Definition of VPS

Up till a few years ago, the sole means to get a feature-rich website hosting package was to buy a dedicated server. As a result of latter-day software app developments, virtual web servers have been brought in and they've swiftly become one of the most commonly used web hosting platforms as they offer hi-end performance at a very reasonable rate. Also popular as a VPS or a virtual dedicated web server, this web hosting server is a great solution for resource-swallowing web portals.

A small amount of virtual servers are set up on a physical server, using its system resources. Each VPS works precisely like a dedicated hosting server and its resources are ensured, including the CPU load, memory and web storage space quotas. These resources are much higher than those offered by any shared hosting plan, so a Virtual Server is the most appropriate choice for high resource-devouring script-powered web portals with a lot of viewers, or if you want to host a large number of domains in the very same account.

The Virtualization Dashboard of a Virtual Web Server

Each VPS is handled through a Control Panel user interface, often referenced as a virtualization interface. This interface enables you to reboot the entire virtual private web server or individual services like HTTP, MySQL, and so on, to monitor and administer all active programs and to examine the used up and the free resources. As you will have full server root privileges, you can also activate server-side applications that may be required for certain script-driven platforms to perform, view detailed bandwidth statistics and history of all the processes running on the VPS. One of the greatest features of the virtualization interface is that you can use it to quickly install a CP on the VPS.

The Control Panel of a VPS

There are a lot of diverse Control Panels, but several of them are more widely used than the others - Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. If you purchase a VPS, you can utilize the hosting CP that the hosting corporation is providing, or you can install your own. This user interface will allow you to handle domain names, files, databases, FTP accounts, electronic mail accounts and everything that has to do with 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 won't be anything unfamiliar to you if you buy a VPS. More tech-savvy clients can access the virtual hosting server through SSH as well.

Gain Profit With Your Virtual Private Hosting Server

One of the positive aspects of handling a Virtual Private Hosting Server is that certain web hosting Control Panel GUIs include 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 all the work for you, so while you have a VPS web server for your websites, you can also make good revenue by selling the resources that you do not use. The reseller and hosting CP interfaces can be integrated with invoicing and client support platforms like WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, which enables you to create separate plans, to charge your clients directly and to offer a 24/7 customer support service. As you gain full root access to the virtual web server, you will be able to install any server-side applications or libraries that your customers may require for their web sites, so you will have supremacy over web hosting distributors that deliver shared hosting services and cannot install such software apps.
