Features Of Virtual Private servers


A virtual private server or a VPS private server can be described as the next step from shared web hosting on the way to your own dedicated server at most affordable price, with server hardware becoming increasingly powerful in terms of CPU performance and memory, virtualisation is now playing a big role in the web hosting industry. As a website owner, a virtual private server gives you many of the advantages same as a dedicated server offers, but at a fraction of the low cost, a virtual private server (VPS) offers:


  • Physical memory: RAM determines how many applications you can run on your VPS at same time, and how many users can access these applications simultaneously. That means number of user can access your website without any server slowdown (Depends on RAM memory). Naturally, the more memory, the better, always keep in mind, however, that most virtual private server plans offer memory in the 512MB to 4096MB range.
  1. Disk space: Most virtual server VPS service providers offer disk space between 5 to 200GB or more, unless you plan to host a lot of large files such as high resolution images, or media files, this space allocation should be sufficient.
  • CPU allocation: Another important factor is the way CPU time is being allocated to your VPS server, make sure you enquire about the actual CPU being used in your VPS which makes a big difference whether your node is running a latest i5 proccessor or an old P4.
  • Bandwidth: Bandwidth or traffic are lesser than dedicated servers and are on a 100mbit/s for initial connection, also some providers offering gbit/s as well, either by default or via an upgrade. Try to get as much as bandwidth allocation as possible, but remember that anything too extreme is most likely just sales tactics.
  • operating system: Mainly VPS will be running any of the software of Linux, such as CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and many more. However, service providers will offer Windows based virtual private servers as well, often come with additional licence costs.
