What is VPS Web Hosting and Why Would I Need It?

 

VPS hosting stands for Virtual Private Server, it provides control and flexibility in a shared host. These unique hosts use one server and section it out into virtual servers. Each virtual server has the ability to run its own operating system and applications and they can reboot independently from the entire server, this meaning that one virtual server can reboot and the second virtual server will not be affected. So you will have administrative access to the users, files and system configuration. It will have its own IP address, port numbers and tables. You will be able to host several domains with one virtual private server.

A virtual private server is for an advanced web developer that requires root access to the server. They will have full control, customization, configuration and they can run what ever software they chose. This is an alternative to dedicated hosting and is more cost effective. So if you have the experience necessary and you need the space and control of your web site this would be a good way to go.

You should look for a company that does offer support, the company should help with at least the following items:

-Creating a client account

-Creating your domain

-Installing the applications

-Installing the Network Solutions

-Password changing issues

Online support would be fine for this, you seem to get a better response form an email tech then you do over the phone with someone that is using a wizard to try and help you. You also ask a lot of the same questions you would as if you were buying any other host. What are the charges if you go over your bandwidth amount? What are the set up fees? All of those important questions need to be asked before you buy the host.
