Explanation of VPS Hosting Services

To meet the demand for economical, but reliable hosting solutions, vendors started a midway web hosting platform - the VPS hosting. This is a virtual imitation of a server that works exactly like a : dedicated hosting server and is much more advanced than any shared web hosting solution. On the other hand, as a number of accounts are hosted on the same physical web hosting server and each user pays for their account, the price for a VPS hosting account is much lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A basic VPS hosting package is a little more high-priced than the most feature-rich shared website hosting account, but its system resources surpass by far those of the shared web hosting package.

VPS Hosting Virtualization Consoles: OpenVZ and KVM

Each specific account is insulated from the remaining 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 managed via a virtualization panel where users can view all running processes and terminate or restart them, update server-side software applications, keep an eye on the utilized and the available system resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are just a few instances of virtualization panels used for creating and administering private virtual web server hosting packages. They have diverse requirements in regard to the CPU architecture, the OSs they support, etc. For instance, KVM can perform on physical machines with x86 or AMD64 microprocessors, can be activated on a hosting 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 Hosting Solutions

The virtualization platform offers the user the power to administer the VPS hosting autonomously from the provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their customer support team to restart a given service or restore a backup. If the customer is not proficient, though, we offer an optional upgrade that encompasses Operating System and software installation and update procedures, VPS hosting backups, as well as dedicated admin support and troubleshooting operations. We also have a couple of VPS web hosting server datacenter facility locations to select from: the USA, Britain and Australia.

Hosting Control Panels for VPS Hosting

The domain names and the web content on the virtual web hosting server are manipulated via a web hosting CP GUI, similar to a classic shared web hosting account's. The contrast is that with web hosting plans, customers get one concrete web hosting Control Panel, while with a VPS hosting account, web hosting providers commonly give a handful of web hosting Control Panels to choose from, and the more skillful users can install and make use of the web hosting CP they desire. Certain virtualization panels support installing a Control Panel through them to make it simpler for the customer. Unfortunately, most hosting Control Panels are not free. Some of these ask for a monthly fee (cPanel asks for $13 USD/month, check BuycPanel.com), while others ask for a license tax (DirectAdmin). There are other web hosting CPs that limit the amount of the hosted domains (Plesk). While we address website hosting Control Panel-supplied VPS hosting, it's worthwhile to mention that, by default, all VPS hosting packages supplied by us are fitted out with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The latter includes unlimited hosted domain name quotas. Hepsia comes at no additional license charge, therefore the monthly cost of the virtual hosting server plan chosen by the client does not fluctuate. Besides, Hepsia probably offers the finest Domain Manager on the website hosting CP marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Driven VPS Hosting Accounts

The hosting CP tool permits clients to handle domain name, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol and e-mail accounts, to observe bandwidth and load logs and to view exhaustive statistics regarding the consumed and the remaining resources. Like the virtualization consoles, the website hosting CPs are conceived to operate under a given OS. For example, cPanel, which is one of the most widely used web hosting CPs, functions solely under Linux CentOS, whereas Enkompass, which is tailored by the very same designer, works solely under Windows. Other web hosting Control Panels like Plesk and Hepsia support several OSs. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The superiority of certain web hosting Control Panels over others is that they have different control levels - administrator, reseller and client. Each level can access a different set of functionalities controlling the levels underneath, so it is simple to build a reseller web hosting website and commence making money by offering web hosting packages to other persons. As customers will be informed about what amount of the system resources is used up, but will not be able to view the actual numbers, even a small-size private virtual server hosting package will be enough to open a small-sized shared web hosting web hosting enterprise and receive money.

The VPS Hosting: an Independent, Reasonably Priced Solution

A VPS hosting is a comparatively cheap hosting service, but it is advanced enough to support web pages such as a very popular web store or a big corporate portal. As its management is simple, it is the favored choice of both novices and practiced users.
