What is VPS hosting?

Since shared hosting plans have restricted capacities and a dedicated server is too expensive for most users, particular web hosting firms deliver a third web hosting service type - the VPS. This website hosting solution provides top-class performance at a remarkably affordable price and is frequently the favored option for web pages that need lots of system resources.

What really is a VPS?

A robust physical server is sliced into several VPS that imitate the performance of a standard dedicated server. There are a lot of software apps that render this partitioning possible so that the client gets a fully operational server with full root access and ensured resources.

KVM, OpenVZ and Vserver Virtualization Software Tools.

The root access enables customers to install extra server-side software platforms that are frequently demanded for specific web apps to run properly. Each VPS is mostly administered via a virtualization backend such as KVM, OpenVZ or Vserver, which is utilized to keep an eye on and restart active processes and tasks, install a website hosting Control Panel interface and update the software on the server. More competent individuals can perform all that stuff through a Secure Shell console too.

Managed VPS Services?

Some Virtual Private Servers do not provide full root-level access to the user, but are managed by the hosting distributor. This is the so-called managed hosting solution, whereby the web hosting service provider deals with the monitoring processes and software installations. In comparison, with the more famous unmanaged hosting solution, the user is responsible for all these things, we at Clear Water Host also offer a Managed Services upgrade. In this way, customers can perform anything they desire on the VPS, but they can also count on the web hosting company for technical matters that they cannot solve themselves.

Earn Revenue With Your VPS.

The hosting disk storage space on a VPS web server is managed through a Control Panel tool like cPanel, Hepsia, Plesk or DirectAdmin. There are tens of CP interfaces on the World Wide Web, so clients can use either the one supplied by the web hosting provider, or the one that they select on the condition that very website hosting Control Panel can run on the selected server OS. From there on, everything is strictly the same as with a commonplace web hosting user account - file management, e-mail management, database administration, and so on. Specific web hosting Control Panels also have a reseller backend dashboard, which enables individuals to create and sell website hosting plans to other individuals. This is a way to earn good revenue as individuals are looking for good quality website hosting services constantly and 1000's of brand new domain names are being registered each day. Even if the VPS plan is small, the end clients will not see its real resources, but will only discern the used up and the available system resources as percentages.

The Upsides of the VPS.

Apart from being much more inexpensive, a VPS hosting server plan has one more advantage over a dedicated web server. While the resources on a physical machine are invariably limited by its hardware, a VPS web hosting server is a virtual web server with software limitations. If necessary, these limits can be surmounted with a couple of mouse clicks, and given hosting distributors also offer "burstable" resources included in their regular VPS packages. If a concrete system resource quota has been exceeded, but there are unused resources on the physical machine, they can be allocated to this concrete private virtual server, making certain that it can deal with the temporary big server load. This will maintain all web portals accommodated on the VPS up and running until either the load lowers down, or the customer upgrades the plan to a more powerful one. This flexibility makes Virtual Server a favored choice for heavy resource-swallowing web pages as it ensures their stability and online availability.

A VPS - a prudent option for your website(s).

Selecting the most appropriate web hosting plan can sometimes be tough but a VPS plan is invariably a suitable option for a start. It will supply sufficient resources to tackle the load generated by any website, even a heavy resource-requiring community website or a large e-commerce portal.
