Virtual Private Servers

A physical server is just as the name says, a server (physical computer) on which an Operating System, like Windows or Linux runs just as on any other computer. Using virtualisation software multiple virtual computer systems (VMs) are created by simulating hardware functionality. Virtual Private Servers allow you to store all files and data for your website on web space that has been configured to look and feel like a standalone dedicated server.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is more or less exactly what it sounds like - you rent some resources on a physical server run by a VPS company, which provides a closed environment that acts as if it was a complete physical remote server. Basically, the cloud VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting is when a web hosting provider takes one massive server and partitions it up so that it can have several servers on it, each of which can run its own operating system and can be re-booted independently.

Virtual Computing

Most of VPS providers are offering 2 types of VPS: managed and unmanaged VPS:

What can I do with a VPS?

  • Use It to Run Your Website. VPS offers more flexibility than shared hosting and yet is affordable. It allows you to install custom software. You can fully control your server by installing and removing software instead of being stuck with the one a particular hosting platform offers.

  • Host your own E-mail or DNS server. It gives you more flexibility and control. You can make e-mail accounts as you want, add accounts easily, or host multiple domains. Since you are maintaining the server, you can control what kind of spam and virus protection you are running and make sure that the software stays up-to-date.
