Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are highly sought after for the outstanding performance that these web servers deliver by ensuring the availability of dedicated server resources, at prices which are extremely affordable, especially in comparison with the exorbitant prices of availing dedicated servers. If your hosting requirements call for a dedicated server but you either do not have the budget for it or you are not willing to invest in a dedicated server, then opting for a Virtual Private Server is your next best bet. Let us elaborate on a VPS, its benefits and its types and acquaint you with the benefits of availing a managed VPS, specifically from the globally preferred and trusted web hosting service provider, HTS Hosting.
The Functioning of VPS
A Virtual Private Server provides a cheaper alternative to a dedicated server, which is one of the prime reasons for the rise in its popularity among those website owners that are seeking dedicated server resources for their hosted site’s peak performance, at prices which are within their budget. How is a VPS able to cater to this requirement? How is it able to provide dedicated server resources to the hosted sites at budget-friendly prices? The answer to all these questions, is in the technology that a VPS uses, which is known as Virtualization Technology. Before we talk at length about this technology and how it is utilized by a VPS, let us know what a VPS is essentially.
A Virtual Private Server is a web server that is used for hosting purposes and hosts the files of multiple sites on a single physical server. Now, doesn’t that make it a shared server? Why is it being referred to as a VPS? Hold your horses!
A VPS differs from a shared server, as the former is able to provide dedicated server resources to each of the multiple hosted sites on the same physical server, whereas the latter only provides limited server resources to each of the hosted sites. A Virtual Private Server succeeds in creating a dedicated server environment on a server that is shared by multiple sites and this is made possible through Virtualization Technology. Curious to know how? That is explained next.
VPS, which can be either Managed VPS or Self-managed VPS, uses Virtualization Technology to virtually partition a single physical server into multiple, isolated, virtual, private servers; wherein each of these servers is fully-equipped to function as an independent web server and can install its own operating system and software. In this way, a VPS is able to not only function as a truly private server but also provides dedicated servers resources to each of the hosted sites on a shared web server for enhancing the hosted sites’ speed, security and performance.
Managed VPS and Self-managed VPS
Virtual Private Servers can be availed as either Managed VPS or as Self-managed VPS, from professional website hosting companies, such as HTS Hosting, which is frequently referred to as the best Website Hosting Company and as the best Cloud Hosting Company, owning to the top-tier hosting services that it has been providing to its global customers at the most affordable prices. Both of these two types of web servers provide dedicated server resources to the multiple sites that are hosted on them and function using Virtualization Technology. Then how do these differ? The answer to this can be inferred from the names by which these are referred to, Managed and Self-managed VPS. A Managed VPS, as the name itself indicates, is managed by the expert technical team of the service provider; whereas a Self-managed VPS is managed by the user himself without any aid from the service provider.
Clearly, availing a Managed VPS proves to be more beneficial, especially for those that lack the technical knowledge that is required for properly managing and ensuring the perfect maintenance of a VPS. In a Managed VPS, the service provider not only provides the Virtual Private Server but also ensures its efficient management and maintenance by employing a team of experts that specialize in matters pertaining to the management and security of Virtual Private Servers. Availing this type of a server, saves your time, efforts and monetary investment that are needed for the management and maintenance of a VPS. You, as the user of a Managed VPS, can totally rely on your service provider for taking proper care of your server and for keeping it fully functional to deliver safe, peak performance.
A Self-managed VPS is availed by those that are either well versed in server management and maintenance or have a team of experts to help them with these matters. This type of server is provided by the service provider but is managed and maintained by the user himself/herself. It is usually priced lower than a Managed VPS which is meant for ensuring the convenience of the user.
Regardless of the type of VPS, Managed VPS and Self-managed VPS, both provide the same benefits with regard to their functioning. The major benefit of using a Virtual Private Server has to do with getting dedicated server resources for top-class site performance. Enhanced site speed, augmented site security and seamless availability of hosted sites can be attained by using VPS. Virtual Private Servers deliver stable and reliable site performance. Moreover, a VPS enables the user to install his/her own software and operating system in this totally private, virtual server. Such server customization is made possible in the shared server environment of a VPS by utilizing Virtualization Technology, wherein the files of different sites remain separated from each other at the OS level.
