What Is VPS Used For?

Article Category: Computers and Technology

Author Name: Irene M Folton

There is a specific term that is used by internet hosting services to describe a virtual machine. This term is VPS - Virtual Private Server. It is designed to emphasize that a virtual machine is basically a separate computer, even though it uses software that is found on a physical or virtual machine. However, it can be customized and configured in the same manner as a separate computer and also has the same privacy options. It is even possible to use it as a server computer, if server software is being used. Another term that is often used when describing a vps is VDS. However, a VDS has individual CPU cores and also does not use shared ram. Hence, it is not the same thing.

Using virtualization processes is highly beneficial. Using vps hosting>, power and hardware costs are greatly reduced. Furthermore, businesses are able to use new and old versions of operating systems at the same time. Basically, every virtual server can run on its own operating system, and can also be rebooted on its own. It is a very common practice to use a single server while making it look like multiple servers. It has been used in both mid range and mainframe computers, mainly the IBM AS/400. It is also becoming increasingly popular for microcomputers.

Very simply put, a virtual private server allows for a middle ground between dedicated and shared web hosting services to be found. It allows a user to be independent from other costumers in terms of software, while reducing their price by not having to invest in a completely separate server. Basically, a virtual private server runs on its own operating system. Hence, each user is a super-user and is therefore able to customize the software that they need on their machine. There are some types of software that do not run in a virtual environment, however. Also, because there are usually quite a number of clients using the server at one time, the RAM, disk space and processor time tends to be limited. Very often, virtual private server hosting is now offered as an extension of other hosting services, rather than a replacement. There are at times some challenges in terms of licensing agreements. A client can either opt for unmanaged hosting (managing your own server), or unmetered hosting (without limits on data transfers). Usually, packages are sold at monthly prices. It is important to understand what these values mean however. TB on paper, but will actually be significantly less due to the multi user environment.
