual hosting and what to look for when choosing a Windows VPS host.

Many businesses find Windows virtual private server hosting the ideal solution for their growing websites and applications that are built using Microsoft Windows ASP and ASP.NET technologies. Virtual hosting gives website owners dedicated resources, root access, and increased security. Unfortunately, many websites that utilize Windows scripts and programs such as ASP and ASP.NET may experience decreased performance and functionality if they are not configured properly.

The diminished performance occurs with Windows websites and applications using virtual hosting solutions that are not configured to run ASP, ASP.NET, Windows Access and Windows MSSQL databases. In order to maximize performance including speed and response times from websites and applications developed using the Windows platform, ASP, ASP.NET, and Microsoft databases such MS Access and MSSQL, the Windows VPS host you choose needs to have the experience and knowledge it takes to properly configure Windows VPS hosting.

At JaguarPC we design our Windows VPS hosting plans to ensure performance, security, and provide plenty of room and support to help your business to grow. And we know how to fully configure and fine-tune Microsoft Windows based technologies for your websites and applications that run on Windows virtual private servers.

Website owners have in-depth knowledge about their business, but often need more help when it comes to managing their web hosting accounts. JaguarPC makes it easy for website owners to manage their web hosting accounts with the help of cPanel, a web-based control panel that simplifies website management. JaguarPC’s Linux VPS hosting plans combine the power of Linux virtual private server hosting with the power of cPanel VPS web hosting to help website owners get more out of their website’s functionality.

A recently published JaguarPC article, Combine Security and Agility with cPanel VPS Hosting, explores how to use cPanel virtual private server (VPS) hosting to increase performance, security, and flexibility for your website and business. Customers interested in upgrading to a VPS Linux hosting account can utilize JaguarPC’s cPanel VPS web hosting plans and support to help increase the performance, security, and flexibility of owning and operating a website with cPanel.

Navigating and customizing your cPanel VPS web hosting account

The cPanel control panel has a web-based interface so you can access your website and administer your website regardless of where you are located. As long as you have Internet access, a browser, and your login details, you can login to your cPanel VPS hosting account and manage your website.

Businesses are using VPS hosting for more control, security, and performance. But how do you get the most out of your VPS hosting plan once you make the move to a VPS hosting account? The right control panel makes a difference. JaguarPC offers cPanel control panel with all cPanel VPS hosting accounts so you have the freedom and flexibility to easily do what you want and need to make your website great.

Virtual private hosting or VPS hosting gives you more control over server resources allocated to you by your hosting provider. For example, you can control how your disk space and bandwidth are provisioned. And in some cases you can get root access and control the software, applications, and operating system you put on the virtual server. With so many options available, the control panel you use with your VPS hosting account becomes extremely important.

Administer your server with the click of a mouse

JaguarPC gives you a choice of cPanel, Interworx, DirectAdmin, and Plesk control panels for Linux virtual hosting.

You have the flexibility and control to adapt your website as your business grows. When fine-tuning your overall business strategy, your Linux virtual private server hosting enables your website to keep pace seamlessly with your broader business and online objectives.

Taking full advantage of Linux VPS open-source technology

As an open-source operating system, Linux virtual private servers are compatible with online applications scripts that enhance the look and functionality of your website. Some popular open-source applications compatible with the VPS Linux system are audio capability, video editing, search function, advanced file management, and many more.

Linux virtual private server hosting gives you the resources and power of a dedicated server without the higher price tag.

Powerful programs for databases such as Apache, MySQL, and PHP run on Linux hosting. You can choose the operating system that works best for your type of website, including CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora Core, and Suse. In addition to operating systems, JaguarPC Linux VPS offers a choice of cPanel Interworx, DirectAdmin, and Plesk control panels.

The power of a dedicated server in your Linux VPS

VPS hosting offers small and medium sized businesses powerful hosting services, similar to those of a dedicated server, for a fraction more than the price of shared hosting. Performance of VPS web hosting is superior due to your personal control of server resources and the security protection that having your own virtual server provides.

In a recent press release, JaguarPC announced the benefits that VPS web hosting can have for your website and online business. To find out more about increasing the speed and performance of your website through virtual security and control, take a look at JaguarPC’s recent press release, JaguarPC VPS Hosting Plans Provide More Security and Server Control.

What type of control do you get with VPS hosting?

With JaguarPC virtual hosting plans, you get to select the operating system, software, and applications you need for a customized website. You can also monitor and control how much disk space and bandwidth you use since you are the only user on your virtual server. The choices of other VPS web host users will not affect the hosting performance of your website. Furthermore, a VPS host account enables you to test out different application or software options without negatively affecting any other accounts on your server.

Your operating system options for customizing JaguarPC VPS services include Linux VPS hosting and Windows VPS hosting. All JaguarPC virtual private servers come with full management and root access is standard so your level of technical expertise will not limit the performance and flexibility of your website.

How is VPS web hosting more secure than shared hosting?

The main point of vulnerability with shared hosting is in uploading and downloading files through a server-wide operating system. Malicious users may infect every account on an operating system through one corrupted file. Unlike shared hosting, JaguarPC virtual private servers are protected from each other with individual operating systems running on each virtual server. Contaminated files in one virtual server will not affect any other virtual server in the system. In fact, a hacker will not realize that other virtual servers are on the system.

How else does JaguarPC VPS hosting help your business succeed?

Unlimited domains, free DataLockBox backups, and 24-7-365 technical support for every question you may have are standard with all JaguarPC VPS hosting plans.

For those outgrowing their shared hosting accounts, virtual private server (VPS) hosting may be the solution you need to get your website loading quickly and functioning optimally. With significantly more memory, power, and disk space than shared hosting, VPS hosting can be the springboard for considerable growth in your business.

Increased traffic and an increased interest in downloads from a website is great for business, until the loading and downloading times discourage visitors and slow the growth that websites need in order to succeed. A shared web hosting account has numerous other websites sharing network resources and increased traffic, especially a sustained increase in traffic, affects every other website sharing that server. A website on a shared hosting plan that experiences a surge in popularity could quickly reach their resource limitation, resulting in serious downtime.

What makes JaguarPC VPS web hosting great for growing businesses?

With JaguarPC VPS web hosting, you share a server with only a few other websites so you have much more disk space, memory and bandwidth to use, and you control your own operating system. Regular backups, software updates, and constant monitoring of the server means you get to focus on growing your web presence and building a relationship with your web visitors instead of worrying about the status of your web hosting.

With your choice of control panel and operating system, full root access and unlimited domains, JaguarPC VPS hosting provides you with the tools you need to control your website environment for optimal performance. JaguarPC’s technical support is available 24-7-365 for any questions, including details about the different VPS hosting plans: Linux VPS hosting, Windows VPS hosting, and managed VPS hosting.

It’s critical that businesses complement their servers with an investment in a high-quality backup and storage solution.

By Greg Landis

Businesses of all sizes are increasing their use of the Internet on a daily basis. They are using the Internet to communicate, publish content and store and process data with the help of web-based applications. With all of this content and data being created and stored on servers, there is a corresponding need to ensure its safety. Hard drives can fail, servers can be hacked, human error can cause data to be deleted, and the data centers that house these servers could catch fire or become victim to natural disasters or even terrorist attacks. All of these are plausible scenarios that can threaten the integrity of the data stored on a server.

Because of these realities, it is absolutely critical that businesses complement their servers with an investment in a high-quality backup and storage solution. This will guarantee that mission-critical data and content is backed up regularly and protected against technical failure, human error or disaster. All types of organizations need this type of insurance. A single hard drive failure can result in the permanent loss of important content, contact information, sales records and financial data. Such a disaster would be a death sentence for any organization conducting business on the Internet. There are other good reasons to have a backup plan. With the right protection in place, customers can be free to experiment and push their servers to do more without having to worry about the negative ramifications. It also brings peace of mind that contributes positively to an organization’s operations.

Buy data protection from a hosting company

It makes a great deal of sense to buy storage and backup solutions from a hosting company. They already host the customer’s server and data protection is a logical extension to web hosting that can be integrated and run off the same network. Customers also benefit from a single bill for all their IT hosting services and by working with their hosting company, have a single point of contact, a high degree of familiarity and comfort and the ability to manage their environment from a single unified interface.

Customers should understand that backup and storage is typically not included with a standard dedicated server. It is usually purchased as an optional add-on service. However, a problem in the market is that many hosting companies are not aggressive about educating and selling customers about the importance of data protection. Even worse, many hosting companies do not even have an affordable, fully functional and easy to use solution. Customers that value their data and want backup and storage services should look for a hosting company that has the breadth and quality of services they are looking for.

JaguarPC’s Data LockBox

JaguarPC has been in the hosting business for over a decade and offers its customers Data LockBox, a backup and storage solution built on R1Soft’s industry-leading Continuous Data Protection (CDP) software. CDP enables customers to back up their servers by providing near real-time replication of their data. JaguarPC installs the CDP software on the customer’s server and it takes snapshots and duplicates the content and data onto a separate backup server. Because the data replication process is continuous, customers are able to restore their servers to a designated point in time in the event of hardware failure or disaster. CDP provides bare metal restore capabilities – bringing back the original state of the server, complete with the entire operating system, settings and data. No re-configuring or re-installation of the operating system is required.

Data LockBox brings a number of other features and capabilities to the table.
CDP backs up incrementally, copying only sectors of a disk that have changed since the previous backup. Combined with standard compression technology, this reduces storage utilization and CPU overhead significantly and enables the replication process to be completed within minutes. CDP also features full data encryption during transmission and in storage, ensuring robust levels of security. Other features include a MySQL database add-on, true database in-memory backup, event logs, reporting capabilities and support for both Windows and Linux-based virtual machines.

With Data LockBox, customers receive access to a web-based control panel, which allows them to manage their data protection capabilities and instantly restore content directly from the backup systems. Customer can also set backups to take place on an hourly basis. The level of control provided through the management tool gives customers that prefer to be hands-on the flexibility they are looking for and enables them to access their solution remotely and on a 24/7 basis.

Data LockBox supports servers running on both the Linux and Windows platforms and can be used to backup hosted servers, on-premise servers, office workstations and personal computers. JaguarPC also provides back up servers – powered with free versions of R1Soft – to other hosting companies on a white label basis.

JaguarPC has been in the backup and storage business for several years, having been one of R1Soft’s beta testers and original hosting partners. With a long history hosting for the SMB and enterprise community, and a strong technical grasp of storage technology, JaguarPC is uniquely positioned to meet the data protection needs of customers.
