Virtual Private Servers Description

To meet the need for low cost, but reliable hosting services, companies initiated an intermediate website hosting platform - the virtual private servers. This is a virtual simulation of a server that acts precisely like a : dedicated hosting server and is much more feature-rich than any shared web hosting plan. At the same time, as numerous accounts are created on the same physical machine and each person pays for their account, the cost of a virtual private servers solution is much lower than the price for a dedicated server. A low-end virtual private servers package is a little more expensive than the most advanced shared web hosting account, but its resources surpass by far those of the shared plan.

Virtual Private Servers Virtualization Platforms: OpenVZ and KVM

Each given account is isolated from the rest of the accounts on the web server, so each Virtual Private Server can run its own Operating System and be restarted independently from the remaining ones. The Virtual Servers are administered through a virtualization panel where clients can have a look at all running tasks and abort or restart them, update server-side software applications, take a glimpse at the used up and the available system resources, and much more. OpenVZ, KVM, Virtual PC and VMware are only several instances of software programs utilized for setting up and handling private virtual hosting server accounts. They have various requirements about the CPU architecture, the Operating Systems they are compatible with, and so on. For example, KVM can work on physical machines with x86 or AMD64 microprocessors, can be installed on a server running both Windows and Linux Operating Systems, and permits both of these OSs to be activated on the actual virtual web hosting servers.

Managed Virtual Private Servers Services

The virtualization system offers the client the power to manage the virtual private servers autonomously from the web hosting provider, saving you the time you'd have waited for their technical support team to reboot a service or restore a backup. If the customer is not an expert, however, we have an optional upgrade that contains OS and software installation and update operations, virtual private servers backups, as well as dedicated administrator support and troubleshooting procedures. We also have several VPS web hosting server data center facility locations to pick from: the US, Great Britain and Australia.

Web Hosting Control Panels for Virtual Private Servers

The domain names and the content on the private virtual web hosting server are managed through a website hosting CP user interface, similar to a common shared web hosting plan's. The distinction is that with web hosting plans, clients get one concrete web hosting Control Panel, while with a virtual private servers account, providers usually give a number of web hosting Control Panels to select from, and the more experienced clients can install and make use of the website hosting CP they desire. Some virtualization consoles support installing a hosting Control Panel through them to make things easier for the customer. Sadly, most web hosting CPs are not free. Some of these require a monthly fee (cPanel charges thirteen dollars/month, have a glance at BuycPanel.com), while others require a licence fee (DirectAdmin). There are other website hosting Control Panels that limit the amount of the hosted domain names (Plesk). While we address website hosting Control Panel-supplied virtual private servers, it's worth mentioning that, by default, all virtual private servers packages furnished by us are provided with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It includes unlimited hosted domain name quotas. Hepsia is offered at no additional license charge, thus the monthly cost of the Virtual Private Server hosting account selected by the customer does not change. In addition, Hepsia probably includes the best Domain Manager on the web hosting Control Panel marketplace.

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Powered Virtual Private Servers Packages

The website hosting Control Panel GUI enables users to administer domain name, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol and email accounts, to view web traffic and load logs and to observe exhaustive statistics concerning the used up and the available system resources. Akin with the virtualization consoles, the website hosting Control Panels are developed to perform under a specific OS. For example, cPanel, which is one of the most widespread hosting CPs, works only under Linux CentOS, while Enkompass, which is manufactured by the same company, performs 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 given web hosting CPs over others is that they involve different control levels - administrator, reseller and client. Each level has access to a separate set of functions controlling the levels below, so it is simple to establish a reseller web hosting website and start making money by reselling web hosting packages to other individuals. As customers will be aware of what percentage of the resources is consumed, but will not be able to see the real numbers, even a small private virtual server hosting plan will be enough to open a small-size shared web hosting web hosting company and obtain capital.

The Virtual Private Servers: an Autonomous, Reasonably Priced Solution

A virtual private servers is a comparatively cheap hosting service, but it is powerful enough to support online portals such as a very famous web store or a big company web site. As its administration is simple, it is the preferred selection of both inexperienced clients and competent customers.
