Definition of Virtual Private Servers

To satisfy the demand for modestly priced, but reliable hosting services, suppliers launched a midway website hosting platform - the VPS hosting. This is a virtual imitation of a server that performs just like a : dedicated web server and is much more powerful than any shared website hosting plan. At the same time, as a lot of accounts are hosted on the very same physical hosting server and each person pays for their account, the cost of a VPS hosting plan is considerably lower than the price for a dedicated server. A small-scale VPS hosting plan is a little more high-priced than the most feature-rich shared web hosting package, but its system resources surpass decidedly those of the shared web hosting account.

VPS Hosting Virtualization Systems: OpenVZ and KVM

Each separate account is insulated from the rest of the accounts on the server, so each Virtual Private Server can run its own OS and be restarted independently from the other ones. The Virtual Servers are managed through a virtualization panel where users can have a look at all running processes and stop or restart them, update server-side software applications, keep track of the consumed and the available system resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are merely several examples of virtualization consoles used for setting up and managing VPS web hosting server plans. They involve diverse requirements with respect to the CPU architecture, the Operating Systems they support, and so on. For instance, KVM can function on physical machines with x86 or AMD64 microprocessors, can be activated on a hosting server running both Windows and Linux OSs, and allows both of these Operating Systems to be activated on the concrete VPSs.

Managed VPS Hosting Solutions

The virtualization panel lends the user the freedom to administer the VPS hosting independently from the provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their technical support staff to restart a particular service or restore a backup. If the user is not proficient, though, we offer an optional upgrade that contains OS and software application installation and update operations, VPS hosting backups, as well as dedicated admin support and troubleshooting procedures. We also have a bunch of virtual web hosting server datacenter facility locations to pick from: the USA, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Website Hosting CPs for VPS Hosting

The domain names and the content on the VPS server are dealt with via a web hosting CP GUI, similar to a common shared web hosting plan's. The contrast is that with web hosting plans, customers get one particular website hosting Control Panel, while with a VPS hosting account, web hosting providers normally offer a number of website hosting CPs to pick from, and the more skilled customers can install and make use of the web hosting CP they like. Certain virtualization systems support installing a web hosting Control Panel through them to make things simpler for the customer. Unluckily, most web hosting CPs are not cost-free. Some demand a monthly fee (cPanel requires $13/month, have a peek at BuycPanel.com), while others demand a license fee (DirectAdmin). There are other website hosting Control Panels that limit the number of the hosted domain names (Plesk). While we address hosting Control Panel-equipped VPS hosting, it's worth pointing out that, by default, all VPS hosting accounts provided by us come with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. The latter includes unlimited hosted domain name allowance. Hepsia is attainable at no additional license charge, so the monthly price of the virtual server web hosting plan picked by the user does not change. Last, but not least, Hepsia perhaps sports the greatest Domain Manager on the website hosting CP market.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Based VPS Hosting Plans

The hosting Control Panel GUI allows users to administer domain name, files, databases, FTP and e-mail address accounts, to keep track of web traffic and load logs and to take a glimpse at thorough stats concerning the used up and the remaining system resources. Akin with the virtualization consoles, the web hosting CPs are constructed to function under a certain OS. For instance, cPanel, which is one of the best known web hosting CPs, operates only under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is tailored by the very same company, performs exclusively under Windows. Other website hosting Control Panels such as Plesk and Hepsia support several Operating Systems. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The advantage of given web hosting Control Panels over others is that they involve different levels of control - administrator, reseller and client. Each level can access a different set of specifications controlling the levels underneath, so it is easy to set up a reseller web hosting website and begin making money by selling web hosting packages to other individuals. As customers will be informed about what percentage of the resources is consumed, but will not see the actual numbers, even a low-end private virtual web hosting server package will suffice to start a small shared web hosting web hosting company and earn capital.

The VPS Hosting: an Independent, Cut-Price Solution

A VPS hosting is a comparatively cheap hosting service, but it is powerful enough to support sites such as a busy web store or a huge company site. As its administration is simple, it is the favored selection of both inexperienced users and practiced users.
