Virtual Private Servers Hosting

To fulfill the demand for economical, but reliable hosting solutions, providers presented a transitional website hosting environment - the virtual private servers. This is a virtual imitation of a web hosting server that operates quite like a : dedicated web hosting server and is much more powerful than any shared website hosting account. At the same time, as many accounts are hosted on the very same physical machine and each individual pays for their account, the price for a virtual private servers plan is markedly lower than the price for a dedicated server. A low-end virtual private servers account is slightly more high-priced than the most powerful shared web hosting plan, but its system resources surpass by far those of the shared website hosting plan.

Virtual Private Servers Virtualization Systems: OpenVZ and KVM

Each given account is isolated from the remaining accounts on the hosting server, so each Virtual Private Server can run its own Operating System and be restarted independently from the rest. The Virtual Servers are administered through a virtualization console where clients can keep track of all running tasks and stop or restart them, update server-side software applications, have a look at the consumed and the available resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are only a few examples of software systems used for setting up and administering virtual private web server accounts. They have various requirements regarding the central processing unit architecture, the Operating Systems they support, and so on. For instance, KVM can perform on machines with x86 or AMD64 microprocessors, can be installed on a web hosting server running both Windows and Linux OSs, and allows both of these Operating Systems to be activated on the actual virtual private web servers.

Managed Virtual Private Servers Solutions

The virtualization platform lends the user the power to manage the virtual private servers independently from the hosting provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their customer support staff to reboot a service or retrieve a backup. If the client is not an expert, however, we have a voluntary upgrade that includes OS and software application installation and update operations, virtual private servers backups, as well as dedicated administrator support and troubleshooting procedures. We also have a number of private virtual server server farm facility locations to select from: North America, Britain and Australia.

Web Hosting Control Panels for Virtual Private Servers

The domain names and the content on the VPS hosting server are administered via a web hosting Control Panel interface, similar to a conventional shared web hosting account's. The distinction is that with hosting accounts, users receive one concrete website hosting CP, while with a virtual private servers account, hosting providers usually provide a couple of website hosting CPs to pick from, and the more advanced clients can install and make use of the web hosting Control Panel they like. Some virtualization platforms support installing a web hosting Control Panel through them to render things simpler for the customer. Unluckily, the majority of the website hosting Control Panels are not free. Some of these require a monthly tax (cPanel requires thirteen dollars/month, have a glance at BuycPanel.com), while others ask for a license fee (DirectAdmin). There are other Control Panels that restrict the number of the hosted domains (Plesk). While we speak of web hosting CP-supplied virtual private servers, it's worthwhile to state that, by default, all virtual private servers packages delivered by us incorporate the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. The latter includes unmetered hosted domain name quotas. Hepsia is obtainable at no additional license charge, therefore the monthly cost of the virtual hosting server package chosen by the client does not fluctuate. Moreover, Hepsia probably sports the finest Domain Manager on the web hosting CP marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Powered Virtual Private Servers Packages

The web hosting Control Panel tool allows customers to handle domain name, files, databases, FTP and email address accounts, to monitor web traffic and load logs and to have a look at exhaustive statistics about the used up and the available system resources. Similar to the virtualization consoles, the website hosting CPs are designed to operate under a certain Operating System. For example, cPanel, which is one of the most widely used website hosting Control Panels, operates solely under Linux CentOS, whereas Enkompass, which is designed by the same designer, performs exclusively under Windows. Other web hosting CPs like Plesk and Hepsia support several OSs. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The advantage of some web hosting Control Panels over others is that they involve several control levels - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level has access to a separate set of functions governing the levels underneath, so it is easy to launch a reseller web hosting website and commence making money by reselling web hosting services to other people. As customers will watch what percentage of the system resources is used up, but will not be aware of the actual figures, even a low-end virtual hosting server package will suffice to launch a small shared web hosting hosting company and gain cash.

The Virtual Private Servers: an Autonomous, Moderately Priced Solution

A virtual private servers is a relatively cheap hosting service, but it is powerful enough to support online portals such as a highly visited web store or a large company web site. As its management is simple, it is the preferred pick of both newcomers and experienced clients.
