What is VPS (Virtual Private Server)
Virtual Private Server, commonly known as VPS, may be used in a variety of ways apart from just hosting your website.
Here are some of the things you can do with your VPS Singapore if you have extra space.
#1 Set Up Private Cloud Storage
You can easily turn your VPS into a cloud storage solution for your business. This can help you save money instead of paying for storage services.
You can store your media files, documents and backup files. You can also use it as an FTP server if you want to keep it easy.
By hosting your own cloud storage on your VPS, you can ensure that it is accessible from anywhere you need it. It is fully secure and completely under your control.
#2 Set Up A Mail Server
Most businesses allocate an extra cost for business email hosting. If you are already using VPS, you can save costs by hosting your own company’s email server.
With Exabytes, you can enjoy Virtual Private Server plans that can comfortably accommodate any self-hosted email servers.
Additionally, you can host all the addresses of your employees and store all their emails.
Then again, SaaS (Software As A Service) email services will regularly charge you by the number of accounts or mailboxes. These are costs you can stay away from using VPS.
#3 Set Up VoIP To Make Calls
You can also host your own VoIP (Voice Over IP) server, or utilize your VPS to make calls over the internet.
This way, you don’t have to invest in another long term infrastructure and extra hardware.
#4 Setting Up A VPN To Encrypt Your Wireless Connection
We strongly recommend you to install a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to create a secure connection on a public network.
It is critical to your business to avoid internet frauds, especially on payment details, client dates and more.
A VPN helps encrypt your internet connection and eliminate the possibility for hackers to read your data.
#5 Developing and Testing
If you are going to make changes to your website, application or software, we do not recommend executing it on a live website.
This can prevent anything from going wrong. A very common practice to follow is to have complete testing to identify bugs and ensure it is working properly before going live.
Thus you can create a separate database in your VPS where you can check on the changes outside of your live environment before you publish it. This is also known as a “staging” or “sandbox”.
