What is a VPS web hosting?

VPS is an acronym for Virtual Private Server and it works like a dedicated hosting server as far as administration is concerned because you receive complete server root access with an option to restart the virtual web server remotely. The VPS web hosting shares system resources with other VPSs that are hosted on the very same physical server. This results in a very moderate price, which is several times lower than that of a dedicated server and is in fact more related to shared web hosting plans as far as prices are concerned.

Types of VPS Web Hosting

Just like any other web hosting variety, Virtual Servers may vary based on different features, but the Operating System is perchance the most significant difference. Here we have the two most essential types:

Windows VPS web hosting - a virtual private hosting server system running Windows that will allow software applications which need Windows to function properly to be installed on the private virtual server.

Linux VPS web hosting - a private virtual server web hosting system running Linux is the more famous variety that you can stumble upon on the World Wide Web as it is more affordable to set up and administer and thus it is more sought after.

VPS servers are also very popular with resellers and you can discover two modes of reselling a VPS:

VPS web hosting reseller - the reseller purchases a virtual private hosting server and starts selling shared website hosting plans that are hosted on the virtual web server. It is similar to the standard reseller hosting packages, but here the reseller receives root-level access and can update the web server's configuration.

VPS web hosting reseller - the reseller actually buys entire VPS web hosting packages to sell them to the clients rather than selling shared web hosting accounts on a single private virtual hosting server. It is considered more lucrative but also requests more introductory contributions to buy the virtual hosting server.

Just like any other web hosting variety, VPS web hosting packages often entail a LAMP solution stack. LAMP denotes Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP and introduces 3 more virtual private hosting server types:

VPS web hosting with the Apache web server software - the Apache web server is very famous and was the first to reach the 100 000 000 web site milestone back in 2009, so it is normally popular with virtual private web servers too.
