What Actually is VPS web hosting?

To meet the demand for low cost, but reliable hosting services, distributors launched an intermediate website hosting platform - the VPS web hosting. This is a virtual imitation of a server that behaves precisely like a : dedicated web server and is much more powerful than any shared web hosting package. At the same time, as a lot of accounts are created on the same physical web hosting server and each user pays for their account, the price for a VPS web hosting plan is considerably lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A basic VPS web hosting package is a little more expensive than the most advanced shared website hosting account, but its resources exceed decidedly those of the shared hosting plan.

VPS Web Hosting Virtualization Panels: OpenVZ and KVM

Each specific 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 administered via a virtualization console where customers can see all running processes 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 only a few examples of virtualization consoles utilized for setting up and administering private virtual server accounts. They involve diverse requirements concerning the CPU architecture, the Operating Systems they support, and so on. For instance, KVM can work on physical machines with x86 or AMD64 microprocessors, can be installed on a web hosting server running both Windows and Linux OSs, and allows both of these OSs to be activated on the actual private virtual web hosting servers.

Managed VPS Web Hosting Solutions

The virtualization console offers the user the freedom to manage the VPS web hosting autonomously from the hosting provider, sparing you the time you'd have waited for their technical support staff to reboot a service or retrieve a backup. If the client is not experienced, though, we provide an optional upgrade that incorporates Operating System and software application installation and update operations, VPS web hosting backups, as well as dedicated administrator support and troubleshooting operations. We also have a couple of VPS hosting server data center facility locations to pick from: the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Web Hosting CPs for VPS Web Hosting

The domain names and the web content on the VPS hosting server are managed via a web hosting Control Panel GUI, similar to a traditional shared web hosting plan's. The difference is that with hosting plans, clients get one concrete hosting Control Panel, while with a VPS web hosting account, providers traditionally give a handful of website hosting Control Panels to choose from, and the more practiced customers can install and use the web hosting Control Panel they want. Some virtualization systems support installing a web hosting Control Panel through them to render it easier for the user. Unluckily, the majority of the website hosting CPs are not free of cost. Some of them require a monthly fee (cPanel asks for 13 dollars/month, have a look at BuycPanel.com), while others demand a license fee (DirectAdmin). There are other Control Panels that restrict the amount of the hosted domain names (Plesk). While we discuss web hosting CP-equipped VPS web hosting, it's useful to point out that, by default, all VPS web hosting packages delivered by us are fitted out with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. The latter includes unlimited hosted domain name allowance. Hepsia is offered at no further license cost, hence the monthly cost of the virtual hosting server account chosen by the user does not alter. Moreover, Hepsia probably includes the best Domain Manager on the hosting Control Panel marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Driven VPS Web Hosting Packages

The web hosting CP user interface enables clients to handle domain name, files, databases, FTP and e-mail box accounts, to keep track of web traffic and load logs and to view thorough statistics about the used up and the left resources. Comparable with the virtualization panels, the website hosting CPs are conceived to run under a specific OS. For instance, cPanel, which is one of the most popular website hosting CPs, performs only under Linux CentOS, whereas Enkompass, which is conceived by the very same designer, works only under Windows. Other CPs such as Plesk and Hepsia are compatible with several Operating Systems. Hepsia supports the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The superiority of given web hosting CPs over others is that they involve several levels of control - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level can access a different set of specs controlling the levels below, so it is easy to create a reseller web hosting website and commence making money by offering web hosting solutions to other people. As customers will see what amount of the system resources is used up, but will not know the actual numbers, even a low-end private virtual server hosting account will be enough to set up a small-sized shared web hosting hosting firm and receive capital.

The VPS Web Hosting: an Independent, Cut-Price Solution

A VPS web hosting is a relatively cheap hosting service, but it is advanced enough to support online portals such as a very popular web store or a huge corporate website. As its management is easy, it is the preferred choice of both rookies and advanced customers.
