All Hosting Solutions Not Created Equal
There are essentially two types of hosting solutions available: Virtual Hosting and
Virtual Servers. In a Virtual Hosting environment, you are simply
"sub-letting" software resources controlled and maintained by someone else. The
software (web, ftp, email) is configured and customized by the Virtual Hosting Provider.
Virtual Servers vs Virtual Hosting There are
essentially two types of hosting solutions available: Virtual Hosting and Virtual Servers.
Though the terms seem similar, the underlying functionality of the two solutions is very
different. Your Internet site is very likely an integral part of your business, therefore
understanding the differences between Virtual Hosting and Virtual Servers can have a
significant impact on your hosting decision. A decision that can be as important as
choosing what content you place on your site.
Web Hosting solutions consist of two components, namely:
1.the hardware (such as the CPU, memory, disk drives, etc), and
2.the software (i.e. the web, ftp, and pop servers, the e-mail gateway, and any
third-party
applications such as CGI scripts).
In a "Virtual Hosting" environment both the hardware and the software are
configured and
customized by the site administrators. Therefore, the client is left with little control
over how his or her Internet Services behave. This is the least expensive solution and
simply shares the single set of software applications on the physical server. The client
in effect, has only "sub-letted" software resources controlled and maintained by
someone else!
In a true "Virtual Server" environment only the hardware is controlled and
maintained by the site administrators. The software (i.e. the web, ftp, and pop services,
as well as the smtp gateway) is completely autonomous and affords the client complete
flexibility, control, and power over how his or her Internet services behave.
How is this accomplished? The root physical server is multiplexed or
"partitioned" into many Virtual Servers. Each Virtual Server can be configured
and customized at the discretion of the client.
In contrast, a true Virtual Server environment gives you full access to the software
resources and affords you complete flexibility, control, and power over how your Internet
Services behave. |
