VPS means Virtual Private Server and it behaves like a dedicated web hosting server as far as management is concerned as you gain root privileges with an option to reboot the VPS web hosting server remotely. The VPS web hosting shares system resources with other virtual hosting servers that are hosted on the same physical server. This results in a quite modest price, which is several times lower than that of a dedicated server and is in fact closer to shared web hosting plans in terms of prices.

Kinds of VPS Web Hosting

Just like any other web hosting variety, Virtual Servers may vary depending on various features, but the OS is perchance the most important difference. Here are the two most essential varieties:

Windows VPS web hosting - a virtual hosting server platform running Windows that will permit apps which need Windows to function properly to be activated on the VPS.

Linux VPS web hosting - a Virtual Private Server web hosting system running Linux is the more commonly used type that you can encounter on the web because it is more affordable to put together and handle and thus it is more sought after.

VPS servers are also very sought after by resellers and you can come across 2 modes of reselling a VPS:

VPS web hosting reseller - the reseller purchases a VPS server and starts offering shared web hosting packages that are hosted on the virtual web hosting server. It is comparable to the traditional reseller hosting packages, but here the reseller has complete root access and can alter the web server's configuration.

VPS web hosting reseller - the reseller in fact buys entire VPS web hosting plans to sell them to the customers instead of selling shared web hosting accounts on a single private virtual hosting server. It is considered more remunerative but also calls for more initial payments to buy the virtual web hosting server.

Just like any other web hosting type, VPS web hosting plans regularly entail a LAMP solution stack. LAMP denotes Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP and introduces three more Virtual Private Server hosting varieties:

VPS web hosting with the Apache web server software - the Apache web server is very popular and was the first to hit the one hundred million website mark back in 2009, so it is naturally utilized with private virtual web hosting servers too.

VPS web hosting with MySQL - MySQL is also a famous database management system used with multiple web applications and hence frequently wanted on a virtual web hosting server.

VPS web hosting with PHP - PHP is a programming language preferred by web developers, so it is popular with various web hosting solutions, including virtual server web hosting ones.
