Definition of VPS

Up until a couple of years ago, the sole way to obtain a functionality-rich web hosting plan was to buy a dedicated server. As a result of latter-day software improvements, virtual servers have been introduced and they've swiftly turned into one of the most commonly used web hosting solutions as they offer fabulous performance at a very affordable rate. Also famous as a VPS or a virtual dedicated web server, this web hosting server is a great platform for heavy resource-absorbing online portals.

A small amount of virtual servers are created on a physical machine, using its system resources. Each VPS works exactly like a dedicated server and its system resources are ensured, including the central processing unit usage, RAM memory and data storage space allowances. These system resources are much higher than those offered by any shared hosting plan, so a Virtual Server is the most relevant option for heavy resource-devouring script-based web portals with a lot of visitors, or if you desire to host an immense amount of domains in the very same user account.

The Virtualization Dashboard of a VPS Server

Each VPS is administered via a Control Panel interface, regularly referenced as a virtualization panel. This interface allows you to reboot the entire virtual private web hosting server or various services like HTTP, MySQL, and so on, to check and manage all active processes and to check the consumed and the free system resources. As you will get complete server root access, you can also install server-side applications that may be demanded for given script-based platforms to function, review comprehensive web traffic statistics and history of all the processes running on the VPS. One of the greatest strengths of the virtualization panel is that you can use it to quickly activate a hosting Control Panel on the virtual server.

The CP of a VPS

There are many diverse hosting Control Panels, but some of them are more famous than the others - Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. If you order a VPS, you can avail of the Control Panel that the web hosting company is providing, or you can install your own. This user interface will permit you to administer domain names, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol accounts, email aliases and everything that has to do with your web hosting 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 get a VPS. More expert clients can access the VPS web server through a Secure Shell client too.

Make Cash With Your VPS Web Hosting Server

One of the positive aspects of keeping a VPS Web Hosting Server is that specific hosting CP tools include a reseller level of administration, so you can set up and sell hosting plans. You can even create reseller accounts and have other individuals carry out the entire task on your behalf, so while you have a private virtual hosting server for your web sites, you can also make good money by selling the resources that you do not utilize. The reseller and hosting CP user interfaces can be integrated with invoicing and support software platforms such as WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, which allows you to create different plans, to charge your clients directly and to provide a 24/7 technical support service. As you are offered root-level access to the virtual server, you will be able to install any server-side software apps or libraries that your customers may require for their sites, so you will have supremacy over hosting companies that provide shared hosting services and cannot activate such apps.
