A Simple Newbie's Introduction To Setting Up A Virtual Server

Virtual Private Server hosts are superior to the shared hosting method in several ways

, providing increased stability of the servers, independence from the other virtual servers in the network and overall better performance. Additionally, unlike shared hosting, Windows VPS gives you the possibility to use any type of program you wish and full customization freedom. While you will take a bit more from your pocket for this option, once your business is starting to develop, shared hosting will no longer be a viable option.

In order to benefit from the service, first you will need to find a suitable UK VPS hosting services provider. Therefore, go online and find suitable portals and directories so you can compare quality of services and prices. After you have compared a few offers and have decided on the one that can best suit your purposes, the next thing you need to do is create an account and activate it via your email. Once you have activated the account, you will be able to log onto your virtual private server and start customizing it accordingly to your desires.

In most cases, the first thing you will need to choose is the Kernel. As opposed to the shared hosting service, these services provide a lot more kernels. Keep in mind that this is an important decision and therefore, do some research and learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of each kernel, before you pick one. In case your time does not allow you to do extensive research, then your best option is to pick Ubuntu.

Depending on the type of plan you choose for the UK VPS service, you will have a certain amount of virtual space allocated. Therefore, you can use all the allocated space for a single website or create partitions that will allow you to run more sites on the VPS. In case you have decided to go with the small partitions, then you will need to determine the space that is needed for each partition. Keep in mind to note the IP for each and every one of them, as you will need that information later on. If you choose to go with the single partition version, then you will only need to remember one IP.

In accordance to your operating system, you will need to run a software utility able to handle Secure Shell. While Windows works well with PuTTY, Mac and Linux operating systems will require you use Terminal. Such programs will allow you to install all the programs and customize them as you please.

Virtual Private Servers are a necessity for every online business that aims to expand, as the shared hosting simply does not offer you all the features you need. If you are on a tight budget, then you should know that with a little research you will be able to find inexpensive VPS servers on the internet. Because you will be able to present high quality websites to all your clients, you can be sure that your marketing and sells will improve significantly.
