Advanced VPS Features
A VPS shows many advantages over standard shared hosting, but the core functionality can be similar. You still get access to a state of the art control panel. You still
get to put your website up on the Internet using technologies such as FTP and Microsoft® Frontpage®. You get to password protect folders. You get to create
multiple email addresses. In essence, nothing really special about those features, you get them with most if not all hosting packages available in the market place today.
So where does the VPS really score? Below is a list of the advanced features you will get with your VPS. Some of these features may well be available in a
standard hosting package (maybe at extra cost) but many will be impossible to find in a shared hosting environment, and that is where the VPS comes into its own.
You get all this:
- Your own fixed IP address (more if required)
- Full root access using SSH or SFTP
- Full administrator access to the control panel (Plesk)
- Advanced Control Panel features (Virtuozzo Power Panel)
- Create IP Tables rules (firewall)
- Modify the system configuration
- Create sub hosting (reseller) accounts
- Manage DNS and MX records
- Compile new software
- Automated daily backups
- Run your own custom control panel
- Perform software development
- Full root access to MySQL
- Reboot your server when you like
- Rebuild your server from scratch
- Start and stop services
- Ability to run tens or hundreds of websites
So you see, a VPS is quite a power tool! But with all these features, it is very easy to run. In fact, you could pretty much run your VPS without even looking
at the SSH shell. You get a complimentary copy of the Plesk control panel which makes setting up and running web sites a doddle. Altogether, it is hard to
find fault with a Virtuozzo based VPS hosting server. So why not try it out today.
