Virtual Private Servers Definition

To satisfy the need for cheap, but reliable hosting solutions, companies commenced a midway web hosting environment - the VPS web hosting. This is a virtual imitation of a hosting server that performs precisely like a : dedicated server and is much more feature-rich than any shared web hosting plan. At the same time, as numerous accounts are hosted on the very same physical web hosting server and each customer pays for their account, the price for a VPS web hosting plan is markedly lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A basic VPS web hosting plan is slightly more expensive than the most powerful shared web hosting package, but its system resources excel decidedly those of the shared web hosting plan.

VPS Web Hosting Virtualization Panels: OpenVZ and KVM

Each single account is insulated from the remaining accounts on the web server, so each Virtual Private Server can run a separate Operating System and be restarted independently from the remaining ones. The Virtual Servers are managed through a virtualization console where clients can keep track of all running processes and abort or reboot them, update server-side software, watch the consumed and the free resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are only several instances of virtualization consoles used for setting up and managing private virtual web hosting server plans. They involve diverse requirements concerning the CPU architecture, the Operating Systems they support, and so on. For example, KVM can run on machines with x86 or AMD64 microprocessors, can be activated on a web server running both Windows and Linux Operating Systems, and permits both of these Operating Systems to be activated on the concrete private virtual servers.

Managed VPS Web Hosting Services

The virtualization system offers the user the power to manage the VPS web hosting independently from the web hosting provider, sparing you the time you'd have waited for their customer support staff to reboot a specific service or retrieve a backup. If the user is not competent enough, though, we include an optional upgrade that includes OS and software application installation and update operations, VPS web hosting backups, as well as dedicated administrator support and troubleshooting procedures. We also have several VPS web hosting server datacenter facility locations to choose from: the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Australia.

CPs for VPS Web Hosting

The domains and the content on the VPS are handled via a web hosting Control Panel interface, similar to a typical shared web hosting account's. The contrast is that with web hosting accounts, customers get one concrete website hosting CP, while with a VPS web hosting plan, hosting providers normally give several web hosting Control Panels to choose from, and the more competent clients can install and use the website hosting CP they want. Certain virtualization panels support installing a Control Panel through them to render things simpler for the client. Unluckily, the majority of the website hosting CPs are not free. Some of these require a monthly tax (cPanel requires 13 USD/month, take a look at BuycPanel.com), while others request a licence tax (DirectAdmin). There are other website hosting CPs that limit the number of the hosted domain names (Plesk). While we talk about website hosting Control Panel-equipped VPS web hosting, it's worth pointing out that, by default, all VPS web hosting plans delivered by us are supplied with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. The latter includes unmetered hosted domain name allowance. Hepsia is obtainable at no additional licence charge, hence the monthly cost of the Virtual Private Server hosting account chosen by the customer does not fluctuate. Furthermore, Hepsia perhaps sports the finest Domain Manager on the website hosting CP marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Based VPS Web Hosting Packages

The website hosting CP user interface permits customers to manage domain name, files, databases, FTP and electronic mail accounts, to keep track of bandwidth and load logs and to observe detailed statistics concerning the utilized and the available resources. Comparable with the virtualization panels, the website hosting CPs are developed to operate under a given OS. For instance, cPanel, which is one of the most widely used CPs, functions exclusively under Linux CentOS, whereas Enkompass, which is conceived by the very same corporation, functions solely under Windows. Other CPs such as Plesk and Hepsia are compatible with several OSs. Hepsia supports the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The advantage of given web hosting CPs over others is that they have several control levels - administrator, reseller and client. Each level has access to a different set of specifications governing the levels underneath, so it is simple to launch a reseller web hosting website and commence making money by selling web hosting packages to other persons. As customers will see what amount of the resources is consumed, but will not observe the actual figures, even a small private virtual server web hosting package will be enough to set up a small-sized shared website hosting web hosting enterprise and earn capital.

The VPS Web Hosting: an Autonomous, Affordable Solution

A VPS web hosting is a relatively cheap hosting service, but it is advanced enough to support sites such as a very famous online store or a big corporate web page. As its administration is simple, it is the preferred choice of both beginners and skillful customers.
