What is a VPS hosting?

VPS signifies Virtual Private Server and it functions like a dedicated web server as far as management is concerned because you receive full root-level access with a possibility to restart the private virtual hosting server remotely. The VPS hosting shares resources with other virtual private hosting servers that are hosted on the same physical machine. This is reflected in the remarkably reasonable price, which is several times lower than that of a dedicated server and is actually more similar to shared web hosting packages in terms of prices.

Sorts of VPS Hosting

Just as any other web hosting variety, Virtual Servers may differ on the basis of various features, but the OS is probably the most apparent difference. Here are the two most essential types:

Windows VPS hosting - a VPS server web hosting system running Windows that will allow applications which need Windows to perform smoothly to be activated on the virtual web hosting server.

Linux VPS hosting - a private virtual hosting server platform running Linux is the more widely used type that you can stumble upon on the Internet because it is more affordable to build and handle and so it is more wanted.

VPS servers are also quite sought after by resellers and you can discover 2 modes of reselling a VPS:

VPS hosting reseller - the reseller buys a virtual private web server and begins offering shared web hosting packages that are hosted on the private virtual server. It is comparable to the standard reseller hosting plans, but here the reseller gains root privileges and can update the server's configuration.

VPS hosting reseller - the reseller actually purchases whole VPS hosting plans to offer them to the clients rather than selling shared web hosting plans on one single VPS web hosting server. It is considered more lucrative but also necessitates more introductory investments to buy the VPS hosting server.

Just as any other web hosting type, VPS hosting plans frequently involve a LAMP middleware stack. LAMP denotes Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP and determines 3 more VPS web server types:

VPS hosting with the Apache web server software - the Apache web server is quite popular and was the first to surpass the one hundred million web site milestone back in 2009, so it is naturally utilized with virtual private hosting servers as well.

VPS hosting with MySQL - MySQL is also a popular database management system used with plenty of apps and therefore regularly requested on a virtual hosting server.

VPS hosting with PHP - PHP is a script language used by web developers, thus it is popular with different web hosting solutions, incl. private virtual server web hosting ones.
