How Does VPS Hosting Work?

Up until a couple of years ago, the sole means to obtain a powerful web hosting plan was to buy a dedicated server. As a result of recent software application developments, virtual web hosting servers have been introduced and they've quickly turned into one of the most famous web hosting solutions as they offer incredible performance at a very low price. Also known as a VPS hosting or a virtual dedicated web server, this web hosting server is a perfect platform for heavy resource-requiring websites.

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

A couple of virtual servers are set up on a physical machine, using its system resources. Each virtual private server performs precisely like a dedicated server and its system resources are guaranteed, incl. the central processing unit load, RAM memory and disk storage quotas. These resources are much higher than those delivered by any shared hosting plan, so a Virtual Server is the smartest choice for heavy resource-absorbing script-driven web pages with a lot of visitors, or if you would like to host a huge quantity of domains in one and the very same account.

The Virtualization Dashboard of a VPS Hosting Server

Each virtual private server is managed through a CP user interface, often referenced as a virtualization interface. This panel permits you to restart the whole virtual web server or different services like HTTP, MySQL, etc., to keep an eye on and manage all running programs and to check the consumed and the unused system resources. As you will have full root privileges, you can also install server-side apps that may be needed for specific script-driven platforms to operate, review thorough monthly bandwidth statistics and history of all the processes running on the VPS hosting. One of the best upsides of the virtualization panel is that you can utilize it to quickly install a web hosting Control Panel on the private virtual server.

The Web Hosting Control Panel of a VPS Hosting

There are a lot of different Control Panels, but some of them are more commonly used than the others - Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. If you purchase a VPS hosting, you can use the hosting Control Panel that the provider is offering, or you can install your own. This user interface will enable you to handle domain names, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol accounts, email box accounts and everything related to your web hosting user account. Administering a Virtual Server account is not different from managing a shared web hosting account, so if you have any experience with the latter, there won't be anything unfamiliar to you if you buy a VPS hosting. More practiced users can access the VPS via a Secure Shell client too.

Earn Money With Your Private Virtual Web Server

One of the positive sides of administering a Private Virtual Web Server is that specific Control Panel tools offer a reseller administrator level, so you can set up and sell hosting plans. You can even create reseller accounts and have other individuals do all the work for you, so while you have a VPS hosting server for your web sites, you can also generate good money by offering the system resources that you do not utilize. The reseller and hosting Control Panel GUIs can be integrated with invoicing and support software tools like WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, which enables you to create different plans, to charge your customers directly and to offer a 24x7x365 support service. As you are granted complete root access to the VPS web server, you will be able to install any server-side applications or libraries that your clients may need for their websites, so you will have superiority over hosting companies that offer shared hosting services and cannot activate such applications.
