VPS WEB HOSTING

VPS web hosting or Virtual Private Server web hosting can be understood as a simulation of hardware by a host operating system that allows another operating system to run on it. Sounds confusing? Well it is not exactly so. Understand it this way. A virtual private server allows a web hosting company to host multiple "Virtual" servers on one "Physical" or host server.

To make things easier for you let us explain the whole thing a bit more. Each virtual server is isolated from the others. Access to the hardware resources such as RAM, CPU, Disk Space, Network Throughput etc. are all managed by the host server. Thus, the hardware resources of the host server can be either shared by each VPS or have guaranteed access to complete hardware resources. It would though depend on the VPS software that is being used on the host machine.

VPS plans come under the category of middle range hosting plans. If you are currently using a shared web hosting service and find that the bandwidth and disk space provided is not enough for you and you are not willing to work under the limitations imposed by using a shared web hosting plan, VPS can be the solution of your problem. VPS gains ground in the cases where you don't want to continue with your shared web hosting and you are also not willing to spend more money on web hosting. VPS is kind of a mixture of dedicated and shared webhosting.

There are many advantages of going for VPS web hosting. VPS hosting offers you root access. That in turn allows you to install and configure any program you want. You can use anything that you want-PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Zope/Plone……….. It all depends on your own choice. In addition to that you can host an unlimited number of websites through Apache's Virtual Hosts. You can also host other services like an FTP server or a mail server or any other server you may have in mind. Your server can be used for virtually anything such as backup, file storage etc.

But VPS also has disadvantages. There are some drawbacks with going for VPS web hosting. You are the one who is in complete control of the server. As such it becomes your responsibility to install, maintain, secure and update everything. If you have the know how, it is okay but if you are an amateur, you will surely need some pills to cure your headache. In addition to that you will find that even though you have been offered an entire operating system of your own to work with, you will have to share hardware resources like CPU, RAM etc. with other VPSes on the same host server. Thus, if you are looking for performance, you will be severely disappointed.

If you are in doubt whether VPS web hosting is actually for you or not, you can start with a small package and when you find that it is perfect for you, you may upgrade it. But you should always check first what the upgrade policy of your VPS web hosting company is.
