VPS Hosting Defined

To meet the need for low cost, but reliable hosting services, providers started a transitional hosting solution - the VPS hosting. This is a virtual imitation of a web hosting server that behaves just like a : dedicated hosting server and is much more powerful than any shared website hosting solution. On the other hand, as multiple accounts are created on the very same physical hosting server and each client pays for their account, the price for a VPS hosting package is considerably lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A small-scale VPS hosting package is a little more expensive than the most powerful shared website hosting account, but its system resources surpass by far those of the shared website hosting account.

VPS Hosting Virtualization Panels: OpenVZ and KVM

Each separate account is isolated from the rest of the accounts on the server, so each Virtual Private Server can run a separate OS and be rebooted autonomously from the other ones. The Virtual Servers are managed through a virtualization panel where users can have a look at all running tasks and terminate or reboot them, update server-side software applications, monitor the consumed and the remaining resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are just a few examples of virtualization consoles utilized for setting up and handling VPS hosting server packages. They involve diverse requirements with respect to the central processing unit architecture, the Operating Systems they are compatible with, etc. For example, KVM can operate 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 installed on the actual VPS hosting servers.

Managed VPS Hosting Services

The virtualization panel offers the customer the power to manage the VPS hosting independently from the hosting provider, sparing you the time you'd have waited for their support team to restart a particular service or retrieve a backup. If the client is not experienced, though, we include an optional upgrade that encompasses Operating System and software installation and update procedures, VPS hosting backups, as well as dedicated administrator support and troubleshooting operations. We also have a handful of virtual private hosting server server farm locations to select from: North America, Britain and Australia.

Web Hosting CPs for VPS Hosting

The domain names and the content on the virtual private web hosting server are managed through a website hosting Control Panel interface, similar to a standard shared web hosting account's. The contrast is that with web hosting accounts, clients obtain one specific web hosting CP, while with a VPS hosting package, web hosting providers typically provide a couple of web hosting Control Panels to select from, and the more tech-savvy customers can install and use the website hosting CP they desire. Certain virtualization panels support installing a web hosting CP through them to make it easier for the customer. Unfortunately, most web hosting CPs are not cost-free. Some of those demand a monthly fee (cPanel demands 13 USD/month, have a glance at BuycPanel.com), while others request a licence tax (DirectAdmin). There are other Control Panels that limit the amount of the hosted domain names (Plesk). While we speak of web hosting CP-equipped VPS hosting, it's worth mentioning that, by default, all VPS hosting accounts delivered by us incorporate the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It offers unlimited hosted domain quotas. Hepsia is available at no extra licence charge, so the monthly price of the VPS hosting package chosen by the user does not fluctuate. Last, but not least, Hepsia perhaps sports the finest Domain Manager on the website hosting Control Panel marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Powered VPS Hosting Plans

The Control Panel tool allows users to manage domain name, files, databases, FTP and email address accounts, to monitor bandwidth and load logs and to take a look at comprehensive stats regarding the consumed and the available system resources. Like the virtualization consoles, the web hosting Control Panels are devised to operate under a certain Operating System. For instance, cPanel, which is one of the best known website hosting CPs, runs only under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is created by the same company, operates only under Windows. Other web hosting CPs like Plesk and Hepsia support several OSs. Hepsia supports the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The superiority of some web hosting Control Panels over others is that they involve several control levels - administrator, reseller and client. Each level has access to a separate set of functionalities controlling the levels below, so it is easy to set up a reseller web hosting website and start making money by selling web hosting packages to other persons. As customers will be informed about what percentage of the system resources is used up, but will not be able to view the real figures, even a low-end Virtual Private Server plan will suffice to run a small-size shared web hosting web hosting firm and collect money.

The VPS Hosting: an Independent, Economical Solution

A VPS hosting is a relatively cheap hosting service, but it is powerful enough to support web portals such as a very famous online store or a big corporate website. As its administration is simple, it is the favored selection of both rookies and trained customers.
