VPS Hosting Description

To fulfill the demand for cut-price, but reliable hosting solutions, providers introduced a midway website hosting platform - the VPS. This is a virtual emulation of a hosting server that performs just like a : dedicated server and is much more advanced than any shared hosting account. At the same time, as a lot of accounts are set up on the same physical hosting server and each customer pays for their account, the cost of a VPS plan is much lower than the price for a dedicated server. A small-scale VPS account is a bit more high-priced than the most powerful shared website hosting account, but its system resources surpass by far those of the shared package.

VPS Virtualization Consoles: OpenVZ and KVM

Each individual account is insulated from the rest of the accounts on the web hosting server, so each Virtual Private Server can run its own OS and be rebooted autonomously from the rest. The Virtual Servers are managed through a virtualization console where clients can see all running tasks and stop or reboot them, update server-side applications, take a look at the consumed and the available resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are merely several examples of virtualization systems utilized for creating and handling VPS web hosting accounts. They involve different requirements with regard to the central processing unit architecture, the Operating Systems they support, and so on. For instance, KVM can function on machines with x86 or AMD64 processors, can be installed on a server running both Windows and Linux OSs, and allows both of these Operating Systems to be activated on the concrete private virtual hosting servers.

Managed VPS Services

The virtualization console offers the user the power to manage the VPS independently from the hosting provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their client support team to restart a given service or recover a backup. If the client is not skilled enough, though, we include an optional upgrade that contains OS and software installation and update operations, VPS backups, as well as dedicated administrator support and troubleshooting procedures. We also have a bunch of virtual web hosting server server farm locations to pick from: the USA, the UK and Australia.

Hosting Control Panels for VPS

The domains and the web content on the private virtual web server are administered through a web hosting Control Panel user interface, similar to a normal shared web hosting plan's. The difference is that with website hosting packages, clients obtain one particular hosting Control Panel, while with a VPS account, providers traditionally provide a handful of hosting CPs to choose from, and the more proficient customers can install and avail of the web hosting Control Panel they want. Some virtualization panels support installing a web hosting Control Panel through them to make things easier for the customer. Unfortunately, most web hosting Control Panels are not free of charge. Some of these ask for a monthly fee (cPanel demands $13 USD/month, visit BuycPanel.com), while others require a licence tax (DirectAdmin). There are other web hosting CPs that limit the number of the hosted domain names (Plesk). While we speak of web hosting Control Panel-supplied VPS, it's useful to state that, by default, all VPS plans furnished by us incorporate the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. The latter offers unlimited hosted domain quotas. Hepsia is available at no further license charge, so the monthly price of the VPS hosting server account picked by the customer does not alter. Last, but not least, Hepsia probably sports the best Domain Manager on the website hosting Control Panel marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Driven VPS Accounts

The hosting CP interface permits clients to administer domain name, files, databases, FTP and e-mailbox accounts, to view web traffic and load logs and to see exhaustive stats regarding the utilized and the left system resources. Comparable with the virtualization panels, the website hosting CPs are built to function under a specific OS. For instance, cPanel, which is one of the most widespread website hosting Control Panels, works only under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is developed by the same firm, operates solely under Windows. Other web hosting CPs like Plesk and Hepsia support several Operating Systems. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The superiority of some web hosting Control Panels over others is that they have different control levels - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level can access a separate set of functions controlling the levels below, so it is easy to build a reseller web hosting website and begin making money by offering web hosting packages to other persons. As clients will monitor what percentage of the system resources is utilized, but will not know the actual numbers, even a small virtual server plan will be enough to run a small shared website hosting website hosting firm and receive capital.

The VPS: an Autonomous, Inexpensively Priced Solution

A VPS is a comparatively cheap hosting service, but it is powerful enough to support websites such as a very popular online store or a large corporate web page. As its management is simple, it is the preferred choice of both beginners and trained users.
