How to Download a File From a Server to Your Desktop Using SSH

July 26, 2022October 24, 2020 by Jeff Wilson

An SSH session is like a portal into another machine. If you’re used to working with Windows, you’ll know how easy it is to transfer files from one location to another. Just drag and drop! No text commands, no authentication, none of that.

However, sometimes you will need to download a file from SSH to your local desktop, such as if you are using one of our managed VPS hosting services. And there’s no simple command from within the SSH terminal itself to do this. The two environments are too far apart. However, we have a dedicated tool called “SCP” which stands for “Secure Copy” that’s made for precisely these kinds of situations.

What Size Server Hosting Is Best for Small Businesses

Excellent performance and a great user experience are possible when you use a powerful web server that has ample resources. This is why you should estimate the size you’ll need from your web server – it helps keep your website running smoothly. But what size of Linux server hosting is best for your small business site? It actually depends on several factors.

Your hosting server’s load depends on how many databases and files are present, the operating system, installed software, server functions, and applications. There are several other factors to consider too, like security tools, access frequency, webpage size, number of users, whether the site is dynamic or static, and so on. Ideally, it is best to have a little more resources than the actual usage. This will allow the web server to efficiently handle high peak traffic, as well as accommodate any unusual spikes in traffic.

With the abundant options available across storage, RAM, CPU, and networking, it is time-consuming to choose the right server hosting for your use case. Let’s discuss what size server is best for you or your small business.

July 26, 2022October 12, 2020 by Jeff Wilson

The core objective of every business, whether it’s SMEs or large-scale corporations, is to provide their customers with an exceptional UX (user experience). Most of them start with a shared server or VPS hosting as they are cost-effective, but eventually such a hosting plan fails to sustain once you start to scale up. Knowing this, it might be hard to decide when to upgrade. Let’s show you when and why you should upgrade to a dedicated server.

Though dedicated servers are more expensive than shared hosting or VPS hosting, it is perfect for businesses who are serious about their website and want to expand.

Now it might be a bit challenging for businesses to understand when exactly to switch to a dedicated server.

So, in this post we are going to look at reasons why and when you should turn to dedicated server hosting:
