What is VPS hosting?

Up till a few years ago, the only way to obtain a feature-rich hosting plan was to order a dedicated server. As a consequence of latter-day software app developments, virtual web hosting servers have been brought in and they've quickly come to be one of the most widely used web hosting platforms as they offer fantastic performance at a very low price. Also known as a VPS or a virtual dedicated server, this hosting server is an excellent platform for resource-swallowing web sites.

Several virtual servers are created on a physical server, sharing its system resources. Each VPS performs exactly like a dedicated server and its system resources are ensured, incl. the CPU usage, RAM memory and server space allowances. These resources are much higher than those provided by any shared hosting plan, so a Virtual Server is the most appropriate option for high resource-demanding script-powered web sites with numerous visitors, or if you would like to host a substantial number of domains in the same account.

The Virtualization Backend of a Private Virtual Server

Each VPS is administered through a Control Panel tool, regularly referenced as a virtualization panel. This interface allows you to restart the entire private virtual server or individual services like HTTP, MySQL, etc., to keep an eye on and manage all running tasks and to examine the consumed and the free resources. As you will get full root privileges, you can also activate server-side software that may be demanded for given script-based platforms to operate, review detailed monthly bandwidth statistics and history of all the tasks running on the VPS. One of the greatest strengths of the virtualization console is that you can utilize it to easily activate a hosting CP on the virtual private hosting server.

The Control Panel of a VPS

There are many diverse hosting CPs, but a few of them are more commonly used than the others - Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. If you purchase a VPS, you can utilize the CP that the hosting accounts provider is offering, or you can activate your own. This user interface will permit you to administer domain names, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol accounts, electronic mail addresses 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 purchase a VPS. More expert customers can access the virtual web hosting server via an SSH console too.

Earn Cash With Your Virtual Private Hosting Server

One of the advantages of ordering a Virtual Private Hosting Server is that particular hosting CP interfaces include a reseller administrator level, so you can create and sell hosting plans. You can even create reseller accounts and have other persons carry out the entire task for you, so while you have a private virtual web server for your websites, you can also generate good cash by selling the system resources that you do not utilize. The reseller and hosting Control Panel tools can be combined with invoicing and support software like WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, which permits you to create separate plans, to charge your clients directly and to provide a 24-7-365 support service. As you get complete server root access to the Virtual Private Server, you will be able to activate any server-side apps or libraries that your customers may demand for their web sites, so you will have an edge over hosting providers that distribute shared hosting services and cannot install such software applications.
