VPS Web Hosting Explained

To answer the need for low-priced, but reliable hosting solutions, suppliers initiated a midway web hosting platform - the VPS web hosting. This is a virtual simulation of a web server that functions exactly like a : dedicated web hosting server and is much more advanced than any shared hosting package. On the other hand, as plenty of accounts are hosted on the same physical server and each person pays for their account, the price for a VPS web hosting account is significantly lower than the price for a dedicated server. A small-scale VPS web hosting package is a little more expensive than the most feature-rich shared website hosting package, but its system resources exceed by far those of the shared plan.

VPS Web Hosting Virtualization Panels: OpenVZ and KVM

Each particular account is isolated from the rest of the accounts on the 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 administered through a virtualization console where clients can see all running processes and terminate or reboot them, update server-side software applications, keep an eye on the consumed and the available resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are just several examples of software systems used for creating and administering virtual web server hosting packages. They involve diverse requirements regarding the CPU architecture, the OSs they are compatible with, and so on. For instance, KVM can perform on physical machines with x86 or AMD64 processors, can be installed on a web server running both Windows and Linux Operating Systems, and permits both of these Operating Systems to be installed on the concrete virtual hosting servers.

Managed VPS Web Hosting Services

The virtualization console offers the client the freedom to administer the VPS web hosting independently from the hosting provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their support team to reboot a specific service or restore a backup. If the user is not tech-savvy, however, we have a voluntary upgrade that incorporates Operating System and software application installation and update operations, VPS web hosting backups, as well as dedicated administrator support and troubleshooting procedures. We also have a number of VPS web hosting server datacenter locations to pick from: the USA, Britain and Australia.

Web Hosting CPs for VPS Web Hosting

The domain names and the content on the private virtual web hosting server are handled via a hosting CP tool, similar to a standard shared web hosting account's. The contrast is that with hosting accounts, users receive one specific hosting CP, while with a VPS web hosting plan, providers normally offer a bunch of website hosting CPs to choose from, and the more competent clients can install and avail of the website hosting CP they wish. Certain virtualization consoles support installing a web hosting Control Panel through them to render it simpler for the customer. Unluckily, the majority of the web hosting Control Panels are not free. Some require a monthly fee (cPanel requires $13 USD/month, check BuycPanel.com), while others demand a license fee (DirectAdmin). There are other web hosting Control Panels that restrict the number of the hosted domains (Plesk). While we speak of web hosting CP-equipped VPS web hosting, it's useful to point out that, by default, all VPS web hosting packages distributed by us are provided with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It offers unmetered hosted domain allowance. Hepsia is available at no extra license cost, hence the monthly cost of the private virtual web server package chosen by the user does not fluctuate. Moreover, Hepsia perhaps offers the greatest Domain Manager on the CP marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Powered VPS Web Hosting Accounts

The web hosting CP interface permits customers to administer domain name, files, databases, FTP and e-mail address accounts, to monitor web traffic and load logs and to monitor exhaustive statistics regarding the utilized and the remaining system resources. Akin with the virtualization panels, the web hosting Control Panels are constructed to run under a certain OS. For example, cPanel, which is one of the most famous web hosting Control Panels, works exclusively under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is fabricated by the same designer, functions only under Windows. Other CPs such as Plesk and Hepsia support several Operating Systems. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The superiority of some web hosting CPs over others is that they include several control levels - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level has access to a different set of features governing the levels beneath, so it is simple to launch a reseller web hosting website and commence making money by offering web hosting services to other individuals. As customers will be informed about what amount of the resources is used up, but will not see the actual numbers, even a small-size virtual private hosting server package will suffice to start a small-sized shared web hosting hosting corporation and gain capital.

The VPS Web Hosting: an Independent, Affordable Solution

A VPS web hosting is a relatively cheap hosting service, but it is advanced enough to support web portals such as a highly visited web store or a big company web page. As its administration is simple, it is the preferred choice of both rookies and capable customers.
