If you have never managed a server in any shape or form before then a fully managed VPS server from bodHost will offer you with all the features that are necessary to support you and your Windows VPS Hosting and Linux VPS Hosting. Similarly to a dedicated server, a VPS server can provide a dedicated hosting environment involving guaranteed resources that you can customize to meet the requirements of your business; quite often there will be a need for third-party applications and services to support larger websites that have been developed in-house and more often than not these won’t be available within the context of a shared hosting environment, which is why VPS hosting is so popular because it offers a dedicated environment on a budget.

Bodhost’s support team can provide you with a number of services that can be used to maximize what your VPS server can offer you, these include:

• We can perform a full evaluation of the level of security implemented on your Windows or Linux VPS and can take the necessary steps to improve security if the existing measures don’t meet you or your customer’s expectations
• Optimizing applications is something else that we can perform for you and in our opinion this is one of the most important tasks that you can carry out on a VPS server – this will make for the more effective use of server resources, resulting in better performance for your VPS server.

As well as receiving full support from Bod, you can also manage your VPS server yourself if you wish to and in any case you will still retain sole control of your web hosting environment. All of our VPS packages are based on the Virtuozzo platform, seen as being one of the most stable virtualization platforms in the web hosting industry; with Virtuozzo you can monitor the resources of your VPS server and control the state of it, allowing you to start, stop and reboot the VPS as you wish – the Virtuozzo Power Panel is a web-based control panel, therefore meaning that you can control your VPS from any computer that has a web browser installed. It should be noted that traditional root access methods such as SSH for Linux and Remote Desktop for Windows are also provided as standard.

If you are looking for affordable and reliable VPS servers then Bodhost offers a wide range of Linux and Windows based VMs hosted out of our US data center. Our 24×7 support team is trained to the highest level possible and can assist you with any issues or queries that you may have regarding your VPS.

There is a general question asked by all, who are new in online business. The question is that What is the difference between a VPS hosting and a semi-dedicated server? Are these servers one and the same?

Not really. Yes, both have been highly preferable as the best stopover between shared hosting and dedicated hosting. In person, I will go for cheap VPS hosting. I may not own the physical server here but I definitely have control over its virtual pieces. In terms of security too, cheap VPS hosting assures me more. In a semi-dedicated server, you continue to share the physical server with another websites, only this time you share it with just a few. OK, let me describe the variation between the servers by understanding what those are.

Cheap VPS hosting :

A physical server is distributed into logical partitions and every division becomes a cheap VPS hosting. Now, one virtual server does not interfere with another. You get full control on them. You can configure them according to your own specifications. You do not have to share your virtual server with another websites.
Obviously a VPS is a great option, if you want total administrative access over your virtual server. That will need the experience to setup, maintain, secure and optimize your server. Any licenses like cPanel, Direct Admin, etc will come at an extra price. Server management may come at an extra cost etc.
There are mainly two types of VPS in the market. First one is Linux VPS and second one is windows VPS. Linux VPS is cost effective than windows VPS.

Semi-Dedicated Server:

Unlike a dedicated server, you don’t own the semi-dedicated server. The hosting company owns it. This server run in a proper manner like a shared server in the sense that you share it with another websites. But, this time your share is better as you share the server with a handful of websites. You get root access and control over a part of the server.

For some, a semi dedicated server could be a better option with access to a larger share of the resources. But you also have the option of getting multiple virtual servers if you require more resources. Your requirements and budget options will be the deciding factors in choosing between a VPS and a semi dedicated server.

Web hosting services in the industry range from shared hosting packages to dedicated hosting packages in response to the user requirement. While shared hosting are the lowest on resources and costs, dedicated hosting packages are the highest priced catering to custom high performance requirements.

For users who require high performance hosting services yet cannot opt for a dedicated server, the golden mean is VPS hosting. They can get the facility of a dedicated server in very cheap cost with VPS hosting.

VPS is stands for virtual private server. In short, VPS is a server partitioning technology. In case of VPS every virtual server can install and also reboot separately with their own operating system.

VPS supports mainly two operating system, Or we can say that, based on the operating system VPS is differentiated into two types. The first one is Linux VPS hosting and the second one is Windows VPS hosting. There are many differences between linux vps hosting and windows vps hosting.

Linux VPS Hosting :

If you are searching for a reliable and cheap vps hosting then the linux vps hosting should be proper for you. Linux is a open source operating system. There is no license charges or other hidden charges. Linux is secure, reliable, flexible, cost effective operating system. So, Linux vps hosting provides a stable, sturdy yet cheap hosting solution.

Windows VPS Hosting :

If you wish to run custom Microsoft applications, scripts or software on your VPS, you have to hire windows based VPS hosting services. Windows vps is user friendly. Maximum hosting providers offer you with RDP to access your server. Your VPS is also smoothly accessible through the control panel which you choose with your plan. You can add and delete software or data to and from your VPS and you can optimize performance, scalability and throughput.

Price Factor :
The cheap costs involved in Linux VPS hosting packages is one of the most important reasons for its popularity. As it is open source, it is greatly cost effective than Windows VPS plans and you don’t need to spend anything on purchasing licenses.

On the other hand, if you wish to install and run custom Microsoft applications on your VPS,   a Linux plan won’t work for you. Windows server is the best to run Windows applications and software smoothly.

Your requirements, your budget and how you wish to use your VPS that would determine whether you choose Linux or Windows for your VPS hosting solution.
