Virtual Dedicated Hosting (VPS – Virtual Private Server) – is one of the most popular types of hosting services including websites with average attendance. The service is that the user is given a virtual server, which emulates the work of this physical server.
In fact, on one physical server it can contain an unlimited number of virtual servers, each of which belongs only to one specific user. VPS is almost entirely consistent with this dedicated server for control and access possibilities. The user has administrator rights on servers in Windows and zero serial number of the user (root ID: 0) servers with Unix-like systems, which corresponds to a virtually unlimited administrator.
The user can perform any operations on the operating system, except to reinstall it – to compile any software, devices, modify, delete and create files in the root directory, install and configure the database and any application.
Virtual dedicated servers are separate from other such servers located on the same physical medium with him. It has its own configuration, processes, controlled by the user. Virtually everything is possible, what can be done on a separate computer or a dedicated server. All software for scripting and databases, is precisely on VPS.
To control a virtual dedicated server, you must have at least basic knowledge of system administration. This is especially true of those who use VPS unmanaged – without the support of IT staff. This type of hosting may be even cheaper as shared hosting, but any problems occur will have to decide for himself.
Virtual dedicated server is suitable for websites with a fairly high attendance, but not requiring constant high memory and processor resources.
