What is VPS hosting?

To meet the need for low cost, but reliable hosting services, distributors started a transitional website hosting environment - the VPS. This is a virtual simulation of a server that performs quite like a : dedicated web hosting server and is much more advanced than any shared web hosting plan. On the other hand, as numerous accounts are hosted on the very same physical hosting server and each client pays for their account, the cost of a VPS plan is much lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A basic VPS account is a bit more expensive than the most feature-rich shared web hosting account, but its resources surpass decidedly those of the shared hosting plan.

VPS Virtualization Platforms: OpenVZ and KVM

Each individual account is isolated from the remaining accounts on the web hosting server, so each Virtual Private Server can run a different OS and be rebooted autonomously from the other ones. The Virtual Servers are managed via a virtualization console where users can view all running processes and stop or restart them, update server-side software applications, see the used up and the remaining system resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are just a couple of examples of software programs utilized for creating and managing virtual web server plans. They involve different requirements about the central processing unit architecture, the OSs they are compatible with, etc. For example, KVM can perform on physical machines with x86 or AMD64 microprocessors, can be activated on a server running both Windows and Linux OSs, and allows both of these Operating Systems to be installed on the actual VPS web servers.

Managed VPS Services

The virtualization system lends the client the freedom to manage the VPS independently from the provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their customer support staff to restart a specific service or restore a backup. If the user is not experienced, however, we provide an optional upgrade that comprises Operating System and software installation and update operations, VPS backups, as well as dedicated administrator support and troubleshooting procedures. We also have a bunch of private virtual web hosting server datacenter facility locations to choose from: the United States of America, England and Australia.

Website Hosting CPs for VPS

The domain names and the content on the virtual private web server are tackled through a web hosting CP user interface, similar to a typical shared web hosting plan's. The distinction is that with website hosting plans, clients obtain one particular web hosting Control Panel, while with a VPS package, web hosting providers typically present a couple of web hosting CPs to pick from, and the more advanced customers can install and use the CP they want. Some virtualization consoles support installing a website hosting Control Panel through them to make it simpler for the user. Sadly, most web hosting CPs are not free. Some of them demand a monthly tax (cPanel wants $13 USD/month, check out BuycPanel.com), while others demand a licence tax (DirectAdmin). There are other web hosting CPs that limit the number of the hosted domains (Plesk). While we address website hosting CP-supplied VPS, it's good to mention that, by default, all VPS plans supplied by us are fitted out with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It includes unlimited hosted domain allowance. Hepsia is attainable at no extra license cost, so the monthly price of the VPS account picked by the user does not fluctuate. Last, but not least, Hepsia probably sports the finest Domain Manager on the website hosting Control Panel marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Driven VPS Packages

The website hosting Control Panel interface permits customers to manage domain name, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol and email address accounts, to monitor bandwidth and load logs and to have a glimpse at thorough stats about the utilized and the available resources. Comparable with the virtualization consoles, the website hosting CPs are designed to run under a specific Operating System. For example, cPanel, which is one of the most famous web hosting CPs, operates exclusively under Linux CentOS, whereas Enkompass, which is fabricated by the very same firm, functions exclusively under Windows. Other hosting CPs such as Plesk and Hepsia are compatible with several Operating Systems. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The superiority of given website hosting Control Panels over others is that they involve different levels of control - administrator, reseller and client. Each level has access to a separate set of functionalities controlling the levels beneath, so it is easy to create a reseller web hosting website and begin making money by offering web hosting plans to other people. As customers will see what amount of the system resources is used up, but will not be aware of the real numbers, even a small-size VPS web hosting server account will suffice to start a small-size shared hosting website hosting corporation and make cash.

The VPS: an Independent, Economical Solution

A VPS is a comparatively cheap hosting service, but it is powerful enough to support web portals such as a highly visited online store or a big corporate site. As its management is simple, it is the favored choice of both inexperienced users and expert users.
