What Indeed are VPSs?

There is no wonder that so many individuals have started creating their own professional-looking sites availing of cost-free web apps that are easy enough to use even for novices. And due to all the charge-free web page templates that are available on the Internet, quite many sites come into existence, which demand a web hosting service such as the VPS hosting one.

What is VPS Hosting?

Hosting is a solution, which allows you to upload your website on a server so as to take it online and a VPS is a Virtual Private Server - it performs like a dedicated server, supplying root-level access to the user, but it shares the resources of the physical machine with other VPS hosting accounts. So, VPS hosting is a web hosting service offered on a VPS server, which is getting more and more popular because of the flexibility you have in terms of server setup. VPS are frequently used by website developers and programmers as a testing ground where they can observe how their product would perform under diverse conditions.

VPS Hosting Varieties

If we begin to distinguish at the core level, we have to start with the separate Operating Systems, the most prominent types being:

Linux VPS hosting - it is normally preferred thanks to the lower setup and maintenance costs and the ability to modify the Operating System as per the requirements of the customers on the basis of the capabilities of the administrators, since Linux is open-source.

Windows VPS hosting - being more expensive makes Windows a final resort when you wish to host apps that cannot operate on a different Operating System and there are many of them, so the Windows VPS server hosting platform is quite common too.

Probably the most famous VPS configuration is LAMP, which means Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP, and it determines several more VPS server hosting varieties apart from Linux virtual web server hosting:

VPS hosting with Apache - each hosting service demands a server that will serve the webpages to the browsers and Apache is one of the most famous servers; in fact, back in 2009, it was the first to hit the 100 million website mark.

VPS hosting with MySQL - there are various varieties of database management systems that can be used on a virtual web hosting server but MySQL is by all means one of the most popular ones utilized in web applications. It is preferred thanks to its plain structure and quick speed.

VPS hosting with PHP - PHP is a multiple-purpose programming language used in the development of different websites and apps, so it is only logical that it is popular with most web hosting solutions, including virtual hosting servers.

Other VPS hosting varieties that can be identified are: VPS hosting with PostgreSQL - a more complex and fully featured database management software system variety; VPS server web hosting with CGI and virtual server web hosting with Perl - these 2 script languages are also regularly used for web apps and websites and usually they are utilized in combination with a Linux Operating System.
