Virtual private servers (VPS) are actually the most popular type of servers because they provide more enhanced performance and features than shared hosting and they cost less than a dedicated server.
With VPS hosting, users may share a number of physical resources such as disk space, CPU and RAM, but they will still enjoy the freedoms of having a private server, such as having your own control panel.
A big server is called a ‘node’, and the VPS is just a small part of this node. But a virtual private server still allows users to be in charge, fully, of all their own settings and configurations. This freedom allows you to customize and make any changes or adjustments that you need, as situations arise.
Since a virtual private server it is not actually a physical server, you do not have to worry about space or resources (RAM, CPU, Network bandwidth) as these are in the ‘cloud’ and managed by sophisticated datacenter tools at KnownHost.
VPS users still have access to the same resources and features as they would have otherwise, and they still have the freedom to install any application and make changes to those applications. Since you are not actually sharing any hardware, you will not have to be concerned about the physical server maintenance and security – that’s where KnownHost’s highly skilled technicians come in!
Our VPS nodes are divided into isolated containers that each have their own set of memory, disk space and CPU power - keeping you in control at all times.
If you're on traditional hosting, then a VPS provides a decent amount of benefits. One of the many being increased resources and power for your applications. A VPS gives you control over your webhosting environment that allows you to make the configurations and adjustments necessary for your website application. Such control allows you more options in server applications compared to traditional hosting.
If you're looking to development an application or you require specific PHP modules that aren't available, then a virtual private server is definitely something that's going to provide you that advantage.
Rock n Roll Hosting provides support for many different various system services on a VPS. For instance, we support either panel cPanel or DirectAdmin. We provide adjustments and modifications to Apache, PHP and MYSQL based configurations as needed by the customer in either performance and/or optimization requests. We ensure that the server is up to date, having the latest security fixes and latest critical updates.

Should you need more speed and performance you can also consider switching to an ssd-powered VPS package which has the same advantages as a VPS but offers faster performance due to the presence of SSD hard drives. VPS SSD is highly recommended for websites that use a lot of disk caching, for example WordPress websites with the w3 Total Cache plugin
Outside of these two options, we also offer shared cloud hosting.
If you are serious about your website or online business then you should consider upgrading from your shared hosting to a managed platform on our VPS (SSD), Cloud VPS or Dedicated Server packages, depending on your needs and budget.
