If you’ve decided that VPS hosting is the right choice for your web presence, what are the things you should consider when choosing a host? Other than how much you can afford, there are three main areas which need careful consideration.

One thing you need to check into is uptime. That is, how long your website is going to be live on the internet. A good hosting company will have what’s called “redundancy,” meaning that your site exists on more than one server in case one goes down. A good web host will have an uptime between 99 and 100%.

How much physical disk space is available for your website? If you’re running a large database, your space needs are going to be greater than that of someone who is just posting pictures. Make sure you are getting enough disk space for your applications.

Finally, you will need to look into how much memory, or RAM, is available on the machine. Since you are sharing memory with other customers, this is a critical factor if your programs are memory intensive.
