How Virtual Private Servers Operate

Up till a few years ago, the sole way to obtain a functionality-rich web hosting package was to order a dedicated server. As a result of recent software application developments, virtual hosting servers have been brought in and they've quickly turned into one of the most widely used web hosting solutions as they offer astonishing performance at a quite modest price. Also popular as a VPS hosting or a virtual dedicated web server, this web hosting server is the optimal platform for content-heavy sites.

A small number of virtual machines are set up on a physical machine, utilizing its resources. Each virtual private server works exactly like a dedicated hosting server and its system resources are ensured, incl. the CPU usage, memory and hard disk storage allowances. These system resources are much higher than those supplied by any shared hosting plan, so a Virtual Server is the most commendable choice for heavy resource-demanding script-driven online portals with lots of viewers, or if you would like to host a substantial amount of domains in one and the very same user account.

The Virtualization Backend of a VPS Web Hosting Server

Each virtual private server is managed through a Control Panel GUI, often referred to as a virtualization interface. This GUI allows you to restart the entire Virtual Private Server or separate services such as HTTP, MySQL, etc., to keep an eye on and administer all running programs and to inspect the consumed and the remaining system resources. As you will have complete server root access, you can also activate server-side applications that may be demanded for certain script-driven platforms to operate, examine elaborate monthly bandwidth stats and history of all the tasks running on the VPS hosting. One of the greatest characteristics of the virtualization backend is that you can utilize it to easily activate a hosting CP on the VPS hosting server.

The CP of a VPS Hosting

There are plenty of diverse CPs, 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 use the hosting CP that the hosting plans provider is providing, or you can activate your own. This user interface will enable you to handle domain names, files, databases, FTP accounts, e-mail boxes and everything related to your web hosting account. Managing a Virtual Server account is not different from administering a shared web hosting account, so if you have any experience with the latter, there won't be anything new for you if you purchase a VPS hosting. More tech-savvy customers can access the virtual web server via an SSH connection too.

Gain Cash With Your Virtual Private Hosting Server

One of the positive sides of managing a Virtual Private Hosting Server is that given hosting Control Panel interfaces offer a reseller administrator level, so you can set up and sell hosting plans. You can even set up reseller accounts and have other people do the entire task for you, so while you have a Virtual Private Server for your sites, you can also gain decent money by selling the system resources that you do not utilize. The reseller and hosting Control Panel interfaces can be integrated with invoicing and client support tools like WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, which allows you to create separate plans, to bill your customers directly and to provide a 24x7x365 customer support service. As you get full root access to the Virtual Private Server, you will be able to install any server-side software applications or libraries that your customers may require for their sites, so you will have an advantage over hosting firms that distribute shared hosting services and cannot install such software.
