2. VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER
VPS
VPS stands for virtual private server.
This servers created by server software, which divides the server's
hard drive into different partitions and installing a separate
operating system on each of them.
Each partition works individually and result is multiple virtual
machines.
Each VPS have their own, completely independent hosting
parameters and individual operating systems.
3. CHOICES FOR SERVER
Which is Best?
Managed and Unmanaged :
Unmanaged VPS:
This is the low-cost option you don't really want to entertain unless
you have the technical know-how, experience, and time to fuss with
your own server.
Managed VPS:
Managed VPS that includes everything. Management, monitoring,
repairs, expert service and infrastructure are all covered. This makes
it an especially appealing option for those out there that maybe do
not know much about servers, those who would rather not be
bothered with it all.
4. CHOICE OF OPERATING SYSTEM
Which is best?
It's Big debate about Linux VS Window O/S, Who is best But In
case of virtual private server at according to Exerts Linux is
Best operating system, due to free of cost,easy availability,
best security and functions.
So Most of the vendors suggest CentOS, debian and Ubantu as
operating system for vps server. But as configuration point of
view CentOS 5.x 32-bit is best for user.
Windows is also provided by vendors but due to payable
software function it increase more cost of server
5. CHOICE OF VIRTUALIZATION
Which is best?
Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version
of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage
device or network resources.
There are two most popular virtualization technologies - Xen and
OpenVZ. Both provides Root access, Easy setup of network etc.
Mostly VPS vendors recommend OpenVZ due to easy platform.
6. CHOICES OF CONTROL PANEL
Which is best?
A control panel is very important for Server management so it is
very important for users to choose control panel carefully.
Leading VPS control panels are DirectAdmin and cPanel.
cPanel is VPS friendly due to its site and data backup, email, spam
and virus filtering and more of features so mostly vps service
provider offers cPanel.
Another frequently offered control panel by VPS vendors is
Webmin, free open source server/account management software.
7. CHOICE OF RAM AND HARD DISK
Which is best?
RAM and Disk space is basic part of any system so those parameters are
usually depends according to the server specifications. A Linux vps account
with 512 MB memory and 20 GB of drive space will do nicely and It's
possible to run with less than that, even as low as 256 MB memory, but
you'll have to give up email virus scanning and including control panel, so
thats why 512 MB account recommended.
