To fulfill the need for low cost, but reliable hosting services, companies commenced a midway hosting environment - the VPS. This is a virtual emulation of a server that behaves exactly like a : dedicated web server and is much more advanced than any shared website hosting package. On the other hand, as several accounts are set up on the same physical web server and each person pays for their account, the price for a VPS package is much lower than the cost of a dedicated server. A low-end VPS plan is slightly more high-priced than the most powerful shared website hosting plan, but its system resources surpass by far those of the shared website hosting package.

Each single account is insulated from the remaining accounts on the server, so each Virtual Private Server can run a separate Operating System and be rebooted autonomously from the other ones. The Virtual Servers are administered through a virtualization console where users can take a look at all running tasks and terminate or reboot them, update server-side software, have a look at the utilized and the free resources, and much more. OpenVZ, Virtuozzo, Virtual PC and VMware are merely a couple of examples of virtualization platforms utilized for setting up and handling private virtual server hosting accounts. They have diverse requirements about the CPU architecture, the OSs they are compatible with, and so on. For instance, Virtuozzo can work on machines with x86 or AMD64 processors, can be installed on a web hosting server running both Windows and Linux Operating Systems, and permits both of these Operating Systems to be installed on the concrete private virtual hosting servers.

Managed VPS Services

The virtualization platform lends the client the power to manage the VPS autonomously from the hosting provider, sparing you the time you'd have waited for their client support staff to restart a service or restore a backup. If the user is not competent enough, however, we have an optional upgrade that contains OS and software application installation and update operations, VPS backups, as well as dedicated admin support and troubleshooting operations. We also have a number of VPS server datacenter locations to select from: the United States, Great Britain and Australia.

Control Panels for VPS

The domain names and the web content on the VPS server are tackled through a website hosting CP GUI, similar to a conventional shared web hosting plan's. The contrast is that with hosting accounts, customers get one concrete web hosting Control Panel, while with a VPS account, web hosting providers traditionally provide a number of web hosting CPs to select from, and the more expert customers can install and make use of the web hosting CP they wish. Certain virtualization systems support installing a website hosting Control Panel through them to render it simpler for the customer. Sadly, the majority of the website hosting CPs are not cost-free. Some of those demand a monthly fee (cPanel demands 13 dollars/month, have a glimpse at http://www.buycpanel.com), while others ask for a license fee (DirectAdmin). There are other web hosting CPs that limit the amount of the hosted domain names (Plesk). While we address web hosting CP-supplied VPS, it's worthwhile to state that, by default, all VPS plans distributed by us are furnished with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. The latter includes unmetered hosted domain allowance. Hepsia is available at no extra licence cost, hence the monthly cost of the private virtual hosting server account picked by the client does not fluctuate. In addition, Hepsia probably includes the greatest Domain Manager on the CP marketplace!

CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Driven VPS Plans

The Control Panel GUI permits users to manage domain name, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol and e-mail accounts, to keep track of web traffic and load logs and to take a look at detailed statistics regarding the consumed and the remaining resources. Comparable with the virtualization consoles, the hosting Control Panels are intended to run under a certain OS. For instance, cPanel, which is one of the most well known hosting Control Panels, works exclusively under Linux CentOS, whereas Enkompass, which is conceived by the very same corporation, works exclusively under Windows. Other hosting CPs such as Plesk and Hepsia support several Operating Systems. Hepsia is compatible with the CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. The advantage of some web hosting Control Panels over others is that they have different levels of control - administrator, reseller and customer. Each level has access to a separate set of features controlling the levels beneath, so it is easy to create a reseller web hosting website and start making money by offering web hosting accounts to other persons. As clients will observe what percentage of the system resources is consumed, but will not see the real figures, even a small virtual web server plan will suffice to launch a small shared hosting hosting corporation and earn cash.

The VPS: an Autonomous, Inexpensively Priced Solution

A VPS is a relatively cheap hosting service, but it is advanced enough to support sites such as a highly visited online store or a large corporate website. As its administration is simple, it is the favored pick of both newcomers and qualified clients.

Good quality Web hosting services must guarantee that your site will be reachable online 24/7/365 from anywhere in the world, that they will deliver your contents quickly and to every visitor.

After spending some time surfing the Internet, you probably started wishing to have a web site of your own, be it an online diary, a discussion board, an image gallery or a web store. You may have already made up your mind about it and now you are learning how to do it.

The first step is to select a Web hosting provider and a hosting plan. There are plenty of companies able to assist you. So many that it may seem daunting and difficult to choose one. But if you establish from the very beginning the key features that you expect from your website, the task ahead will be much easier:

1. What is the purpose for your site? Is it a personal blog? Your business corporate site? An online store?
2. How much traffic do you expect? What kind of content will your site serve to your visitors? How will they engage with your site?
3. Will you build it yourself or will you get help from a professional?

Now you can choose what kind of plan you need! If your site is going to be a personal or business site and you will build it yourself, a 'cloud (shared) hosting' plan is probably more than enough for you. Cloud or shared hosting means that your site will be hosted on a server which also host many other sites from different clients. This is okay! These servers are what is commonly refered to as 'The Cloud', therefore, they are prepared to manage that many clients! And due to the pooling of resources among several servers you will benefit from plenty of disk space among other features!

On the other hand, if your website will be a big corporate site or it will stream video or engage users actively and keep them connected for long periods of time such as is the case for a social media site then you will require semi-dedicated or dedicated servers.

In either scenario you will benefit from also having access to an email server customised for handling your own domain name. And that domain name will require to be managed through a DNS server to effectively direct your visitors to the right machine serving your contents.

All of the above would be the minimum services any hosting company should be able to provide you. At 'Online Presence Solutions' we provide them but we also believe you deserve more!
