VPS Hosting Description

Today it has become very easy to construct an online portal on your own with all the free web page themes that are available on the Internet along with free-of-charge web platforms that are appropriate even for newcomers. So, numerous brand new web sites are being built each day, among them blogs - where the author can focus on different topics that cross his minds, and image galleries - where users can display pics and the history behind them on the web. These web sites must be hosted someplace and one reasonable web hosting alternative is a VPS.

What is a VPS?

VPS means Virtual Private Server and it behaves like a dedicated web server as far as administration is concerned as you are provided with root access with a possibility to reboot the VPS web server from a distance. The VPS shares resources with other private virtual servers that are hosted on the very same physical server. This is reflected in the quite moderate price, which is several times lower than that of a dedicated server and is actually more comparable to shared web hosting plans in terms of pricing.

Kinds of VPS

Just like any other hosting variety, Virtual Servers may vary based on different features, but the Operating System is maybe the most transparent difference. Here we have the two most important types:

Windows VPS - a VPS server web hosting system running Windows that will permit software apps which require Windows to perform unproblematically to be installed on the VPS hosting server.

Linux VPS - a private virtual server web hosting system running Linux is the more commonly used type that you can discover on the Internet as it is cheaper to establish and administer and so it is more sought after.

VPS servers are also quite popular with resellers and you can come across 2 modes of reselling a VPS:

VPS reseller - the reseller buys a virtual server and begins selling shared packages that are hosted on the Virtual Private Server. It is akin to the ordinary reseller hosting packages, but here the reseller is given root access and can update the server's configuration.

VPS reseller - the reseller actually buys entire VPS packages to sell them to the clients rather than selling shared web hosting packages on one single virtual web hosting server. It is considered more lucrative but also necessitates more initial deposits to buy the virtual web hosting server.

Just as any other web hosting type, VPS plans frequently entail a LAMP platform. LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP and introduces 3 more Virtual Private Server hosting types:

VPS with the Apache web server - the Apache web server is quite famous and was the first to surpass the one hundred million web site mark back in 2009, so it is naturally used with private virtual web servers too.

VPS with MySQL - MySQL is also a popular relational database management system used with multiple apps and thus frequently wanted on a virtual server.

VPS with PHP - PHP is a programming language designed for web development, hence it is popular with different web hosting solutions, incl. VPS web server hosting ones.
