What is VPS Hosting?

Website hosting is a solution, which permits you to upload your site on a web hosting server in order to bring it online and a VPS is a private virtual hosting server - it behaves like a dedicated server, bestowing complete root access to the customer, but it shares the system resources of the physical machine with other VPS hosting accounts. In other words, VPS hosting is a web hosting service provided on a VPS web server, which is becoming more and more widely used owing to the autonomy you have as far as server setup is concerned. VPS Hosting are regularly utilized by software developers and programmers as a testing platform where they can verify how their product would perform under different circumstances.

Linux VPS hosting - it is normally favored due to the smaller setup and maintenance fees and the possibility to modify the Operating System according to the needs of the customers on the basis of the skills of the administrators, because Linux is open-source.

Windows VPS hosting - being more expensive makes Windows a last refuge when you wish to host software apps that cannot operate on another Operating System and there are many of them, so the Windows VPS web hosting platform is quite common as well.

Maybe the most extensively used VPS software solution stack is LAMP, which means Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP, and it determines a few more Virtual Private Server hosting types aside from Linux VPS server hosting:

VPS hosting with the Apache web server - every hosting service needs a server that will deliver the webpages to the web browsers and Apache is among the most famous web servers; as a matter of fact, back in 2009, it was the first to cross the 100 000 000 web site milestone.

VPS hosting with MySQL - there are different kinds of database management software systems that can be used on a virtual private hosting server but MySQL is by all means one of the most widespread ones used in web apps. It is sought after thanks to its simple configuration and fast speed.

VPS hosting with PHP - PHP is a multi-function programming language utilized in the development of many websites and applications, so it is only normal that it is popular with the majority of web hosting services, including virtual servers.
