As a customer of
hostpro.com, I advise you to consider their VDS hosting options for your test website. Your choice to switch from shared hosting to VDS will show more flexibility and control over the virtual machine, which is important during the deployment phase of a working project.
As for the pitfalls of VDS hosting and working with a virtual machine, here are some recommendations:
- Technical skills: Make sure you have basic technical skills to administer the server, as you may need to work with the command line and configure the server.
- Security: Pay attention to security issues. Set strong passwords, use firewalls, and update software regularly to avoid possible threats.
- Backups: Make regular backups of important data and server settings to be able to recover in case of information loss.
- Scalability of resources: Make sure you choose a VDS plan that matches the amount of resources you need for your test website.
Regarding VPS hosting providers, Regvps.com and Rockhoster.com, I recommend conducting a thorough analysis of their plans, prices, resources, and user reviews. This will help you make an informed choice based on your budget and project needs.
As a hostpro.com customer, I can attest to their reliability and quality of service, so you may also want to consider hostpro.com for VDS hosting. It can be beneficial, especially if you are already familiar with their shared hosting
