VPS vs Cloud Hosting | Should You Use Web hosting?

[@TheCocoaDaddy]

I tend to host sites with a shared hosting plan and really haven't had any issues with performance. Support can very from web hosting company to web hosting company. For me, it's mostly about not having the time to admin my own server (which I used to do, many moon ago). I've been curious about trying out VPS hosting, but haven't had the time to try it out. Over-subscription of servers certainly can be a problem, but I've noticed some hosting companies monitor their servers pretty well, so they aren't "maxed out" all the time. One issue people considering shared web hosting should keep in mind is being hosted on the same server with a site that's been blacklisted for whatever reason. In this case, your site *can* also experience issues because it's assumed the *server* is engaging in questionable activity. For example, if you host email in your domain on the shared host, you might not be able to have your site send email (contact form submissions, for example) because no mail servers will "talk" to your server, due to the server being on a blacklist (DNSDBl, RBL, etc.). Great video! Thanks for posting!

If you're not having tons of traffic you can host your own website on a NAS or something as well, assuming you purchase the domain.

[@ChrisTitusTech]

And assuming your internet isn't run by "Spectrum" lol. I literally have had 10+ outages on my home internet since the start of the year.

[@praetorxyn]

@@ChrisTitusTech Yeah. Until a year or two ago, I had Satellite. A local telecom cooperative finally ran fiber down our road, I'm paying $65 for 25 Mbps and a static IP (static IP was necessary as I was double NATed without one and couldn't forward ports), so it's pricey but a godsend compared to what we had before.

raspberry pi! all in for under 100 bucks and you own it!

[@Meleeman011]

i use linux all the time. i love vps. if you need clustering use docker, or if you're really cool, use node and do pm2 for load balancing. docker can handle and load balance any exotic programming languages you want tho

[@Бутерсмаслом-ф7н]

Love the channel. Thanks a lot!

[@adrianteri]

Kindly do a video on Mail servers. Host vs pay for the services. And also if you can squeeze in another video how to configure a mail server. Most videos on YT are 2+ yrs old ....

[@HelloHelloXD]

Great idea

[@majorgear1021]

I need this. I’d love s video on setting up mailcow.

[@SridharKatakam]

Chris, what are your thoughts on Upcloud? Are they really better than DigitalOcean, Vultr etc. as they claim to be on their site?

[@webhosting5960]

Extreme Video! Wouldn't surprise me if this video went viral.

[@jphabsgameworld2061]

i kinda love VPS now. Even though i dont have the skill to do that. I rate my self 0/10 😭, since i dont have a laptop or pc to do it. I only have samsung android. I will just watch your tutorials and learn from it and apply those skills you shared if I get a laptop or pc someday 😊.

[@dyllanusher1379]

Or ask your parents for a computer homie! Maybe even try saving your money and getting a used desktop, which is a great computer for the money.

[@kingsley.uchenna]

Thanks Chris for the clearance

[@kremelkeyz5985]

Question, Do you think it's ok to setup a website on azure?

[@dpr6516]

ew, m$ ... Sure, why not?

[@rotimiodun3540]

Hi, thanks for the insight. Please I do all my server stuff using Node.Js. What hosting service would you rather recommend? Thanks ahead.

[@Jel.Awesh.M]

Did you find the answer? I am currently in the same situation wondering what is a good option for NodeJS.

[@toavnwub]

Hello Chris! Sorry if it has nothing to do with the video but can you make a video about how to clear cache on debian? like the apt stuffs, or basically the system in general Great video btw, keep up the good work!

[@ChrisTitusTech]

My video tomorrow is "Linux Maintenance" and I go over specifically apt clean, autoclean, and autoremove in it.

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

If your site is small and doesn't get too much traffic, you can get away with running a web-server (and other stuff) on a Raspberry Pi (or equivalent) from your home with your home Internet service. It'll perform well enough and use little power. Once your site "pops off" (🤦) and you start pulling in a lot of traffic and using a lot of bandwidth, then you should go with a real web-host. I'm running my site from an Orange Pi and it's great (I just wish I could get nginx to work with WPMU. :-\)

[@webhosting5960]

Intense Video! Fantastic job on this video.

[@taxaction1]

Even though there are other factors to take in account like industry, company size, budget etc it was a valid vid 👍

[@yamelamadorfernandez7416]

If Chris finds more valuable to this community, which he decided to embrace, to recommend the right thing instead of winning money from this subject, then we should be proud of such an exemplar way of treating the audience. But that folks, is not losing money, there is a difference between NOT winning a bite for doing the right thing and losing whats already in your pocket. We always tend to literally state that NOT winning = losing and it is not. After all, when you decide to do only one thing like it is the case of KZbinrs, that only one thing is really a ton of possibilities that the youtuber have to know how to mine in order to convert them into profit sources. I don't think that NOT making profit of a 5% of them would be bad if the intelectual value actually balance the whole thing.

[@cloudagnostic]

Link to the vps?

[@ChrisTitusTech]

Sorry Eran, added to the description as well bit.ly/upcloud-ctt

[@cloudagnostic]

Chris Titus Tech thank you. I’ve completely moved away from web hosting to vps thanks to you. Your Linux tuts are really helpful!

[@CheapHomeTech]

Did I miss a handful of explicit VPS recommendations?

[@adegokeademolajames9617]

I just liked your video right now. I am looking for videos on VPS, I want to learn VPS Hosting

[@kevinhughes9801]

Great video thanks Chris! Just looking at switching to a managed vps do you have a video on them? Also can you do a video on your 2019 recommendations for hosting providers? Looking to get managed vps and setup a nextcloud using ur video u did.

[@piotrtalarczyk8987]

For a static site s3-like or shared hosting?

[@akashd8063]

Depends on traffic dude..

[@niks_]

Love from 🇮🇳....You make ausm videos.

[@mohamedel-damarawy6595]

So you’re saying that AWS and google cloud is just plain old web hosting?

[@deliriumcode]

One video about clustering would be a great extension to this video. 😉

[@PJBrunet]

Like the video says, most websites don't need a cluster. If you have several million visitors/month, you might be OK with just one server, or maybe one separate server for the database... beyond that you're probably big enough to hire some engineers to find optimizations, like for one client I had millions of posts hosted on a $20 Droplet, I rewrote WordPress from scratch and created some very sophisticated rolling caches... the client had money to pay me but didn't want to invest in servers LOL. 99.999% of businesses will be fine with one server per database unless they're doing something weird. There's always more things you can optimize. Clustering databases, you have tradeoffs and usually it's not necessary because you can almost always find a bigger, faster server, I don't think it's really necessary unless you're the Chinese government, Google, NASA, on that kind of scale... That's just my opinion though LOL.

[@2kbluedragon]

can u run a ecommerce shop in cloud hosting? like the google free tier thing from your other video?

[@dpr6516]

of course

[@ddrci88]

Fb ads driving traffic one day 5k session running on woocommerce which cdn do I need to use ? How much cpu ram do I need ? Thanks

[@saasmentor8586]

There's one more thing to consider, there's not only skills required to maintain VPS, there's a lot of time needed as well, and I mean really A LOT! So if you sole entrepreneur it doesn't really matter if you have those skills more important if you have time for it. There was a time when I hosted my own email server for all of my sites on postfix, it was fun but then Google came around with their solution and I switched to it, suddenly I realized that now I have more time for my family and a gym!

[@zXHAcKeRzXz]

How do you manage to make 10 times the sames videos ?

[@gimcrack555]

None of my website get hit hard with heavy traffic. I never seek for heavy traffic, it just there to send people there to check things out. Everyone I have is free web hosting. Never had a problem with any of them. It's up 99% of the time. I know their maintenance times. I have three websites on three different free web hosting. Not counting my blogs, which are also on free hosting sites. Free is good for me, because I don't like to pay. It's more entertainment for me and the practice of making websites. Never had a heavy spike of traffic, so I don't need a ton of bandwidth. I guess one is sorta used as a commercial website. But it's local so it's not like the whole world needs to be hook to it. I just saying free is good to, if you just want to get something out to show just a hand full of people not for the whole world to see.

[@dianedooley6483]

Hi Chirs, thanks for the video, I prefer cloud hosting but I am confused because there are tons of hosting provider in the market which provide different features with different prices. Some of the providers are listed below: Siteground Cloduways WPEngine Kinsta It would be great if you can recommend me to one of the greatest hosting providers.

[@abdurrahmanlakhani942]

You have shared a good comparison between them but the common issue between both of them is server management. So Cloudways managed hosting solution is a reliable solution in terms of ease of server management.

ok linux guys a have a question , wtf is that scroling so slow on lynux mint chromium or firefox ?? why sount have no base or base option sound is terible ? why wifi is so slow ? i have simple wifi adapter works fine on windows 10 , so this are siple things user wonts from os and on lynux i have to turn up side down internet to found solutions and than type sudo comend that dont work some does some dont so any coments or solutions plzz ?

[@Cyanwasserstoff]

Okay, first of all let us go from problem to problem. Your scrolling is slow in your web-browser, but otherwise the scrolling speed of your mouse is working fine ? Then it might be connected to the slow internet problem. You are saying your wifi network is slow ? How did you set it up and do you use WEP or WPA for the security of your wifi-network? Did you use some specific routing table in Windows or do you directly use your internet provider as DNS and Gateway ? which sudo commend did you use and for which purpose ? What did and what did not work as intended ??
