Today, many small, medium & large size organizations are
adopting Windows VPS hosting services. In windows VPS hosting you will get
services as dedicated server in reasonable prices. The websites that uses
technologies like .ASP, ASP.net, SQL databases are best suited with windows
VPS. In this hosting your hosting service provider provides you many
technologies like ASP.NET, MSSQL database, control panels & compatibility
with applications & software by Microsoft. In this hosting you will also
get Graphical User Interface (GUI) feature. Along with these features, many
service providers provide VPS with SSD feature. This is a drive like HDD but has
more speed & reliability. At present time SSD is providing highest speed of
data uploading as per as the good performance in comparison to others. Below
mentioned is brief description of both drives.
HDD:
HDD stands for Hard Disk Drive. You can get hard disk in low
cost around $.075 per GB. This is heavier than SSD around 752g. HDD contains
moving parts platters, hard disk head stores & reads data from the platters
by moving around its axis while platters spin fast. The average boot up time of
this drive is around 40 sec. Lots of disk space capacity available in hard disk
capacity range from 500 GB to 4 TB. Hard disk has moving parts so more heat is
produced. Speed of HDD is less than SDD. In this drive spinning can be heard
due to spinning or moving parts. This is not safe from effects of magnetism so
your data can erase.
SDD:
SDD stands for solid state drive. This is made up of either
plastic or metal case & looks like a battery. This drive doesn’t have any
moving parts, & information is stored on microchips. So SSD is faster than
HDD, data can be accessed with high speed. But this is more expensive than HDD around $1
per GB. This drive is lighter than hard disk (77g). This drive has three
components- controller, capacitor & cache. Controller performs operations
related to reading & writing the data. This is the main part of drive to
determine speed of drive. SSD contains NAND based flash memory & this is
non- volatile memory. If you turn off the drive, it doesn’t forget data stored
on it. Operating system boot up time of drive is around 22 sec. There are no
moving parts so little heat is produced. But it has limited storage space
capacity from 250 GB to 1 TB. This drive is safe from effect of magnetism.
If your website requires high performance & fast response
time or you are running a busy site, you should opt for SSD hosting plan. Both
hosting options are good if you choose according to your needs. Before choosing
a hosting plan, you should clear about your requirements: storage space, high
performance & cost.
