Upcloud<\/strong> is a finland based cloud service provider that offers hosting solutions as cheap as $5 per month. Upcloud hosting is one of the best alternatives to DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS, Azure, Skysilk, Interserver & Vultr. In the fast paced world, it is very important that your website does not take much time to load even on the devices with less internet speed. As such, it is crucial for the webmasters to deploy their websites on the servers nearest to the locations from where their visitors mostly visit apart from choosing the fast hosting solution.<\/p>\n I remember the old days when I used to open five to six web pages from the search results and continued with the one which loaded faster(exceptions exist). That was the time when faster was the winner. Much of that has not been changed yet. Even now with fast internet speed, we have witnessed to see the growth of video content. As such, many websites use embed video and social media content, loads of Javascript libraries and what not to make it very heavy. So, as of today not only a better server can help you get the speed but optimization can. In this post, I will review Upcloud hosting service and also tell you how you can optimize your website and server for better performance.<\/p>\n Upcloud offers hosting service that is secure and is capable of limiting the traffic by IP address or Port with a firewall. It offers scheduled simple and flexible backup options that make it highly reliable.<\/p>\n Uptime is very important for any project you may have. You can use any uptime monitoring tool such as Screpy to monitor the uptime. Upcloud <\/strong>gives its users 100% Uptime SLA<\/strong> and a 50x payback for any downtime over 5 minutes.<\/p>\n Customer support is very crucial for determining the strength of a hosting company. Upcloud is among those that offer you quick response for your queries. Their customer support is very reliable. There is live chat option enabled on their website as well. So, when you put your query, a support person is immediately assigned to the conversation to assist you with your questions. Upcloud uses intercom live chat to assist its customers.<\/p>\n Most of the web owners switch from shared hosting or low potential hosting to a cloud VPS hosting when they have scalable plan.

In order to resize your existing server, you first need to shutdown your server which is otherwise than deletion and takes only 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n You can either choose from the standard resizing plans or opt to customize your plan under flexible plan option where you can manually choose the CPU, Memory, RAM or Storage.<\/p>\n Upcloud charges their clients on the hour basis for the servers.

These automated backups can be purchased both at the time of new server deployment and at any time after the server is created. There are three backup plans one can opt for viz. Week Plan, Month Plan, and Year plan.<\/p>\n Upcloud offers an advanced firewall that limits server traffic. It ensures advanced protection from various hacking attempts. To make use of a firewall, you need to add incoming and outgoing traffic rules. Like automatic backups, a Firewall also costs you excess cost to your normal server cost. The firewall works based on rules on a first match basis from top to bottom.<\/p>\n Upcloud allows you to organize your servers. As such, you can give a tag to any of your existing servers. With the help of these tags, you can segregate your various project and even make use of them while giving permissions to members inside your workspace.<\/p>\n Like Linode, DigitalOcean, and many other hosting platforms, Upcloud too allows you to add trusted members to whom you can give various permissions. You have control over whether to give them access to all or any selected property for servers, private networks, storage, and tags. <\/p>\n You can see the stats for your server inside your server overview dashboard. It shows you statistics graph for 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month and last 1 year.<\/p>\n Deploying a new server on Upcloud is really easy. Follow these simple steps with me:<\/p>\n Once you have deployed the server and you want to upgrade or degrade your existing server you can do that by resizing your server. To resize your server you first need to go to your Upcloud Dashboard and click on the existing server.<\/p>\n On the overview tab, you can see the Configuration section where you can find the specifications of your existing server. Below that, there is resize button to manipulate the server specifications.<\/p>\n Once you click that button it shows you the below window. To resize your server, you will first need to shut down your server first. Once your server is shutdown, the resize section containing various plans will become active and you can choose the plan of your choice.<\/p>\n You can also customize new server under flexible plan.<\/p>\n Resizing will take a couple of minutes. You will get a notification and also an email updating you about the new server up-gradation\/degradation status.
