A small number of virtual servers are set up on a physical machine, sharing its resources. Each virtual private server works exactly like a dedicated web hosting server and its resources are guaranteed, including the central processing unit usage, RAM and data storage space quotas. These system resources are much higher than those provided by any shared hosting plan, so a Virtual Server is the most appropriate choice for high resource-consuming script-powered online portals with plenty of visitors, or if you desire to host a big quantity of domains in one and the same user account.

The Virtualization Dashboard of a Private Virtual Server

Each virtual private server is managed through a CP GUI, often referred to as a virtualization panel. This panel allows you to restart the whole VPS web server or different services like HTTP, MySQL, etc., to check and administer all running programs and to check the used up and the available resources. As you will get complete root access, you can also install server-side software applications that may be needed for specific script-based platforms to function, review exhaustive web traffic statistics and history of all the services running on the virtual private servers. One of the best attributes of the virtualization dashboard is that you can use it to quickly install a web hosting Control Panel on the virtual private hosting server.

The Hosting Control Panel of a Virtual Private Servers

There are many separate hosting Control Panels, but several of them are more widely used than the others - Hepsia, cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin. If you buy a virtual private servers, you can use the Control Panel that the hosting supplier is providing, or you can activate your own. This GUI will allow you to administer domain names, files, databases, File Transfer Protocol accounts, emails and everything that has to do with your web hosting user account. Managing a Virtual Server account is not different from administering a shared web hosting account, so if you have any experience with the latter, there won't be anything new for you if you buy a virtual private servers. More skillful users can access the VPS web hosting server via an SSH terminal too.

Make Money With Your Private Virtual Web Hosting Server

You can even set up reseller accounts and have other people carry out all the work on your behalf, so while you have a VPS server for your web sites, you can also earn good money by selling the system resources that you do not use.

As you obtain root-level access to the virtual private hosting server, you will be able to install any server-side software applications or libraries that your customers may require for their web sites, so you will have superiority over web hosting companies that deliver shared hosting services and cannot install such software apps.
