WordPress on VPS: detailed configuration instructions

wordpress

Imagine that you have decided to create a website. At first glance, everything is simple: download WordPress, put it on hosting - and here is a blog, online store or corporate website ready.

But there comes a moment when it becomes cramped within the framework of shared hosting. The site grows, attendance increases, and the tariff with memory and processor limitations begins to slow you down. The page loads slowly, and from server overload the site can fall down.

And this is where it's time to move to a VPS. Control over the server, flexibility of settings, the ability to expand resources as the site grows - this is what you need.

How to choose a VPS for big data without extra costs

vps

Processing big data is not just a process, but a challenge. The server is running, the amount of information is growing. In order for the server to cope, from time to time webmasters take plans with more powerful hardware.

If the tasks are related to analytics, storage and processing of data in real time, VPS will be the best solution. In this article we will tell you how to choose the right tariff so that you have enough power and don’t have to overpay a dollar.

What is big data?

Imagine getting up in the morning, and your phone has already collected a bunch of statistics: how many hours you slept, how many steps you took yesterday, what the weather was like outside the window, and perhaps even how many calories you ate. All this is data. Now imagine that such a set of information about all residents of the city is stored in huge databases. This is big data.

Why should Django applications only be hosted on VPS?

Django

Developers are familiar with applications that are slow to respond, crash when there is an influx of users, and are unavailable at important times. In 9 cases out of 10, shared hosting is to blame. Resources are shared among tens or hundreds of users, and control over the server is minimal. Using shared hosting is like renting a room in a dorm.

Why only VPS is suitable for working with big data

сервер

Big data is not just a lot of information. This is when the amount of data grows at such a rate that it is impossible to process it using Excel. And this is where the magic of big data begins: you need to be able to quickly collect, process and analyze information from different sources in real time.

And now imagine if the database tries to digest this on a regular hosting. Hosting that operates on standard configurations for small sites is not able to cope with such loads. The result is slowdowns, failures, and customers are sent to competitors. Want to avoid this? The answer is simple: VPS!

If a site or project depends on data, then the server must be powerful. Otherwise, you risk encountering a situation where the site slows down and users leave.
