Server info

In computing, a server is a computer program or a device that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called “clients“. This architecture is called the client–server model, and a single overall computation is distributed across multiple processes or devices. Servers can provide various functionalities, often called “services”, such as sharing data or resources among multiple clients or performing computation for a client. A single server can serve multiple clients, and a single client can use multiple servers. A client process may run on the same device or may connect over a network to a server on a different device.[1] Typical servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.[2]

VPS Server 

A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual machine sold as a service by an Internet hosting service provider. The virtual dedicated server (VDS) also has a similar meaning.

A VPS runs its own copy of an operating system (OS), and customers may have superuser-level access to that operating system instance, so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS. For many purposes they are functionally equivalent to a dedicated physical server, and being software-defined, are able to be much more easily created and configured. They are priced much lower than an equivalent physical server. However, as they share the underlying physical hardware with other VPSes, performance may be slightly lower, depending on the workload of any other executing virtual machines.[1]

VPS vs Dedicated Servers

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) uses virtualization software to partition physical servers into multiple “virtual” servers—each having the ability to run its own operating system and applications whereby a Dedicated Server is “an enterprise-grade physical server used to host the applications and services of a single hosting client”. Dedicated servers are typically used to host high-traffic websites, web applications, and for other hosting scenarios where performance is paramount and comes with a higher price tag. VPS is not for everyone, but is quickly becoming the hosting preference of choice for advanced Web developers who require root access to the server to run their own software.

Are you ready to switch from a shared server—the standard Web hosting setup—to a Virtual Private Server? Or, should you go even further and invest in a Dedicated Server Package? Your need for Server space, flexibility and growth potential will answer these questions for you and what you require. VPS can be a perfect solution for businesses that want many of the features of a dedicated server but don’t have the resources to physically host, support and maintain the server hardware. 

Benefits of a VPS Server Plan

VPS is a fantastic solution if your website has outgrown the space offered on a shared hosting plan, especially if you run multiple high-traffic websites. While dedicated servers are a big financial and technical investment, VPS offers an “in between” option that offers great flexibility and scope for a savvy Web developer without the hefty price tag. You get full root-level access to install and delete software, set permissions, create accounts and determine your customized server environment – but because you are still sharing hardware you don’t have to be concerned about the physical server maintenance and security with our online support option..

With VPS Hosting you don’t share resources because you have defined memory and bandwidth allocations within your virtual environment. A VPS will give you far more bandwidth and disk space and ensure you are never compromised by someone else’s website. It’s also a more flexible solution if your website grows and you need to move to another server – since it’s easier to move a VPS to a new physical server than to transfer the contents of a dedicated server over to a new host.

Hosting your Websites using a VPS Server

VPS has clear advantages for website hosting as it offers a huge level of flexibility over shared website hosting, without stretching your budget to a dedicated server. A VPS offers you an environment for development and testing for your website hosting. For example, you could choose to have a VPS dedicated to testing and a separate VPS running simultaneously for your live or production websites. Without the need for two physical servers you can safely debug software, install major changes and software updates in a secure environment without affecting your live websites. You can also use a VPS for backup or file storage. It’s easy to switch between virtual servers so you can protect and maintain website visibility online even while undergoing extensive development work.

A VPS is not the same as a dedicated server, but it gives the illusion of being one. A good Web developer can do almost anything on a VPS that they would want to do on dedicated server, however, a VPS hosting plan is substantially less expensive, comes with technical support options, and. Sure, cheap servers can be acquired, but they will require a far larger overhead in terms of physical security and technical maintenance, security and support. Ultimately, a VPS can be the perfect solution when you need more flexibility and features than a shared hosting plan, but are not in the market for your own dedicated hosting server.

Windows choice of operating system

We offer two types of Cloud Hosting solutions – Linux and Windows. There is no difference in features or quality. They differ in the way they are built. While Linux uses the open source scripts like MySQL and PHP, Windows machines are built on Windows specific technologies like ASP.NET, MSSQL, MSAccess etc.

 

It is important that you choose a cost effective Windows dedicated servers hosting if your website requires the use of any of the Microsoft technologies. One reason why it is recommended to use Windows hosting is because Linux servers are not compatible with the Microsoft framework and can cause performance issues.

Administrative control

Since the entire machine is with one entity, that person has complete control. You can manage your server via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). You have the power to configure the hardware and install any software that your business may require.

Reliable OS

The complete resources like RAM, server space, processor, bandwidth and others are totally with the client. You can use the server for any purpose- email server, database hosting, large e-commerce, gaming server, or anything you wish to. The server can easily handle high traffic pressures without slowing down or crashing. since you have the control, you can configure the server according to the traffic demands.

Tools you get

Windows dedicated servers come with the Plesk control panel for the users to manage their account. In addition, the servers are provided with a dedicated IP and a SSL certificate that enhances the security to your account.

Security and support

The servers are built and housed in resilient data centers that have 24/7 surveillance by security officers. Entry is allowed only through biometric cards. The servers come inbuilt with firewalls, IPS, IDS, anti-spam and anti-virus solutions. Microsoft frequently updates all its applications for security patches. You must make sure you have the newest tool so that you stay on par with your competitors. 

Dedicated Server

Advantages of a Dedicated Hosting Server Provider

1. Server resources are not shared

When you decided to go with a dedicated hosting plan, you get the full resources of a single server. There is no need to eventually worry about other traffic clogging up the server’s CPU and RAM. With a dedicated server, you can be sure that bad scripts running on another website or spikes in bandwidth usage won’t slow your server down.

2. Enhanced performance and security

Choosing a dedicated hosting plan guarantees maximum uptime for your resources. Shared hosting is often best for websites with low to medium traffic. If your website receives a lot traffic,though, dedicated servers provide more stability and reliability than shared hosting.

With a dedicated server, you can also be sure that you aren’t sharing space with a malicious website or a potential spammer. Dedicated hosting allows enhanced security, particularly important for companies handling sensitive transactions over FTP or SSL.

3. Flexibility

A dedicated server allows a client the flexibility of customizing the server to the clients unique needs for CPU, RAM, disk space and software. With shared hosting, a customer is limited to the applications, software and operating environment already loaded onto the server. They may either offer software a client doesn’t need.

A dedicated server allows organizations a customizable server environment that fits their needs. They can choose the platform and software they really need, allowing more control over how their dedicated server is configured.

4. Unique IP address

Each server has its own unique static IP address. With shared hosting, that means that you are also sharing an IP address with multiple other websites. If one of your neighbors is a spam site or an adult site, this could mean having your websites’ rank pushed down.

With dedicated hosting, you have a dedicated server, which means your own unique IP address. This is especially important if you are a large running an e-commerce site that requires SSL for credit card processing.

5. No overhead for purchasing or maintaining equipment

If a company needs a dedicated server, but doesn’t have the time or resources to manage a server themselves, dedicated hosting is a low-cost way to access the resources of a full server. A dedicated hosting provider handles the cost of building and maintaining server equipment, reducing the overhead for a business purchasing server space, and improving their return on investment.

These advantages come with a cost, however. Shared hosting is the less expensive way for a business to run it’s resources, and dedicated hosting is far more expensive in comparison, although the sites that deal with a lot of traffic, or have strict needs for customization and security, may find that a dedicated hosting provider is their best option.
