USA Web Hosting - American Flag USA

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.

Our US hosting facility has been developed with the following features to offer you the most secure hosting environment possible:

  • Biometric access prevents unauthorized individuals from gaining access to the data floor; all entrances and exits are also covered by a CCTV system that is constantly monitored
  • All of our hardware is contained within locked racks that can only be accessed by our support staff on a short-term basis; all rack keys are kept in a secure location and can only be accessed by those with good reason

VPS is well known as virtual private server. VPS has a server splitting process. Each virtual server functions with its own operating system and also can be separately  rebooted.

Everybody knows that, mainly two types of operating systems can be used for VPS set up. First one is Linux VPS and second one is Windows VPS. There are many arguments about  benefits of Linux VPS and  Windows VPS.

1. Windows is a highly commercial operating system. On the other hand Linux is a free and open source operating system. For this reason there is a cost difference. So Windows VPS is more costly than Linux VPS.

2. Windows VPS and Linux VPS both offer the remote desktop access. Windows VPS provide you the access to stay completely in control and fully conscious of what you are basically editing for your VPS. In case of Linux VPS user can use ssh as text-based remote access which is more difficult and challenging than windows VPS.

3. In case of reliability and security user can much more depend on linux than windows.

4. Windows VPS is not capable to give 100% uptime but Linux VPS is capable of providing a solid 100 uptime guarantee. As it is open source, you can customize your Linux server to handle load spikes together with loading software and programs that should take up less disk space than Windows VPS programs.

PHP (scripting language) , MySQL (Server database) , POP3 (local e-mail clients ) etc can run on both Windows server as well as Linux servers. But  ASP, FrontPage, ASP.NET environment, Windows Streaming Media, MS Access, MS SQL etc are run on only  Windows server.

I mentioned earlier that Linux is a cheap hosting option as compared to windows hosting. It offers the same powerful and high performance output as a windows server without costing too much. A linux VPS hosting proves to be a comparatively good deal as it is cheap, highly efficient and secure.

VPS Hosting

Virtual Private Server hosting is the golden mean for people who have outgrown their shared hosting resources yet cannot afford a fully dedicated server for their hosting requirements. When your business hosting needs to be upgraded yet you are looking for a cheap hosting option, VPS hosting is the perfect solution. You get customized hosting solution with scalability in terms of bandwidth and storage.

VPS stands for a Virtual Private Server. A virtual private server is created through virtualization technique where partitions are created within one physical server to create multiple virtual servers. Each virtual server has the appearance and capabilities of of running on its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and each server can be independently rebooted. Depending on your own particular requirements, you can opt for either managed VPS or unmanaged VPS services. A cheap VPS hosting plan with a popular control panel like Cpanel or Plesk is offered by every web hosting provider

What is the difference between the two types of VPS hosting and which one should I choose?

With unmanaged VPS hosting, you have full control of your virtual hosting environment. You are responsible for the setup, management, and operations of your virtual web server. If you are technically very sound with all aspects of web hosting and servers, you can go with unmanaged VPS. While this is great in terms of privacy and security, it poses another problem. If there is any problem with your VPS account, you will have to deal with it on your own. Whether the problem occurs with the software, hardware, server resources, or applications, the hosting service provider won’t come to your help. That means you have to invest time and effort to make sure someone is constantly monitoring your VPS hosting setup to ensure reliability, uptime, and server stability.

The advantage of unmanaged VPS is that it is very cost effective. Since the web hosting provider does not provide any softwares, and technical or customer support, you can save on those costs.

On the other hand, if you do not have the knowledge or time to manage and administer your own virtual server, you can purchase a managed VPS hosting plan. This is a perfect solution for people who just want to get the improved performance and output from their VPS without being bothered about the technical maintenance.

Your hosting provider will look after the server management, server monitoring, repairs and upgrades or patches that need to be installed. In addition you will get good quality, full time technical and customer support if you buy services from a reputed web hosting provider.

With managed VPS hosting, you only have to be careful about what websites you install on the VPS. The hardware maintenance will be taken care of by the web hosting company.

If you are running a rapidly growing business with increasing demands on your hosting resources, managed VPS hosting is ideal for you. You get fully scalable services as you can increase the storage capacity of the web site and other server resources when required.

As your server grows, all you need to do is inform your hosting company about your requirement for more resources. They will add all the necessary resources, bill you the additional cost and you continue to concentrate on your business.

In conclusion, an unmanaged VPS hosting is ideal for you only if you have the skills, time or manpower to manage your hosting environment on your own. Otherwise, we recommend you opt for the hassle free, more comfortable option of managed VPS hosting services which leave you free work on your business growth.

VPS Hosting are just an next step to shared hosting packages and which are not really expensive such as a dedicated server. The features that are provided by VPS Servers are more or less like a dedicated server. no shared hosting packages provide full root access on Linux VPS’s or administrator access for Windows VPS Hosting packages. Customization are much more feasible when it comes to a VPS and it also allows third-party applications.

Much better performance when compared to any shared or reseller hosting packages. You will be able to host in a custom environment. However, in most cases good amount of knowledge is required in order to host a VPS. If you have a fully managed VPS, that would do much help and also assist you with major operations.

Also, be assured that you need more information on the VPS in order to host it. Best way is to gain as much knowledge from the host as possible. At the time of signup, please make sure you select the right options in order to meet your requirements. Wise selection of hosting package are always good for your pocket. Once you are aware of the vps you need to signup, please make sure the hosting provider can install it for you.
