In 2012, Sophos<\/a> estimated that more than 30,000 websites are hacked every day<\/strong>. Given how much the internet has grown over the last few years, the current number is likely much higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an owner of a virtual private server<\/strong> that can host multiple websites, you have a sizable target painted on your back. Luckily, the setup you\u2019ve chosen has many mechanisms to protect your virtual server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019ll see what they are\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why cPanel VPS Hosting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"How<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s see why a cPanel VPS<\/strong> is one of the best possible hosting platforms you can choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shared hosting<\/strong><\/a> may be the cheapest available solution, but it\u2019s riddled with problems. You utilize the same system resources as dozens of other users, so you can never be sure whether the performance will be up to par. The implications of sharing an IP address with multiple other users could also be serious, especially if your \u201cneighbors\u201d decide to send spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Virtual Private Server<\/a><\/strong> gives you much better security and more reliable performance. You get guaranteed hardware resources reserved just for you and available all the time. As you will be the only one using it, you don\u2019t need to worry about getting your dedicated IP blacklisted, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have the entire server to yourself, so the host allows you full control over the machine. A VPS is extremely flexible when it comes to customizations and can do wonders\u2026if you know what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHM & cPanel<\/strong> ease the client\u2019s burdens when it comes to secure web server management. With them, you get all the tools you need to create the best possible VPS hosting environment with minimum technical work<\/strong>. The management platform streamlines and automates many of the administration tasks.<\/strong> In the case of organizations, this can be an amazing time saver, and Time often equals Money in the business world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
