What is VPS Hosting?

Website hosting is a solution, which enables you to upload your site on a web server so as to bring it online and a VPS is a private virtual server - it behaves like a dedicated server, giving full root-level access to the customer, but it shares the resources of the physical server with other VPS hosting accounts. In other words, VPS hosting is a web hosting service offered on a VPS web server, which is growing more and more popular owing to the flexibility you have as far as server setup is concerned. VPS are frequently utilized by web site developers and programmers as a testing platform where they can view how their product would operate under different conditions.

Possibly the most widespread VPS platform is LAMP, which stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP, and it introduces a few more VPS web server hosting varieties beside Linux virtual server hosting:

VPS hosting with Apache - each hosting service needs a server that will deliver the web pages to the browsers and Apache is one of the most commonly used web servers; as it is, back in 2009, it was the first to hit the one hundred million website milestone.

VPS hosting with MySQL - there are many sorts of databases that can be utilized on a Virtual Private Server but MySQL is definitely one of the most popular ones used in web apps. It is well-liked because of its simple configuration and fast speed.
