What is Virtual Private Server?

By Anand

A Virtual Private Server can be treated as a small dedicated server unit which have its own set of processes and own set of system resources to run your official site or ecommerce site or a web portal in its virtually dedicated web environment. Virtual private servers are best choice for medium business site owners having low budget spending limits and in need of something special like dedicated resources to ensure smoother running of their websites.

Virtual Private Servers are also called as VDS or Virtual Dedicated Server or Master Reseller Servers. Virtual private servers are called as VDS because they works like independent server itself with own dedicated and burstable system resources and on the other hand they are also called as Master Reseller Servers as in VPS ac you can also make sub reseller for web hosting under your small vps ac which is impossible with normal reseller hosting ac.

VPS comes for Linux and Windows both environments in Linux they comes with SSH or Root Access and on windows they come with RDP or Remote Desktop Access. On Linux you have flexibility of the world famous web hosting control panel on VPS called as WHM / cPanel and on other hand in Widows VPS you have choice of Helm and Plesk Control Panels. WHM with cPanel is best one control panel enriched with tons of features if you are looking for Linux VPS and in windows Plesk works much better for you as a best choice.

Now we talk about little bit on concern of the VPS technical specifications normally VPS ac comes with 5GB to 100GB sort of storage capacity along with 400-1000 GB bandwidth per month & 128 to 1gb RAM capacity so you can easily go to google.com and can find out the vps service provider and then can compare their prices and features to get the best vps offer for you as every customer or business person is having own personal technical requirements thus nobody can recommend any standard available offer as a best one as its all depends on what you need thus and that varies person to person thus you can either consult to webmaster for the same that which sort of technical things they are in need of to make your website more better.

VPS are better for you in two cases: 1. Your current shared web hosting provider is warning you for system overloads as normally in shared hosting ac web hosting provider don't allow more than allowed system resources to be eat by your web hosting ac. 2. If you are looking for dedicated server sort of better way to host your website but your budget is smaller than 200-300 USDs a month sort of dedicated servers.

So in this manner VPS are best for you in above both cases as you get better assurance of your web hosting service quality due to dedicated system resources and you spend limited budget compare to high charges of dedicated web hosting servers.
