What is VPS Hosting?

1. Unmanaged/Self-Managed VPS Hosting: A hands-on approach that requires technical expertise or in-house resources to manage server-related tasks. With unmanaged VPS hosting, the business owner takes care of all server responsibilities while the hosting provider manages the physical server and its availability, making it more suitable for established businesses with the necessary IT skills.
2. Managed VPS Hosting: A hands-off approach that lets business owners focus fully on other business tasks while the hosting provider handles server-related responsibilities like core updates, maintenance, and software installation, so business owners can focus fully on other business tasks.
3. Semi-Managed VPS Hosting: The middle ground between other options, with the basic unmanaged hosting provided and the added services of core software installation and support.

• Handle more website traffic: Reduce page load times and wait times as your website traffic grows since it can handle a higher volume of requests compared to shared hosting.
• Customize applications: Gain more control over your server environment to install custom software and integrate better with existing programs like CRM systems.
• Reduce server errors: Enhance your website’s performance as you add more content or complex functionality, as VPS hosting can handle compute-heavy websites better because they’re not competing with other sites for processing power.

Benefits of VPS Hosting

• Protection from resource-intensive attacks
• Extra security through the addition of firewalls, antivirus, and other software measures
• Fast and reliable performance due to having your own bandwidth
• Round-the-clock support focused full-time on server maintenance and reduced downtime
• Optimized environment for performance and security

1. Website design and development: Designing and developing websites that are culturally appropriate for different markets.

Less is More

Prioritize Readability

• Easy-to-read fonts
• High-resolution images
• Contrasting colors
• Subheadings
• Short paragraphs
• Shorter sentences

Use Consistent Branding

 

 

Maintaining a cohesive visual identity across all pages of your website establishes a sense of professionalism and trust with your audience. To keep your brand consistent throughout your website, use:

• A limited color palette that reflects your brand identity
• Your company logo in your website header and footer
• Consistent typography (font, sizes, line spacing, letter spacing, etc.)

Optimize for Mobile Devices

 

 

The majority of people use their cell phones to visit various websites today, so making sure your website is mobile-optimized is vital. A site that visually breaks on mobile will deter visitors from returning. In fact, search engines like Google will penalize sites that aren’t mobile-optimized by ranking them lower in search results, leading to decreased visibility and fewer visitors overall. The easiest way to optimize your website for mobile devices is to use responsive design elements and a grid system, which will ensure your site will adapt to different screen sizes.

 

While a well-designed website is vital for business owners today, designing a website as a non-designer can be intimidating; knowing your website needs updating or improving is easy, but knowing how to improve it isn’t always easy. That’s why many businesses trust companies like ours to build and design websites for them, making it easier. If you’re looking for professional design services for your website, check out our affordable web design packages.
