What
is Virtual Private
Server (VPS) or
Virtual Dedicated
Server (VDS)?
Virtual Dedicated
Server (VDS) Technology
is a new technology
based on the concept
of partitions
on mainframes
and advanced resource
scheduling to
divide a computer
into many virtually
isolated servers.
A VDS simply put
is, a server that
runs inside another
server. Each VDS
acts like a dedicated
server but shares
the same hardware.
VDS technology
completely isolates
each VDS, creating
a more secure
and reliable hosting
environment. Each
VDS has its own
isolated disk
space, guaranteed
network interface
bandwidth, guaranteed
cpu allocation,
RAM and operating
system. If a VDS
on the same physical
server crashes,
the other accounts
on the server
are protected
and remain unaffected.
It is not possible
for any account
to use up all
the RAM, disk
space, network
bandwidth, CPU
cycles, or any
other resources
of the Hosting
Server. Neither
is it possible
for one account
to view/edit the
files of any other
account.
VDS website owners
have full control
of the environment
with their own
root accounts
and have:
- ability to
install and
run its own
application
software, e.g:
Apache (web
server), Sendmail
(mail server),
MySQL (database
server), Bind
(DNS server)
- ability to
manage own config
files
- ability to
configure/modify
root application
software
- ability to
delete, add,
modify any file,
including files
in the root
server
- full control
over all files
and processes
on the virtual
server
Who
needs the Virtual
Dedicated Server?
The VDS suits
ideally the needs
of independent companies
involved in the
development of Internet
sites. The DBS capabilities
allow to host any
customers’
sites, while guaranteeing
the freedom of choice
as to the technologies
applied, software
components and script
languages.
The VDS allows
small Internet
providers to set
up their individual
hosting application
while avoiding
them extra costs
relating to the
hosting platform
and a need to
worry about the
server operation.
