Up till a couple of years ago, the only means to get an advanced website hosting package was to purchase a dedicated server. As a consequence of recent software app developments, virtual web servers have been introduced and they've swiftly come to be one of the most famous web hosting platforms as they offer top performance at a quite moderate rate. Also popular as a VPS or a virtual dedicated server, this hosting server is a great platform for resource-requiring sites.

VPS Hosting - Is It Better Than Shared Hosting?

A couple of virtual servers are set up on a physical server, using its system resources. Each VPS behaves exactly like a dedicated hosting server and its resources are ensured, including the central processing unit load, RAM memory and disk space quotas. These system resources are much higher than those offered by any shared hosting package, so a Virtual Server is the most perfect choice for busy script-based web portals with many visitors, or if you would like to host a big amount of domains in the very same account.

The Virtualization Backend of a VPS Web Server

Each VPS is administered through a Control Panel tool, frequently referenced as a virtualization dashboard. This user interface enables you to reboot the whole virtual web hosting server or separate services like HTTP, MySQL, etc., to monitor and manage all active tasks and to keep track of the consumed and the free system resources. As you will obtain root-level access, you can also install server-side software applications that may be needed for some script-based platforms to operate, view exhaustive web traffic stats and history of all the services running on the VPS. One of the best characteristics of the virtualization dashboard is that you can use it to quickly install a web hosting CP on the VPS hosting server.

The Hosting Control Panel of a VPS

There are plenty of different CPs, but some of them are more commonly used than the others - Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. If you order a VPS, you can utilize the web hosting Control Panel that the web hosting packages provider is offering, or you can install your own. This user interface will allow you to administer domain names, files, databases, FTP accounts, mail addresses and everything related to your web hosting user account. Managing a Virtual Server account is not different from administering a shared website 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 practiced clients can access the VPS server via an SSH connection too.

Gain Money With Your VPS Hosting Server

One of the positive aspects of purchasing a VPS Hosting Server is that certain CP GUIs 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 do all the work for you, so while you have a virtual server for your websites, you can also generate good profit by offering the resources that you do not utilize. The reseller and web hosting Control Panel tools can be integrated with invoicing and client support software platforms such as WHMCS, AWBS or ClientExec, which enables you to create separate packages, to charge your clients directly and to provide a 24-7 ticket support service. As you are provided with full server root access to the virtual web hosting server, you will be able to activate any server-side software or libraries that your clients may demand for their websites, so you will have an advantage over hosting suppliers that deliver shared hosting services and cannot install such applications.
