Explanation of Virtual Private Servers

A VPS is a virtual private web hosting server set up on a physical web server, which permits clients to get their own server to host web site content. It offers a perfect balance between cost and performance, so it is often the preferred option for more resource-requiring web pages that cannot be accommodated on a shared hosting server. Since a couple of clients maintain their own personal VPS hosting accounts on the same physical web server, all system resources can be availed of, which cuts the price per person. Every virtual private server comes with root-level access, which allows people to install any software programs or script libraries that may be demanded for particular apps to perform.

Strong Sides of the VPS Hosting Solution

The positive side of ordering a virtual private server is that it is entirely independent of the remaining VPS web server hosting accounts on the server. It can be restarted, updated, and can even offer a different OS than those of the rest of the private virtual web server hosting accounts on that machine. It is practically like a dedicated web hosting server, but a VPS web server costs just a fraction of the cost of a dedicated hosting server.

Restrictions of the VPS Hosting Solution

Each VPS hosting account comes with certain server storage space, traffic and CPU load restrictions. The Virtual Server firms are distributing diverse packages so each client can pick the best package for their necessities. A less advanced VPS hosting server may be used to store one single site, whereas a more powerful one would be a better environment for hosting a set of web sites and not worrying about system resources. We are among the top hosting companies and we are supplying a collection of VPS packages.

Web Hosting CP Alternatives: Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin, etc.

The content on a virtual server is administered via a website hosting Control Panel just like any other cheap shared hosting plan. This may be the web hosting CP that the hosting service supplier is supplying, or any other hosting CP that the user avails of - Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, H-Sphere, and so on. All web site files, email accounts, databases and domains can be administered through the web hosting CP, and some GUIs also include various levels of management - master reseller, reseller, user, and so on. This presents a lot of opportunities for business as the VPS hosting server proprietors can resell web hosting plans or have resellers of their own. More expert users can manage everything via a Secure Shell terminal too.

VPS Hosting - an Inexpensive and Steady Service

A powerful feature of the VPS plan are the so-called "burstable" resources. If a specific web site is causing significant server load or exceeds the allowance at some moment, more resources are allotted to this Virtual Private Server in case they are present on the physical server. This vastly helps to maintain all sites online and makes the virtual hosting server a steady and reliable web hosting environment.

A VPS Hosting - The Right Choice When You Demand More Resources

A Virtual Private Server is a superb choice for highly visited sites that demand a lot of resources. It is powerful enough but at the same time it is much more affordable than a dedicated server hosting. At Smart Host Kenya we supply a couple of different plans, upgrading from one to the other is also simple and no website transfer will be required, hence there will be no outage duration as far as the domains that are kept on the private virtual web hosting server are concerned. The management is not much different than that of a shared hosting account, but the performance is much stronger in terms of stability and speed.
