Step-by-Step Process to Build and Manage a Website Using cPanel on a VPS Server

May 23, 2024 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Stress tests comparing shared hosting and VPS hosting found that performance increased by 15% to 35% by switching from shared hosting to a VPS server. One reason VPS hosting is affordable is that Linux runs on about 60% of all VPS servers. It is open-source and free, meaning that hosting providers can offer much more budget-friendly VPS packages than if their offerings were limited to Windows. More than 2,500 companies offer VPS hosting, so it shouldn't be impossible to choose a VPS provider that fulfills your requirements in terms of resources, budget, and location.

Observability in IT refers to the ability to measure a system's internal functioning by studying its signals from the outside. Modern IT observability is achieved through three kinds of telemetry: metrics, traces, and logs. Metrics aggregate events to gauge a system’s current state. Tracing tracks the progress of each transaction to not only measure performance but also debug the problem. On the other hand, logs record each event, which can help during troubleshooting.
