What is VPS hosting?

To answer the need for cut-price, but reliable hosting services, distributors started a transitional website hosting platform - the VPS. This is a virtual imitation of a server that acts quite like a : dedicated web server and is much more powerful than any shared website hosting package. On the other hand, as lots of accounts are hosted on the same physical machine and each person pays for their account, the price for a VPS package is significantly lower than the price for a dedicated server. A small-scale VPS account is slightly more high-priced than the most powerful shared web hosting account, but its resources excel by far those of the shared website hosting package.

VPS Virtualization Platforms: OpenVZ and KVM

Each particular account is insulated from all other accounts on the web hosting server, so each Virtual Private Server can run a different Operating System and be restarted independently from the other ones. The Virtual Servers are managed via a virtualization console where users can take a glimpse at all running processes and abort or reboot them, update server-side applications, take a glimpse at the utilized and the available system resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are just several examples of virtualization panels used for setting up and handling private virtual web hosting server packages. They involve various requirements in relation to the central processing unit architecture, the Operating Systems they support, and so on. For instance, KVM can work on machines with x86 or AMD64 processors, can be installed on a server running both Windows and Linux Operating Systems, and allows both of these OSs to be activated on the actual VPS web servers.

Managed VPS Services

The virtualization panel offers the user the power to manage the VPS independently from the provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their customer support team to reboot a service or recover a backup. If the client is not experienced, however, we offer an optional upgrade that encompasses OS and software installation and update operations, VPS backups, as well as dedicated admin support and troubleshooting operations. We also have a couple of VPS data center locations to choose from: the United States, England and Australia.

Web Hosting CPs for VPS

The domains and the content on the virtual web server are manipulated through a website hosting Control Panel interface, similar to a traditional shared web hosting plan's. The distinction is that with website hosting packages, users receive one particular web hosting Control Panel, while with a VPS account, providers commonly offer several web hosting Control Panels to pick from, and the more trained clients can install and utilize the website hosting Control Panel they desire. Some virtualization consoles support installing a website hosting Control Panel through them to render things simpler for the user. Sadly, the majority of the website hosting CPs are not free of charge. Some of them ask for a monthly fee (cPanel asks for 13 USD/month, take a gaze at BuycPanel.com), while others demand a licence fee (DirectAdmin). There are other website hosting Control Panels that restrict the amount of the hosted domains (Plesk). While we speak of web hosting CP-supplied VPS, it's useful to state that, by default, all VPS packages offered by us are furnished with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. The latter offers unlimited hosted domain name quotas. Hepsia is attainable at no additional license charge, hence the monthly price of the VPS package chosen by the client does not fluctuate. What's more, Hepsia probably offers the finest Domain Manager on the website hosting CP market.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Powered VPS Packages

The website hosting CP interface allows users to manage domain name, files, databases, FTP and e-mail address accounts, to keep track of traffic and load logs and to have a glimpse at thorough stats concerning the utilized and the available resources. Similar to the virtualization consoles, the website hosting CPs are conceived to function under a particular OS. For instance, cPanel, which is one of the most famous web hosting Control Panels, functions only under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is built by the same firm, works solely under Windows. Other web hosting CPs like Plesk and Hepsia are compatible with several OSs. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The advantage of some hosting Control Panels over others is that they involve several control levels - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level has access to a different set of specifications governing the levels underneath, so it is simple to create a reseller web hosting website and commence making money by reselling web hosting plans to other people. As customers will observe what percentage of the resources is used up, but will not know the actual numbers, even a small virtual private web server hosting package will be enough to open a small-size shared web hosting website hosting company and collect money.

The VPS: an Autonomous, Low-Cost Solution

A VPS is a relatively cheap hosting service, but it is advanced enough to support sites such as a very famous online store or a huge corporate website. As its administration is easy, it is the preferred pick of both beginners and skillful users.
