Virtual servers: more safety for less money
If you want to run a blog alongside your company website, webshop or commercial site you are going to need a domain name and a web host, and of course a server for the storage of your digital data. If you do not have an office or you don't even want one – e.g. because you run a webshop and only need a warehouse – it would be hard for you to find a way to store the server. In this case you should use a virtual private server (VPS).
This is also the best solution if you are worried about unauthorized access to your data, as you probably don't have the sufficient financial resources to store your server on a professional server farm, but the host you rent the server from – in this case, us – does. It is a misconception that company data is the most safe when stored on your own machine. It is far better if it is located in a remote data center, where the servers are under constant technical and security surveillance, protected from unauthorized intruders, environmental effects or power outage.
