What Is Linux VPS Hosting?

Linux Virtual Private Server hosting is a hosting service we proudly offer that allows our customers many of the benefits of a dedicated server minus the higher cost associated with these dedicated servers. A Virtual Private Server resides among other Virtual Private Servers on the same physical server. Through the use of virtualization software, it is possible to have different virtual servers, all running their own operating system and applications, on the same physical server. Even though these Virtual Private Servers are running on the same physical server, each Virtual Private Server runs independently of each other.

A Linux Virtual Private Server is simply a VPS that runs on the Linux operating system.

Why a VPS?

A Virtual Private Server offers you enhanced security. Each Virtual Private Server resides in its own Virtual Private Server space on a server. This space is isolated from other processes and data on the server and thus, is secure, as well as safe, from any other processes and data on the same server.

Also, because a Virtual Private Server is run in its own isolated environment on a server, it also is very reliable. It will prove to not be susceptible to any code being run on any other portion of the server where the Virtual Private Server you are utilizing resides. This is because the virtualization software run on the server operates to isolate each Virtual Private Server instance separate from each other on the server, thereby making each VPS more independent of each other on the same server.

Another huge benefit that a Virtual Private Server offers is its lower cost. In order to acquire the many benefits that a VPS offers you would be forced to pay the higher costs associated with a dedicated server. With a VPS you get many of the same features but at a reduced cost.

Why Linux?

Linux is a robust operating system that happens to be absolutely perfect for the web. For starters, Linux is an open source operating system. The developers of this operating system release updates and new revisions regularly and it is always free of charge. An operating system like Windows is a commercial product and users must pay for a license to simply use a copy of the OS. Put simply, because there is no charge to us to install a Linux operating system on a server, we can, therefore, pass this savings on to our valued customers. This makes all of our Linux OS based plans more affordable than they would otherwise be if based on a commercial OS, and ultimately, helps save you money.

Now we know free doesn’t always translate to better. However, that’s not the case with Linux. Even though this operating system is open source and thus, free to install and use, it also happens to be stable, secure, and ultra reliable.

• Stable - With a Linux-based OS, when physical components are upgraded and installed inside the system there is no need to perform a reboot of the system. When a computer system is rebooting, its resources and any data that could be fetched from the system are for most intents and purposes unavailable until the reboot has finished. In a Linux OS-based server this is never an issue.
• Secure - Thanks to an extremely competent and robust community of users, Linux is an extremely secure OS.
• Ultra-reliable - Besides the two key points already mentioned previously that help prove the case of Linux OS reliability, there is also the nice feature inherent to Linux operating systems that when one component fails there is the immediate fail-over switch to another component that has not failed. This helpful redundancy ensures consistent reliability over time and Linux operating systems handle this quite well.
• Affordable - Cheap Linux VPS only relates to the price you pay, not the service you get!

Why a Linux VPS?

A Linux Virtual Private Server is the perfect combination. It combines all of the great benefits that a Virtual Private Server has to offer with all of the wonderful benefits that Linux has to offer. With a Linux VPS, you are going to get both the security and reliability that comes from having a VPS in addition to the security and reliability that comes from running a Linux-based operating system. Furthermore, you are going to get the cost savings from both a VPS and a Linux-based OS solution. You truly will get the best of both worlds with a Linux Virtual Private Server.
