VPS Hosting Explained

Up till a couple of years ago, the only way to get an advanced web hosting plan was to order a dedicated server. As a consequence of latter-day software improvements, virtual web hosting servers have been introduced and they've swiftly come to be one of the most famous web hosting solutions as they offer astonishing performance at a very reasonable price. Also known as a VPS hosting or a virtual dedicated server, this web hosting server is a perfect solution for high resource-requiring web portals.

VPS Hosting - Is It Better Than Shared Hosting?

A small number of virtual machines are created on a physical server, sharing its resources. Each virtual private server performs precisely like a dedicated server and its resources are ensured, incl. the CPU usage, RAM memory and disk storage allowances. These resources are much higher than those offered by any shared hosting package, so a Virtual Server is the most perfect option for high resource-requiring script-powered websites with multiple visitors, or if you would like to host a substantial number of domains in the same user account.

The Virtualization Panel of a Virtual Web Hosting Server

Each virtual private server is administered through a CP GUI, frequently referred to as a virtualization panel. This user interface allows you to restart the whole VPS hosting server or separate services such as HTTP, MySQL, etc., to monitor and manage all running processes and to monitor the consumed and the remaining system resources. As you will get complete root-level access, you can also install server-side applications that may be necessary for particular script-based platforms to function, explore detailed monthly bandwidth stats and history of all the processes running on the VPS hosting. One of the greatest advantages of the virtualization interface is that you can utilize it to quickly install a web hosting Control Panel on the VPS server.

The CP of a VPS Hosting

There are plenty of diverse Control Panels, but a couple of them are more commonly used than the rest - Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. If you purchase a VPS hosting, you can avail of the Control Panel that the hosting services provider is providing, or you can activate your own. This interface will allow you to administer domain names, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol accounts, mail aliases and everything that has to do with your web hosting user account. Administering a Virtual Server account is not different from managing a shared web hosting account, so if you have any experience with the latter, there won't be anything new for you if you buy a VPS hosting. More expert customers can access the VPS web hosting server via a Secure Shell session too.

Make Money With Your Private Virtual Hosting Server

One of the positive sides of ordering a Private Virtual Hosting Server is that specific Control Panel interfaces offer a reseller admin level, so you can set up and sell hosting plans. You can even set up reseller accounts and have other people carry out the whole job on your behalf, so while you have a virtual web hosting server for your sites, you can also generate good profit by offering the resources that you do not use. The reseller and web hosting Control Panel tools can be integrated with billing and customer support software like WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, which allows you to create separate packages, to bill your customers directly and to offer a 24x7x365 ticket support service. As you receive full server root access to the VPS server, you will be able to install any server-side software or libraries that your clients may require for their web sites, so you will have supremacy over hosting service providers that provide shared hosting services and cannot activate such apps.
