What Exactly are Virtual Private Servers?

To satisfy the demand for cut-price, but reliable hosting solutions, vendors commenced an intermediate web hosting solution - the VPS hosting. This is a virtual imitation of a web server that works just like a : dedicated web server and is much more advanced than any shared hosting plan. On the other hand, as a lot of accounts are hosted on the same physical hosting server and each customer pays for their account, the price for a VPS hosting plan is markedly lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A small-scale VPS hosting account is slightly more expensive than the most powerful shared website hosting account, but its resources exceed by far those of the shared web hosting account.

VPS Hosting Virtualization Panels: OpenVZ and KVM

Each single account is isolated from the rest of the accounts on the server, so each Virtual Private Server can run a different Operating System and be rebooted autonomously from the other ones. The Virtual Servers are managed through a virtualization panel where customers can monitor all running processes and abort or reboot them, update server-side software applications, take a glimpse at the utilized and the remaining resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are just a few examples of virtualization consoles utilized for creating and managing virtual server packages. They involve different requirements in regard to the central processing unit architecture, the Operating Systems they are compatible with, etc. For instance, KVM can operate on machines with x86 or AMD64 microprocessors, can be installed on a server running both Windows and Linux OSs, and allows both of these OSs to be activated on the actual virtual servers.

Managed VPS Hosting Services

The virtualization panel gives the client the power to manage the VPS hosting independently from the web hosting provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their support staff to restart a particular service or restore a backup. If the user is not skilled enough, though, we provide an optional upgrade that encompasses OS and software application installation and update operations, VPS hosting backups, as well as dedicated admin support and troubleshooting operations. We also have a bunch of virtual server server farm facility locations to pick from: the United States, Britain and Australia.

Web Hosting Control Panels for VPS Hosting

The domain names and the content on the private virtual server are handled via a website hosting CP GUI, similar to a typical shared web hosting plan's. The distinction is that with website hosting plans, clients get one specific website hosting CP, while with a VPS hosting account, providers traditionally provide a couple of website hosting Control Panels to choose from, and the more knowledgeable users can install and use the website hosting Control Panel they want. Some virtualization systems support installing a web hosting Control Panel through them to render things easier for the user. Unfortunately, most web hosting Control Panels are not free. Some of those demand a monthly fee (cPanel charges thirteen dollars/month, have a glimpse at BuycPanel.com), while others demand a license tax (DirectAdmin). There are other website hosting CPs that restrict the amount of the hosted domains (Plesk). While we speak of web hosting Control Panel-supplied VPS hosting, it's good to mention that, by default, all VPS hosting accounts distributed by us arrive with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It offers unlimited hosted domain allowance. Hepsia is offered at no extra license charge, hence the monthly cost of the private virtual hosting server account chosen by the user does not alter. Last, but not least, Hepsia probably sports the finest Domain Manager on the hosting CP market.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Driven VPS Hosting Packages

The website hosting Control Panel user interface allows customers to manage domain name, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol and e-mailbox accounts, to observe traffic and load logs and to see comprehensive statistics regarding the used up and the remaining system resources. Akin with the virtualization consoles, the Control Panels are conceived to operate under a given OS. For example, cPanel, which is one of the most widely used web hosting CPs, operates only under Linux CentOS, whereas Enkompass, which is designed by the very same firm, performs only under Windows. Other website hosting CPs like Plesk and Hepsia are compatible with several Operating Systems. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The advantage of some web hosting CPs over others is that they involve several levels of control - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level has access to a separate set of specs controlling the levels beneath, so it is simple to launch a reseller web hosting website and start making money by selling web hosting packages to other persons. As clients will know what percentage of the system resources is used up, but will not see the actual figures, even a small virtual web hosting server plan will be enough to open a small-size shared website hosting website hosting corporation and gain money.

The VPS Hosting: an Autonomous, Economical Solution

A VPS hosting is a comparatively cheap hosting service, but it is advanced enough to support websites such as a very popular web store or a huge company site. As its administration is simple, it is the preferred choice of both rookies and qualified clients.
