What is VPS Hosting?

By Yue Wang


Many people are informed that Linux VPS hosting is likely to be the choice for them but if you are new to hosting, it would be natural to question or ponder this. It is fair to say that if you have little experience of the mechanics of VPS hosting all information is going to be welcome but finding out a little more about the whole thing works is going to be great for everyone.

One of the best things about the Linux VPS hosting solution is that is provides middle ground between dedicated hosting and shared hosting. The shared hosting option is the most affordable but it is also the most basic option and many businesses and users find it is not strong enough to cope with their needs or demands. Conversely, the dedicated solution may be too expensive or complicated for some users so the fact there is a third option is great news.

If you are a business, you will know that you need elements for your security and custom firewalls or dedicated IP addresses can have a huge impact on your overall service levels. As you are able to customize your use of VPS hosting, you should find that you can configure it to be set up to provide you with everything that you need.

The mechanics of how does VPS hosting works is very simple and the Virtual Private Server (VPS) should be considered a sectioned off space on an actual server. This server is separated into a number of different sections with each section hosting its own operating systems, RAM, bandwidth and even disk space. This means that the host can provide a great number of VPS packages from one actual server.

A Linux VPOS hosting client, although having slightly different functions from a Windows Server VPS hosting client should find that they are able to set up their server space exactly what they want. The fact that they can do so for much cheaper than they could on a dedicated host should provide the incentive.
