VPS/VDS hosting: main features
This is a popular service today
The emergence of VPS/VDS can be closely associated with the active development of hosting services and the spread of the network. Initially, for hosting Internet resources, the priority was on premises servers that worked in offices or at home. That is, we are talking about physical hosting. Afterwards, virtual hosting began to actively appear and be used, when one server hosted a considerable number of sites using the resources of one physical machine. Over time, another solution appeared - virtual dedicated servers VPS/VDS. They have been in considerable demand lately. What is important to know about him?
Virtual vps/vds hosting operates on the physical principle, but at the same time it actually has maximum capabilities, and also allows for significant savings. If we consider all the advantages in more detail, we can highlight the following points:
- scalability flexibility – a physical server has finite capabilities, while when using a virtual one, there is always the opportunity to free up or increase resources. The point is that the allocated one can always be brought to the desired configuration, because the priority principle is “use as much as you need.” The point is that wide opportunities are always open to the client;
- full control – you can connect to the server with administrator rights, due to which you can gain flexibility in the form of independent management and execution of certain tasks;
- independence from other users – there will be one hundred percent isolation from all users, there will not be even the slightest “pulling” of resources. No less significant is that each resource will receive a unique IP address; security – vps/vds is always the maximum level of security, it is reliable and secure;
- complete absence of restrictions – virtual hosting allows you to use resources when needed and place any number of resources, mailboxes, and databases on it.
And at the same time, using this hosting has an acceptable cost.
When is it beneficial to use this solution?
In most cases, a dedicated server is used in the following situations:
- sites with increasing traffic levels;
- large online stores, which, due to active development, lack the value of virtual hosting;
- if there is a need to host a large number of sites and databases;
- software testing and visual display of all actions.
It is also an excellent solution for supporting teamwork.
