Why Developers Get Addicted to VPS Hosting: The Psychology of Buying More Servers

[johny899]

Hey all forum members, I want you ask you a question? Did you ever lie in bed all night and think about telling yourself, "Let me just add in one more VPS"? That small requirement is an all-nighter. So why do we keep doing it? Let's cut through the whys.

Building Things is Fun​

There's something nice about booting a brand new server. It's like a new notebook for you where you got the right to put anything you want in it.

You can install:

• A VPN for you
• A website uptime monitor
• An email server
• A Docker test box

Did you ever install Linux just for the fun of it? Yes, I have as well. We Love Being in Control. You're in control as the owner of your own VPS.

You can choose what to install.

• You don't need to worry about shared hosting problems.
• You learn through doing it yourself.

It is wonderful to be in charge. And once you become accustomed to it, you can't help it.

Not Too Expensive​

Guys, you know there are some hobbies that cost less. With VPS, a few bucks is worth. It is not expensive and it appears useful, but you may not get to utilize all of them.

We Like to Get Them​

That's where the brain comes in. You've had your initial VPS, now you need more. Why? Because

• You want to be somewhere else.
• You just want to know if another person is quicker.
• You enjoy comparing controls, speeds, and features.

You've got servers everywhere before you know it, in America, in Europe, in Asia.

It's More Than Hosting​

Buying VPS servers is more of a fun, learning, and control activity than it is a necessity. So if you have more servers than projects then I have to say you're not alone. You're on the VPS hobby team. So, join us by sharing your VPS experience and fun things.
