VPS hosting
THREE TYPES OF HOSTING PLANS AVAILABLE
Shared hosting
VPS server hosting
Dedicated hosting
SHARED HOSTING
Shared web hosting means that there is one server (hardware and software) and many sites are hosted on it. You do not have total control on the server. Web hosts provide control panels to access the site and to maximize the revenue per server.
VPS SERVER HOSTING
This kind of hosting refers to one physical server being partitioned off into separate, multiple virtual servers. Each of the virtual servers has the same appearance and features as having a dedicated server It can run on it's own operating system and also be independently rebooted.
DEDICATED HOSTING ď Ź

Dedicated servers offer a completely dedicated solution solely for your website. You will have all the servers resources, processing power, web space, memory at your websites disposal.
VPS hosting

A VPS connects the gap between shared web hosting services and dedicated hosting services. Its cost is far less than a dedicated server. It can install any software running on the operating system.

Both cheap VPS servers and dedicated hosting gives you full control of the server. As the admin, you can customize the hosting environment. You can't do that in a shared environment.
VPS also allows customers to host multiple websites on their partition and add domains themselves. You can host clients' sites or offer private label reseller accounts, too with VPS servers. This makes VPS an excellent option for webmasters, website design firms and freelance website designers.
Obviously a VPS hosting servers is a great option if you require total management over your virtual server. This will require the knowledge to setup, maintain, secure and optimize your server. Any licenses like cPanel, Direct Admin, etc will come at an extra price. Server management may come at an extra price, etc.
VPS SERVER TYPES
Windows VPS, Linux VPS
Linux VPS is cheaper than windows VPS.
RAM ď Ź
ď Ź
If your VPS has 384 MB of guaranteed or dedicated RAM, and 1024 MB of burstable RAM. This means after you have used up your guaranteed RAM, there is still 640MB backup RAM available for burst usage. This is the only reason we always keep few extra memory with each server at all times as the burstable RAM. If your cheapest Linux VPS constantly requires more resources than your package guarantees, they can quickly arrange an upgrade for you to a VPS hosting plan with much more guaranteed resources.
A cheap VPS host reside on the same server, but it's really a virtual server. That means no physical server exist. The VPS is partitioned using sophisticated server software. The VPS operates and work like a standalone server but in reality, it's still on a shared server. However, the software is able to isolate the server into different "compartments" so that one "compartment" won't affect the other.

VPS offers many of the benefits of dedicated server hosting at a lower price, but there are some potential disadvantages to consider. VPS servers must be maintained by the customer, and that includes updates as well as security. Managing you own VPS server can take a significant amount of time and demands a good deal of technical expertise
VPS/DEDICATED
Both types of hosting gives you a fixed amount of server resources. These resources (i.e. RAM and hard disk space) are allocated to your account, and they are for your use only. In a shared environment, the resources are shared. That is why some websites tend to load slower on a shared server, even though it's just a static website. On a reliable VPS or dedicated server, you will not experience this issue.

Obviously, having a dedicated server ensures that your site is more scalable. More resources - Hosting it on a dedicated server would be a waste of resources. The majority of the websites require only a shared server or a VPS server. For community sites that are immensely popular, a cheap dedicated server is a must. If you a starting a new site, you don't have to sign up for a dedicated machine immediately. You can sign up for a VPS account, and migrate to a dedicated environment if your website becomes popular enough.
REDUCING IT WORRIES WITH A
DEDICATED SERVER
ď Ź
ď Ź
A very important benefit of using a dedicated server is that as the sole user you have absolute control over what happens on the server, such as which scripts are run, and which types of online activities are allowed. As one user on a affordable dedicated server comprising many businesses, however, you may be affected by the activities of others, which are something outside of your control, causing downtime at very inconvenient moments. Another user can slow down the entire network or, in the worst case scenario, cause it to crash entirely.
ď Ź
ď Ź
With a dedicated server, performance and reliability are not affected by other users. You are pretty much guaranteed permanent uptime unless it is your own activities causing problems.
ď Ź
ď Ź
You can therefore plan ahead and try out new software or to carry out required maintenance activities during off-peak times or overnight, and do not have to worry about the possibility of your server and your website becoming inaccessible during peak times. A dedicated server therefore leads to enhanced security and stability for your business.
ď Ź
There are two sub categories of dedicated server hosting
MANAGED AND UNMANAGED DEDICATED SERVER HOSTING ď Ź
ď Ź
Most of the people are unable to decide whether to select managed or unmanaged server. With unmanaged hosting you will get basic services like hardware maintenance and basic operating system installation rest you have to manage by yourself including all application software installations and security tools.
ď Ź
Whereas in managed hosting your hosting company will take care of everything. It manages your hardware, operating system, install application software, security software, firewall installations, perform the backup and take all possible measures to keep you server secure. As compared to unmanaged hosting it is costly; you have to pay for these services.
