Description of VPS Hosting Services

To meet the need for affordably priced, but reliable hosting solutions, suppliers started a midway website hosting solution - the VPS hosting. This is a virtual imitation of a web server that works exactly like a : dedicated web server and is much more feature-rich than any shared web hosting account. At the same time, as many accounts are hosted on the very same physical web hosting server and each individual pays for their account, the cost of a VPS hosting plan is markedly lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A basic VPS hosting plan is slightly more high-priced than a hi-end shared website hosting plan, but its system resources surpass decidedly those of the shared web hosting account.

VPS Hosting Virtualization Platforms: OpenVZ and KVM

Each individual account is isolated from all other accounts on the web server, so each Virtual Private Server can run a different Operating System and be restarted independently from the rest. The Virtual Servers are administered via a virtualization panel where customers can keep track of all running tasks and terminate or reboot them, update server-side applications, take a look at the consumed and the free resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are just several examples of software applications utilized for setting up and handling VPS web server plans. They have different requirements concerning the central processing unit architecture, the OSs they support, and so on. For example, KVM can work on machines with x86 or AMD64 microprocessors, can be installed on a web server running both Windows and Linux OSs, and permits both of these Operating Systems to be activated on the concrete virtual private hosting servers.

Managed VPS Hosting Services

The virtualization panel offers the client the freedom to manage the VPS hosting independently from the hosting provider, sparing you the time you'd have waited for their customer support team to restart a service or restore a backup. If the customer is not tech-savvy, though, we offer a voluntary upgrade that comprises OS and software application installation and update procedures, VPS hosting backups, as well as dedicated admin support and troubleshooting operations. We also have a handful of VPS hosting server data center locations to select from: the USA, Britain and Australia.

Hosting CPs for VPS Hosting

The domain names and the web content on the private virtual server are handled through a website hosting CP GUI, similar to a classic shared web hosting account's. The difference is that with hosting packages, clients obtain one concrete Control Panel, while with a VPS hosting package, web hosting providers usually present a handful of web hosting CPs to select from, and the more trained users can install and make use of the website hosting CP they wish. Some virtualization consoles support installing a website hosting Control Panel through them to render things simpler for the user. Sadly, most hosting Control Panels are not free of charge. Some of these ask for a monthly fee (cPanel demands $13/month, take a peek at BuycPanel.com), while others request a license tax (DirectAdmin). There are other web hosting CPs that restrict the amount of the hosted domain names (Plesk). While we talk about web hosting Control Panel-equipped VPS hosting, it's worth mentioning that, by default, all VPS hosting accounts offered by us arrive with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It includes unmetered hosted domain name allowance. Hepsia is attainable at no additional licence cost, so the monthly cost of the virtual private web hosting server account chosen by the client does not fluctuate. Furthermore, Hepsia perhaps has the greatest Domain Manager on the website hosting Control Panel market.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Driven VPS Hosting Plans

The web hosting CP tool enables users to manage domain name, files, databases, FTP and electronic mail accounts, to view web traffic and load logs and to have a glimpse at detailed stats regarding the utilized and the left system resources. Similar to the virtualization panels, the website hosting Control Panels are developed to run under a specific OS. For example, cPanel, which is one of the best known web hosting CPs, works only under Linux CentOS, whereas Enkompass, which is constructed by the very same firm, functions only under Windows. Other website hosting CPs like Plesk and Hepsia are compatible with several Operating Systems. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The superiority of certain web hosting Control Panels over others is that they include several levels of control - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level has access to a different set of specifications controlling the levels beneath, so it is easy to build a reseller web hosting website and start making money by offering web hosting services to other people. As clients will view what percentage of the system resources is consumed, but will not see the real numbers, even a small virtual private web server hosting account will suffice to set up a small shared web hosting hosting firm and receive cash.

The VPS Hosting: an Autonomous, Reasonably Priced Solution

A VPS hosting is a relatively cheap hosting service, but it is powerful enough to support online portals such as a very popular web store or a large corporate portal. As its administration is simple, it is the favored choice of both rookies and accomplished users.
