Virtual Private Servers Hosting Description

To satisfy the demand for affordable, but reliable hosting services, distributors presented a transitional web hosting environment - the virtual private servers. This is a virtual emulation of a web hosting server that acts precisely like a : dedicated hosting server and is much more powerful than any shared web hosting package. On the other hand, as lots of accounts are hosted on the very same physical hosting server and each individual pays for their account, the cost of a virtual private servers package is much lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A basic virtual private servers plan is a bit more expensive than the most feature-rich shared website hosting package, but its system resources excel by far those of the shared hosting account.

Virtual Private Servers Virtualization Panels: OpenVZ and KVM

Each particular account is insulated from the rest of the accounts on the web server, so each Virtual Private Server can run a different OS and be rebooted independently from the other ones. The Virtual Servers are managed via a virtualization panel where clients can take a look at all running processes and terminate or reboot them, update server-side software, observe the used up and the free system resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are merely a couple of instances of software programs utilized for creating and managing private virtual server hosting packages. They involve various requirements concerning the central processing unit architecture, the OSs they are compatible with, and so on. For instance, KVM can work on physical machines with x86 or AMD64 microprocessors, can be installed on a web server running both Windows and Linux Operating Systems, and allows both of these OSs to be installed on the concrete virtual private hosting servers.

Managed Virtual Private Servers Solutions

The virtualization platform lends the user the power to administer the virtual private servers autonomously from the web hosting provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their support staff to reboot a specific service or restore a backup. If the customer is not proficient, however, we provide a voluntary upgrade that includes Operating System and software application installation and update operations, virtual private servers backups, as well as dedicated administrator support and troubleshooting procedures. We also have a handful of virtual web server data center locations to pick from: the United States of America, Great Britain and Australia.

Website Hosting Control Panels for Virtual Private Servers

The domains and the content on the Virtual Private Server are handled through a website hosting CP tool, similar to a standard shared web hosting account's. The contrast is that with website hosting plans, users get one concrete website hosting Control Panel, while with a virtual private servers package, providers usually offer a handful of website hosting Control Panels to choose from, and the more skilled users can install and avail of the website hosting Control Panel they want. Certain virtualization systems support installing a website hosting CP through them to make it simpler for the customer. Unluckily, most CPs are paid. Some of these demand a monthly fee (cPanel wants $13 USD/month, have a glimpse at BuycPanel.com), while others require 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 virtual private servers, it's good to point out that, by default, all virtual private servers accounts offered by us contain the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. The latter offers unlimited hosted domain name allowance. Hepsia is offered at no extra license cost, hence the monthly cost of the VPS web hosting account chosen by the user does not fluctuate. In addition, Hepsia probably has the best Domain Manager on the website hosting Control Panel market.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Based Virtual Private Servers Packages

The web hosting CP tool enables clients to handle domain name, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol and e-mail address accounts, to view web traffic and load logs and to take a look at comprehensive statistics about the utilized and the remaining resources. Like the virtualization consoles, the web hosting CPs are conceived to run under a given OS. For example, cPanel, which is one of the most widespread website hosting CPs, performs only under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is manufactured by the very same firm, runs exclusively under Windows. Other website hosting CPs like Plesk and Hepsia are compatible with several Operating Systems. Hepsia supports the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The superiority of given web hosting CPs over others is that they involve several levels of control - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level has access to a separate set of features governing the levels below, so it is easy to build a reseller web hosting website and start making money by offering web hosting services to other persons. As customers will see what percentage of the resources is utilized, but will not observe the real numbers, even a small-size private virtual server hosting package will be enough to run a small shared web hosting website hosting enterprise and earn cash.
