A VPS, or a virtual private server, is almost essential if you have a business that is active on the internet. Those that depend on ecommerce to grow both their business and their reputation have to make the right decision about which VPS is best for their business. There are options and choices, some good and some not so good for a growing business.

You will also need a team to manage and maintain it. On the plus side, you have total control over all applications and installations and updates on the server. But you have to have some programming knowledge or have access to someone with the proper training. Professional IT people are best at using unmanaged VPSs since they can keep things updated on a regular basis and take care of any technical problems that may arise. They are definitely not for beginners without the proper support. If you do not have a management team with the right training it may be best pay more for a managed VPS.
When you're looking for a cheap Windows VPS you will need to compare packages to be sure your needs are met. You'll want to see how much disk space is provided, how much traffic that the server can accommodate and how much RAM is offered. Does it have a user friendly control panel? How fast is the data transfer? You'll also want to make sure that support is available 24/7 in case you need help. You may also want to be able to have access to the root so that you can install any application you wish on your server at any time you want. And ideally, you'll want to find a cheap Windows VPS that allows you to upgrade any time you wish as your business grows.
A Cheap Windows VPS can make the difference between success and failure but do not make the mistake of sacrificing quality for price. Many cheap VPS providers are able to offer the right price because they skimp on services. You may find your server unavailable at the worst possible time or problems may not be corrected in a timely manner. This can adversely affect your business and the services you are trying to offer your clientele.
