To satisfy the need for reasonably priced, but reliable hosting services, providers introduced an intermediate website hosting solution - the VPS hosting. This is a virtual simulation of a web server that behaves precisely like a : dedicated server and is much more feature-rich than any shared hosting package. On the other hand, as many accounts are set up on the very same physical server and each individual pays for their account, the price for a VPS hosting solution is considerably lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A basic VPS hosting package is a bit more expensive than a hi-end shared website hosting plan, but its system resources exceed by far those of the shared web hosting plan.

VPS Hosting Virtualization Systems: OpenVZ and KVM

Each particular account is insulated from all other accounts on the hosting server, so each Virtual Private Server can run a different Operating System and be restarted autonomously from the remaining ones. The Virtual Servers are managed via a virtualization console where users can view all running tasks and terminate or restart them, update server-side software, watch the utilized and the free resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are just a couple of examples of software programs utilized for setting up and administering Virtual Private Server hosting plans. They have diverse requirements with regard to the central processing unit architecture, the Operating Systems they support, etc. For instance, KVM can run on machines with x86 or AMD64 processors, can be activated on a server running both Windows and Linux Operating Systems, and allows both of these Operating Systems to be activated on the concrete virtual private web servers.

Managed VPS Hosting Solutions

The virtualization panel lends the client the power to administer the VPS hosting independently from the hosting provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their technical support team to reboot a service or retrieve a backup. If the user is not competent enough, though, we include an optional upgrade that comprises Operating System and software installation and update operations, VPS hosting backups, as well as dedicated administrator support and troubleshooting operations. We also have a bunch of VPS web hosting server data center facility locations to select from: America, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Web Hosting Control Panels for VPS Hosting

The domains and the web content on the virtual server are manipulated via a website hosting CP interface, similar to a typical shared web hosting plan's. The difference is that with web hosting packages, users receive one specific website hosting CP, while with a VPS hosting plan, providers typically offer a bunch of website hosting CPs to pick from, and the more experienced users can install and use the website hosting Control Panel they wish. Some virtualization panels support installing a web hosting CP through them to render things easier for the customer. Unluckily, the majority of the website hosting CPs are not free of cost. Some of these require a monthly fee (cPanel charges $13/month, check BuycPanel.com), while others demand a licence fee (DirectAdmin). There are other website hosting CPs that restrict the number of the hosted domain names (Plesk). While we discuss web hosting Control Panel-supplied VPS hosting, it's good to state that, by default, all VPS hosting packages supplied by us ship with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It includes unmetered hosted domain quotas. Hepsia is attainable at no extra licence charge, thus the monthly cost of the virtual web server hosting package selected by the customer does not alter. Furthermore, Hepsia probably offers the best Domain Manager on the web hosting CP marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Powered VPS Hosting Plans

The web hosting CP GUI enables clients to manage domain name, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol and email accounts, to observe web traffic and load logs and to view elaborate statistics concerning the utilized and the available resources. Akin with the virtualization consoles, the web hosting Control Panels are designed to work under a particular OS. For example, cPanel, which is one of the most well known web hosting Control Panels, performs exclusively under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is devised by the very same firm, operates solely under Windows. Other web hosting Control Panels such as Plesk and Hepsia support several platforms. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The superiority of some web hosting CPs over others is that they have different control levels - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level can access a different set of features governing the levels underneath, so it is easy to create a reseller web hosting website and commence making money by reselling web hosting plans to other individuals. As clients will monitor what percentage of the resources is utilized, but will not observe the actual numbers, even a small-size virtual hosting server account will be enough to set up a small-sized shared website hosting web hosting enterprise and obtain money.

The VPS Hosting: an Independent, Low-Cost Solution

A VPS hosting is a relatively cheap hosting service, but it is advanced enough to support web sites such as a highly visited web store or a large company site. As its management is simple, it is the favored choice of both beginners and qualified customers.
