So you want to know what the top 5 applications are that you should run on a VPS hosting account instead? It is hard to imagine any applications that will not run better on a dedicated server of any kind, VPS or otherwise, but for the sake of argument we will go with the following examples: Game server VPS, Forex VPS, Reseller Hosting VPS and Web based email VPS.

Game Server VPS

As with any application, game servers can benefit from the lower cost of a virtual private server compared to the cost of a purely dedicated physical server. Gamers are the ultimate speed users and VPS will allow them the increase that comes from using a server dedicated entirely to their passion. Many VPS companies that cater to these users also try to keep up-to-date with the fastest processors, broadband Internet speeds and ping times. These are not usually priorities for most shared hosting companies. Enhanced security is another benefit of VPS software for gamers. Since they can have super-administrator powers on a virtual private server, they have a better chance of surviving any attempts by the strangers they may be playing with to infect their software.

Forex VPS

The applications used by foreign exchange traders (Forex), also work most efficiently on VPS software. Speed, price, and security are all factors, of course, but perhaps the best reason to use Forex VPS is the ability to stay in touch with your trading positions from any place in the world accessible to the Internet. You do not have to drag your computer and vulnerable files around with you. Sit down to any computer with a connection and pull up your personal trading platform which has been running 24/7.

Reseller VPS

Reseller hosting is another application that works well with VPS software. Resellers need lots of space and it is cheaper on a virtual server than on a dedicated one. Resellers that use shared hosting for their businesses have to take whatever the larger host gives them in the way of operating systems. With a virtual private service, however, the reseller can chose his own operating system or systems and allocate space to his own liking. Over all reseller control is improved by the ability to have full root access.

Email VPS

Virtual private server hosting is a must for businesses offering web based email offerings. As with all other applications speed, price and security are enhanced by VPS hosting. The greatest single advantage however, might be the full administrative rights and access that can be granted with a virtual private server. Most shared hosting environments will not allow the installation of third-party components to insure data recovery should the email suffer a loss. Virtual private servers will allow third-party components.

Virtual private servers are the best answer for most companies running out of space on their personal computers or shared hosting systems. VPS software has advantages for most applications. This article has discussed the top five applications best implemented with VPS hosting.
