Reseller or VPS Hosting

February 21st, 2010

VPS HostingWith reseller hosting, one can sell web space on someone else’s shared server.  To explain it in a simple words, reseller hosting is like shared hosting but the only difference Is that, with reseller hosting you can setup lots of accounts for your own or you can also make money by selling the web space to others on shared server.

With virtual private server, a separate space is created on a physical server and it is the best solution for the people who want to have a dedicated server but cant afford it because of the cost. A single physical server is divided into some partitions which are having the same advantages like dedicated server.

So which hosting type you should prefer? Reseller or VPS Hosting? This is the question which makes everyone think about the number of reasons that needs to be taken care of. So lets have a look at some features that are provided with reseller and VPS hosting which will help you to go with the hosting services that suits your requirements.

Reseller Hosting

Reseller hosting is the best solution for people who like the things which are already organized. All the required things are already setup by the web hosting provider. You get the web host manager who customize the hosting account you will sell in terms of assigning web space, bandwidth and other things. The account you will resell works like shared hosting account. You can decide the prices for reselling the accounts and there are some hosting companies who allows you to give your own name for reseller hosting business. The other thing with reseller hosting is that you need to stick with the same software and  applications that are allowed by hosting provider but they are usually basic and commonly used applications so you don’t need to worry much about this.

VPS Hosting

Virtual private servers are similar to dedicated servers but its like shared service on a dedicated server where it is not shared with n number of clients as it is done with shared hosting. VPS hosting is provider set some limitations on the number of clients who are sharing the same server so that they effectively provide the minimum resources allocated to each client sharing the same server.  Root access is one of the most important feature in VPS Hosting where client have the access to install any of the software and application as per requirements. Hosting provider provides definite amount of CPU, RAM and bandwidth with every hosting package so even if they receive higher amount of traffic it will not let the website go down. One more thing that is important while going with VPS hosting is that you need to have some basic knowledge about server maintenance and software configuration.

Thinking For Windows Dedicated Server?

February 13th, 2010

Dedicateed ServersAre you thinking to have a windows dedicated server for your online business or your website? If yes, then you should also think on why windows dedicated servers are so much popular. Here I will ask you to think on which OS do you have on your system? It is just because the home user finds it very user friendly, but it also crashes without a reason. However, windows is important for server owners because of some other reasons and the reasons are as follows.

Microsoft has not only developed windows but there are lots of other software and programs that has made lots of things easy in computing and cybernetic world. For e.g. .Net technology. The websites that are built with this technology, needs windows dedicated servers to support them.

If the databases of your website are built by using MS Access, MS Visual Basic, MS SQL then your server will need windows operating system.  Linux based server cannot support such databases. If you have already used Microsoft web development tools like Visual Interdev or FrontPage,  only windows server can support your website and also if you want to use MS Office programs, windows server is the only option you have.

The only problem with windows dedicated servers is their cost and if you want the features, you will need to spend some good amounts of money.
