Virtual Private Server (also known as VPS) is a kind of shared server with a dedicated environment. In short, Virtual Private Server can be considered as the smaller version of a dedicated server. Also, Virtual Private Server is a kind of server which will provide the client with almost all the features which are provided with a dedicated server. As a number of Virtual Private Servers are setup on the same dedicated server the resources which are offered with the server are less than the resources offered with the dedicated server. If there is an issue with any other Virtual Private Server hosted on the same server than the Virtual Private Server of the client will not be affected.

The resources allotted to a Virtual Private Server cannot be used by any other Virtual Private Server on the same server. Also, the client is provided with the root access to the server and he can customize the server according to his needs. These servers are provided with different operating systems and different control panels and the client can choose them according to him.

One of the operating system is Linux and Linux is generally provided with cPanel control panel. With the cPanel the client can manage his Virtual Private Server easily. There are some features in the cPanel also. One of them is the Add-on domain. This feature provides the client with an extra domain for the hosting account. Each domain will have its different website which is not same as others (for example: yourdomain1.com & yourdomain2.com, etc). The visitors of your websites will be able to access each domain seperately and these domains will appear to be a completely different website.

Below are some easy steps which will help you to add an Add-on domain:-

1) Log-in to your cPanel.

2) Click on the Add-on domains and enter the following information.

a. New Domain Name: The addon domain which you like to add to your account (for example:-mydomain.com)

b. Username/directory/subdomain Name: The name of the subfolder of your account to upload the files of that addon domain (example:mydomain)

c. Password: The password you wish to have except your main account password. The special FTP account of that domain will be accessed with the help of this password.

Important:You should be able to see a folder with the name of your domain once the domain is added (For example: if your domain is mydomain.com your folder name is going to be mydomain – unless you change your folder name).

First step to setup a Private Nameserver for your Virtual Private Server is to decide what nameservers you want to set on your Virtual Private Server hosting account. If you have the domain as “mydomain.com” then it is possible for you to make the nameservers ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com.

After you are done with this task then Second step is to Open http://IP/whm then go to IP Functions >> show IP address usage & Check free IP over there or choose your primary and secondary IP Address.

First a Registrar will be required to register the nameservers. Then you can ask them to register a private nameserver for your domain or you can do this yourself by simply logging into the control panel of your registrar’s domain name and register the domain name for your domain yourself.

-ns1.domain.com – the Default IP Of your server
-ns2.domain.com – Secondary IP or free IP

Exception:- If you want to use ns3.domain.com and ns4.domain.com for this server as you have only one domain and you have already set that name server for your other server then you will have to set the dns for it from the dns zone file of domain.com if you have WHM then you can go to the server where this domain is resolving then open WHM >> Edit a DNS zone >> select domain from the list >> Edit at the end just add this line
ns3 In A First_IP
ns4 In A Second_IP

If shell is what you are using then you can simply put following lines there in

# vi /var/named/domain.com.db
ns3 IN A First_IP
ns4 IN A Second_IP

save file.

# service named reload

# rndc reload domain.com

Now, the Third step is : http://IP/whm >> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup

Scroll down to Primary Nameserver ns1.domain.com & Click on “Assign IP address” and then “Add an A entry for this name server”

Similarly for Secondary Nameserver ns2.domain.com Click on “Assign IP address ” and then “Add an A entry for this name server”

Now, the forth and the last step,

check if your nameservers have started resolving or not from

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=ns1.domain.com&type=A

Once you see the assigned IP address there then it means that the name server for your server are set.

Create new account from your WHM and now you will just need to point your site from your registrar end to these nameservers ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com if you want to resolve your site from this server.

If you have entered the wrong url or entered some wrong information into the browser, you may see some kind of error page on the screen. 400 Bad request, 401 Authorization Required, 403 Forbidden, 404 Wrong page, 500 Internal Server Error etc. are some of the examples of error pages. These error pages have to customized on the website with the help of the control panel which is provided with the web hosting package you have with for your website. You can also design the error pages of your website according to you. Also, you can add some image to the error pages of your website and also add a link to it so that the user can click on the link and reach the homepage of your website.

If you have Linux VPS Hosting as your web hosting package you can customize the error pages of your website very easily. As the Linux VPS is provided with the cPanel as the control panel, you can easily create some error pages for your website according to you.

Below are some easy steps which will help you to create error pages of your website:-

1) Login in the cPanel of your VPS.

2) Then click on the Error Pages link under the ‘Site Management’ header.

3) Now click on the button of the required error page.

4) Enter the HTML code of the error page. You can use the buttons at the top of the page to insert variables into the    displayed code.

5) Now click on the “SAVE” button.

If you think that Virtual Private Servers are the best option for you to host your websites than it could be one. The reason for this is Virtual Private Servers are cheap, reliable, secured and offer you almost all the features of a dedicated server. If you have decided the operating system you need for your Virtual Private Server and all the other features you need, then you still need to decide whether you need a Managed Virtual Private Server or an Unmanaged Virtual Private Server.

Managed VPS Hosting and Unmanaged Virtual Private Server are also two different types Virtual Private Servers available. You might get stuck to take this particular decision that what is good for you Managed Virtual Private Server or an Unmanaged Virtual Private Server. The control over the websites is the main difference between the two. In Unmanaged Virtual Private Server hosting the main control over the site is with the client. So if you are aware about database hosting technology and you think that you can handle your website on your own than you can go for Unmanaged Virtual Private Server hosting. Managed Virtual Private Server hosting is for you if you do not care about what the web host does behind the scenes and it does not bother you. Managed Virtual Private Server hosting is generally preferred by large bussiness websites as they do not consider the small aspects of web hosting as they have many tasks to be finished off. If you select Managed Virtual Private Server hosting for your websites than you will not have to suffer from the headaches which are involved in hosting your website as skilled technicians are available and will help you out if you have any issues with your websites.

There are many suggestions given by different people which are related to the web hosting industry but the decision of choosing a Managed or Unmanaged Virtual Private Server depends on the clients skills of handling the technical problems which occur when one does have a website hosted on a Virtual Private Server. Unmanaged Virtual Private Server requires high technical skills and this is the reason that many of the people choose Managed Virtual Private Server for hosting the websites as they do not have level of technological skills which are needed for hosting websites on Unmanaged Virtual Private Server. If you do not have any problem if an outsider interferes and helps you to manage your website than you can choose a Managed Virtual Private Server. However, if you have the proper knowledge and the technological skills which are required, than Unmanaged Virtual Private Server are for you. There is not much difference between the cost of the Managed and Unmanaged Virtual Private Servers. So you do not have to worry about the cost. It entirely depends on you which type of Virtual Private Server you want to choose for hosting your websites, Managed Virtual Private Server or Unmanaged Virtual Private Server.

Virtual Private Server is a reliable web hosting solution. Virtual Private Server is reliable due to the fact that it acts as a dedicated server in spite of the fact that it is like a shared server. As Virtual Private Server is a kind of a shared server it is much more cheaper in comparison to dedicated servers. Also, it provides clients with almost all the features of a dedicated server. Virtual Private Server is like a shared server but a it will not be affected even if there is an issue with any other Virtual Private Server on the same server. So clients get a reliable server with a dedicated environment and at a cheaper cost if they go for Virtual Private Server. Virtual Private Server are created on a dedicated server with the help of a Virtualization software.

Security is one of the most important points when one chooses a server for hosting his sites. This is the reason for so many anti-virus software’s are in the market currently. When choosing a server one should always make sure that the Web hosting provider has good anti-virus software for the server. If you have a shared server than it is not at all possible to rely on the server and it is not even possible to install anything on the server from your side. So if you have a website which needs security you will have to consider a VPS Hosting or a dedicated server.

This is also possible if you have a VPS server for hosting your websites. As the servers have some operating system which is already installed on the server you will have to search for anti-virus software which is supported by your operating system. As these servers will have Linux or Windows operating systems you will have look for an anti-virus which is supported by these operating systems. Apart from the anti-virus software you can do some other things which will make your server more secured. If you have Windows VPS server than you can easily make your server more secured. Some of the steps mentioned below will help you to make your Windows VPS server more secured.

First you will have to logon to your Windows VPS server with the help of Remote Desktop. Once you have done this you have to enable its Windows Firewall. After this you will have to select the following:-

Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall.

After selecting Windows Firewall, Add the ports/applications given below to your firewall exceptions as required (Exceptions Tab > Add Program or Port)

Check “Remote Desktop” option [Remote Desktop]

Add Port > Name = DNS UDP | Port =53 | UDP [Domain Name Server UDP]

Add Port > Name = DNS TCP | Port =53 | TCP [Domain Name Server TCP]

Add Port > Name = FTP| Port =21 | TCP [FTP Server]

Add Port > Name = SMTP | Port =25 | TCP [Mail Server]

Add Port > Name = POP3 | Port =110 | TCP [POP 3 Mail collection service]

Add Port > Name = HTTP | Port =80 | TCP [Web Server]

Add Port > Name = HTTPS | Port =443 | TCP [Secure Web Server]

Add Program > Browse > C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe (This will allow you to use the FTP Service)

Note: You will probably also want your windows VPS server to respond to network ICMP packets (ping) so ensure that this is enabled by going: Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Advanced > ICMP Settings > Enable options.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) is one of the most well known forms of Web Hosting. A dedicated server is separated into parts and the Virtual Private Servers are made. Virtual Private Servers are the servers which are a kind of shared servers but provide you with the Dedicated environment. For this reason, it is said that Virtual Private Server acts like a dedicated server. Virtual Private Servers are provided with the root access to the server just like the dedicated server. As the root access to the server is given, client is able to install software’s, programs and can also make changes in them according to him.

Virtual Private Server is not affected even if there is an issue with any other Virtual Private Server on the same server and so it is just like the dedicated server. Also, the resources which are offered with the server can only be utilized by the client and no other client can use these resources. This is one of the best advantages of the Virtual Private Server. Virtual Private Servers are also provided with two different operating systems and the client can choose the operating system according to him. Operating systems which are currently given with VPS servers are Linux and Windows. Both these operating systems are provided with the control panel so that the client can manage the server accordingly. However, having a control panel for the server is optional.

Difference:-

If we compare Linux Virtual Private Server and Windows Virtual Private Server than there are some differences which make them quite different from each other. Linux Virtual Private Server will not be a better option for you if you are a Windows developer. The reason for this is some of the Windows programs will not work on Linux Virtual Private Server. However, if you choose Linux Virtual Private Server than you can save a lot of cash in comparison to Windows Virtual Private Server. Linux Virtual Private Server is much cheaper than Windows Virtual Private Server as Linux is free open source software. You will not have to pay any charges as licensing fees. This makes Linux Virtual Private Server much cheaper in comparison to Windows Virtual Private Server. If you select Windows Virtual Private Server than you will have to pay the licensing fees as Windows is a product of Microsoft. Also, the price of Linux Virtual Private Server and Windows Virtual Private Server will depend on your requirements and the applications you have to install on the server.

Linux Virtual Private Server is cheap and has much more features in comparison to Windows Virtual Private Server. Even if Linux Virtual Private Server is cheap it will work for large or small businesses. Linux Virtual Private Server is also good for resellers, Web designers and development firms. Also, if you go for Windows Virtual Private Server you will have to pay for things you will require in future and this is not the case with Linux Virtual Private Server as you will get them for free and you will save money on a regular basis. The thing which might bother you when you choose Linux VPS is that the support given with it is less than Windows Virtual Private Server.

The reason for this is Linux being “open source”. As Linux is free software you will get the support only from some of the communities on the internet. Whereas, you will get the support for windows from the communities, websites as well as Microsoft as you are paying for the service. But, if you choose Linux, enough support is available on communities if you have some issues.
