VPS Web Hosting Description

To answer the need for affordable, but reliable hosting services, distributors introduced a midway hosting solution - the VPS web hosting. This is a virtual simulation of a hosting server that functions precisely like a : dedicated server and is much more advanced than any shared website hosting account. At the same time, as a number of accounts are set up on the same physical machine and each customer pays for their account, the price for a VPS web hosting solution is considerably lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A small-scale VPS web hosting package is a bit more expensive than the most feature-rich shared web hosting plan, but its resources excel decidedly those of the shared website hosting package.

VPS Web Hosting Virtualization Systems: OpenVZ and KVM

Each single account is isolated from the remaining accounts on the web hosting server, so each Virtual Private Server can run a different OS and be rebooted independently from the other ones. The Virtual Servers are administered via a virtualization console where customers can view all running processes and stop or reboot them, update server-side software applications, keep track of the utilized and the free resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are only several examples of virtualization systems used for creating and managing VPS web hosting plans. They have different requirements in relation to the central processing unit architecture, the OSs they support, etc. For example, KVM can work on physical machines with x86 or AMD64 processors, can be activated on a web server running both Windows and Linux OSs, and permits both of these Operating Systems to be activated on the actual VPS web hosting servers.

Managed VPS Web Hosting Services

The virtualization system lends the client the freedom to manage the VPS web hosting autonomously from the hosting provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their client support staff to restart a particular service or restore a backup. If the customer is not experienced, though, we include a voluntary upgrade that comprises Operating System and software application installation and update procedures, VPS web hosting backups, as well as dedicated admin support and troubleshooting operations. We also have a bunch of virtual server datacenter facility locations to pick from: the United States, Great Britain and Australia.

Hosting CPs for VPS Web Hosting

The domain names and the web content on the VPS web hosting server are administered through a website hosting Control Panel tool, similar to a traditional shared web hosting plan's. The difference is that with website hosting plans, clients obtain one particular web hosting Control Panel, while with a VPS web hosting account, hosting providers commonly give a handful of web hosting Control Panels to pick from, and the more competent customers can install and utilize the web hosting Control Panel they want. Some virtualization platforms support installing a CP through them to render things simpler for the customer. Sadly, the majority of the web hosting CPs are not cost-free. Some ask for a monthly fee (cPanel charges $13/month, take a glimpse at BuycPanel.com), while others ask for a license fee (DirectAdmin). There are other website hosting Control Panels that restrict the amount of the hosted domains (Plesk). While we talk about website hosting CP-supplied VPS web hosting, it's worth mentioning that, by default, all VPS web hosting accounts offered by us are provided with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It includes unlimited hosted domain name allowance. Hepsia is obtainable at no further licence charge, so the monthly cost of the private virtual web server account selected by the user does not fluctuate. Besides, Hepsia probably sports the best Domain Manager on the web hosting CP marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Based VPS Web Hosting Packages

The web hosting Control Panel tool permits clients to manage domain name, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol and e-mail box accounts, to view traffic and load logs and to take a glimpse at elaborate statistics about the used up and the free system resources. Akin with the virtualization panels, the web hosting CPs are devised to function under a given OS. For example, cPanel, which is one of the most widespread website hosting CPs, functions only under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is made by the same designer, works exclusively under Windows. Other Control Panels such as Plesk and Hepsia are multi-platform. 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 levels of control - administrator, reseller and client. Each level can access a separate set of features controlling the levels below, so it is simple to launch a reseller web hosting website and begin making money by selling web hosting accounts to other persons. As customers will observe what amount of the system resources is consumed, but will not know the actual figures, even a low-end virtual web server package will suffice to run a small shared website hosting website hosting company and make money.
