What Does VPS Hosting Mean?

Up until several years ago, the only means to get a powerful web hosting plan was to buy a dedicated server. As a consequence of latter-day software app improvements, virtual web hosting servers have been introduced and they've quickly become one of the most commonly used web hosting solutions as they offer incredible performance at a quite reasonable rate. Also known as a VPS or a virtual dedicated server, this hosting server is an excellent solution for resource-absorbing sites.

A small number of virtual servers are created on a physical server, utilizing its resources. Each VPS behaves precisely like a dedicated hosting server and its system resources are guaranteed, incl. the central processing unit usage, memory and data storage space allowances. These system resources are much higher than those supplied by any shared hosting package, so a Virtual Server is the best choice for resource-requiring script-based web pages with a lot of viewers, or if you want to host an immense number of domains in the same account.

The Virtualization Interface of a VPS Web Server

Each VPS is handled through a Control Panel user interface, often referenced as a virtualization interface. This interface allows you to restart the whole Virtual Private Server or various services like HTTP, MySQL, etc., to keep track of and administer all running programs and to check the used up and the unused system resources. As you will get complete root access, you can also install server-side software that may be necessary for particular script-based platforms to operate, observe detailed bandwidth stats and history of all the tasks running on the VPS. One of the best strengths of the virtualization console is that you can utilize it to effortlessly activate a web hosting CP on the virtual server.

The Control Panel of a VPS

There are lots of different hosting Control Panels, but a few of them are more popular than the others - Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. If you buy a VPS, you can make use of the Control Panel that the web hosting distributor is providing, or you can install your own. This interface will allow you to administer domain names, files, databases, FTP accounts, mails and everything that has to do with your web hosting user account. Administering a Virtual Server account is not different from administering a shared website hosting account, so if you have any experience with the latter, there won't be anything new for you if you purchase a VPS. More experienced clients can access the virtual hosting server via a Secure Shell terminal as well.

Gain Revenue With Your Private Virtual Hosting Server

One of the positive sides of possessing a Private Virtual Hosting Server is that particular CP tools offer a reseller administrator level, so you can create and sell hosting plans. You can even create reseller accounts and have other people carry out the whole task on your behalf, so while you have a virtual private web server for your sites, you can also make good profit by selling the resources that you do not use. The reseller and hosting CP user interfaces can be combined with billing and customer support tools such as WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, which enables you to set up different packages, to bill your customers directly and to offer a 24-7 ticket support service. As you are given full root access to the virtual private hosting server, you will be able to activate any server-side apps or libraries that your customers may require for their websites, so you will have an advantage over hosting providers that deliver shared hosting services and cannot install such applications.
