What In Fact is VPS web hosting?

Up until a couple of years ago, the sole means to obtain a functionality-rich web hosting package was to buy a dedicated server. As a result of latter-day software improvements, virtual servers have been brought in and they've swiftly become one of the most commonly used web hosting solutions as they offer superb performance at a very reasonable price. Also known as a VPS web hosting or a virtual dedicated server, this web hosting server is an excellent platform for high resource-devouring websites.

VPS Web Hosting - Is It Better Than Shared Web Hosting?

Several virtual machines are created on a physical machine, using its resources. Each virtual private server behaves precisely like a dedicated web server and its system resources are ensured, including the CPU usage, memory and data storage quotas. These system resources are much higher than those offered by any shared hosting plan, so a Virtual Server is the most apt choice for heavy resource-consuming script-powered portals with multiple visitors, or if you wish to host an immense number of domains in the same account.

The Virtualization Dashboard of a VPS Hosting Server

Each virtual private server is administered through a Control Panel user interface, often referenced as a virtualization interface. This interface allows you to reboot the entire VPS hosting server or various services like HTTP, MySQL, etc., to monitor and administer all active tasks and to monitor the consumed and the remaining system resources. As you will get root privileges, you can also install server-side applications that may be needed for given script-based platforms to function, observe exhaustive bandwidth stats and history of all the processes running on the VPS web hosting. One of the best benefits of the virtualization console is that you can use it to effortlessly activate a hosting CP on the virtual private hosting server.

The CP of a VPS Web Hosting

There are a lot of separate hosting CPs, but several of them are more commonly used than the others - Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. If you buy a VPS web hosting, you can avail of the hosting Control Panel that the hosting corporation is providing, or you can install your own. This GUI will permit you to manage domain names, files, databases, FTP accounts, email accounts and everything related to your web hosting account. Managing a Virtual Server account is not different from managing a shared web hosting account, so if you have any experience with the latter, there will be nothing new for you if you buy a VPS web hosting. More practiced clients can access the virtual web hosting server through an SSH tunnel as well.

Earn Profit With Your Virtual Server

One of the positive sides of maintaining a Virtual Server is that some web hosting CP tools include a reseller administration level, so you can create and sell hosting plans. You can even create reseller accounts and have other persons do the entire task on your behalf, so while you have a private virtual server for your websites, you can also make decent money by offering the system resources that you do not use. The reseller and web hosting CP tools can be combined with billing and customer support software platforms like WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, which permits you to create separate plans, to charge your customers directly and to provide a 24-7 client support service. As you are provided with root access to the virtual private web server, you will be able to activate any server-side software apps or libraries that your customers may demand for their websites, so you will have an advantage over web hosting vendors that deliver shared hosting services and cannot install such software apps.
