Optimizing Performance of your Virtual Private Server

VPS are the latest range of hosting products that have taken the market by storm, since they are a cheaper alternative to Dedicated Servers because of their ability to provide you with a dedicated environment such as that provided by a dedicated servers but at a fraction of the price; this means that they are a fill in for the large price gap that sites between regular shared and reseller hosting packages and dedicated servers. VPS are able to run any type of software as long as its compatible with the specifications of the VPS, since you are installing the software within your own dedicated environment which means that any actions which you carry out on your VPS Hosting are unable to affect the other VPS which are hosted on the same node as you; this means that you are able to use your VPS Hosting service for a variety of purposes, just as long as the programs which you want to use are unable to conflict with each other since this would mean that your VPS would crash easily and neither of the conflicting programs would be unable to function correctly within your VPS Hosting.

When you are first provided with your VPS, you might find that there are already certain applications installed on it which you might want to remove since they might not serve any purpose to you because they are not the right programs for you; by removing these programs you are also ensuring that you don’t have unneeded programs on your VPS server which are taking up disk space and memory which might be better used by another program that you already have installed on your VPS or by one which you are wanting to install on your VPS so that you can use it for what you want. An important thing to consider is that with the more programs that you install on your VPS hosting, the slower that it is likely to become, meaning that you should always consider carefully the programs that you want to install on your VPS hosting since you don’t want to install programs that you don’t need since they will be taking up needed disk space and memory, as well as CPU if they are to be running as well; this means that if you do want to use your VPS for multiple purposes, then you should consider buying multiple VPS hosting plans for your needs since it means that you will be able to run all your services plus more if you have multiple VPS hosting plans that you are able to use.

You should always optimize your VPS hosting as well as the programs that you have installed on it to ensure that you are able to achieve the best possible performance from it, since if your VPS is slow and in some cases unusable then you should consider finding another web host or ask to be moved to a different node since you don’t want to be paying for a slow VPS hosting service; you will be able to notice a performance increase in both terms of the programs that you have installed on your VPS as well as in the VPS itself - you might even be able to install another couple of programs if you are able to get your VPS to function with speed with the existing programs that you have installed on your VPS Hosting.

It is also important that you check the performance of your VPS at regular intervals - especially the amount of disk space and RAM which you have free, as well as the average CPU utilization if your VPS; these three factors are the main ones which should always be checked since they are the three different main resources that programs utilize when they are running - they use CPU to carry out their main operations, RAM to temporarily store program related data and disk space to place their main files to ensure that they can run without any problems. If you find that either of the main resources are being utilized too much then you should consider uninstalling the offending program or even upgrading your VPS hosting package to the next higher one that is provided by your web hosting company; although upgrading your VPS will mean more money, the benefits to you in the long term will be far better than the negatives which could affect you if you don’t upgrade, and uninstalling the offending program might prove to be inconvenient for you since it might be one of the main programs that you use on your VPS.

Apache/HTTPD

Apache is the world’s most popular web server, and has a large market share of over 50% - it is also referred to sometimes as ‘HTTPD’ since this is the name of its host process when run on a Linux distribution; Apache is known to be a large resource hogger since there are many modifications and add-ons which you can use to expand its use and capabilities, although these can in some cases add to the low performance of Apache on a VPS when someone using it has not optimized it correctly to reduce its resource usage. If you are planning to use Apache on a system in conjunction with other programs, especially other resource hoggers such as MySQL, it is important that you optimize Apache to ensure that it uses as little resources as possible since it could end up affecting the overall performance of your VPS server, and in some cases might even lead to your VPS server crashing; a crashing VPS is the last thing you ant since it will affect your overall uptime, and if you are using your VPS to host other people’s website whether they be friends or clients, they will start to get annoyed if their website is online and offline at intermittent times since it means that people accessing their websites when they are down will not be able to do so.

The first factor for Apache that you should consider when optimizing it to run better on your VPS is whether you want to load certain modules dynamically or to make them static; this factor is an important one to consider since if you dynamically load modules, then you will be able to cut down the amount of memory which is used by Apache, since modules will only be loaded when they are needed, since if you were to make modules static then they will be running all the time along with Apache meaning that the amount of memory used will be more constant but is more likely to be higher than if you were to make modules load dynamically when they were needed. If you have multiple modules attached to your Apache install, then you should consider optimizing the configuration files of these modules to ensure that they are able to run efficiently just as Apache will be able to once you have made the necessary changes to its configuration files as well as other files that it is based on to ensure that it uses less of your VPS’s resources; by modifying and optimizing the configuration files of modules that you have installed for use with Apache, you are able to ensure that the modules concerned will be using up less resources than they would have been if they were not optimized to operate in a more controlled and less resource intensive way.

You can modify modules all you want to ensure that you reduce the amount of resources which are used by them, however, you should always optimize your actual Apache install since this is where the largest amount of resources can be saved then you get around to finishing your VPS optimization work; the most basic way to improve Apache’s performance to ensure that it isn’t using so much of your system’s resources is to clean up the main configuration file by simply removing a few commented lines which can benefit you hugely since it means that several hundred unneeded directives will no longer be used whilst Apache is running which in turn allows both your VPS server and Apache to run faster - after that you can then move on to uninstalling certain elements and other parts of Apache that do not benefit you in any way since they may not be used and might be taking up needed resources.

One final method that you can use to reduce Apache’s resource usage within your VPS server is to disable certain parts of it which you might not want to use at this point in time, but might come in useful at a point in the future; if you find that there are certain components within Apache that you don’t need and feel that they might be using up a certain amount of your VPS’s resources, then you should consider removing them - it is suggested that you disable Apache logs since they are a time consuming Apache process and when they are being written, Apache tends to use up quite a bit of memory which is the reason why you should disable them unless you absolutely need them.

MySQL

MySQL is arguably the world’s most popular open source database system, for the main reason that it can be easily integrated with PHP based websites and applications to ensure maximum use of it; it is also commonly used in conjunction with the resource hogging Apache web server, which means that with MySQL and Apache running at their best on a lower specification VPS Hosting plan, you will find that you will be running into problems whether it be either of them crashing or your entire VPS crashing since your resources are just being exhausted by both programs.

If you are using a website which is based on a MySQL database, then you should certainly consider optimizing MySQL since you want your web pages to load as fast as possible, and if MySQL itself isn’t functioning all that fast then you shouldn’t expect your web pages to be loading quickly either; this is because if your website is waiting for access to a MySQL database, then your website will load at the speed which is dictated by how fast MySQL is running - for example if MySQL is running and processing queries slowly then your website will load slowly since it isn’t able to gather the necessary information from the database which is trying to be accessed, and if your website fails to access the database at all then you might find that your website’s visitors are being presented with error messages from the web server that you are using.

One of the main things you can do to ensure that MySQL is able to run fast and effectively within your VPS is to ensure that MySQL has its dynamic durability settings enabled - this will mean setting a certain value for the ‘innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit‘ option which is located within the MySQL configuration file; there are 3 main values which you are able to change this option to, these are: 0 - with this value, Innodb will flush the log approximately once per second, 1 - this should be chosen if you have high durability requirements since log records will be automatically pushed to the disk on transaction commit, 2 - this will ensure that data is flushed to the operating system cache. If you have not installed MySQL yet, then there are certain options which you should consider changing once you have installed it within your VPS Hosting environment. The first option which you should consider changing is ‘key_buffer size‘; this option can end up taking up as much as 30-40% of the memory which you have available on your VPS, although this is only really applicable if you have chosen to use MyISAM tables within your MySQL database server setup to serve your website. Another option which you should consider changing is ‘innodb_buffer_pool_size‘; this option is only applicable to you if your tables are using the Innodb framework since they are much more sensitive to the buffer pool size than MyISAM tables are.

Conclusion

In conclusion, with the optimization of both the Apache web server and the MySQL database server which you will most likely have installed on your VPS server, you can easily reduce the amount of resources used on your VPS meaning that your websites will be able to load fast, and that you have the space to install more programs to expand the uses of your VPS if you feel the need to; by having a faster VPS, you are also able to ensure that your VPS will be up more than it would be if more resources were being used and you weren’t able to cut down on its resource usage.

It is apparent that with optimized Apache performance that there are probably components and modules which you have attached to your Apache installation which aren’t necessarily needed and might be using up resources which you could otherwise be using for other programs which you have installed on your VPS server; this means that you should always check and optimize the different parts of your Apache installation to ensure that there aren’t any components or modules installed and running which you don’t necessarily need on your VPS server.

Another improvement which has been discussed is how your databases will be able to be accessed quicker since MySQL will be optimized to run faster but at the same time use less resources which means that both you and your server will benefit. It has also been shown that with optimized Apache and MySQL installations, you are able to cut down the amount of time that it takes for your website to load for your visitors at their computers, meaning that you might even want to consider making your web pages more graphic heavy for example if you want to take advantage of the faster loading times; however, a faster loading CMS based website will only be achieved with optimization of both applications, whereas a static website will only need an optimized Apache installation since static pages don’t need to and are unable to access any sort of database application, even if it is installed on the same machine as the static page is being hosted on.

Clustered website hosting is a type of hosting which involves multiple servers for the same task, and is generally seen as a more reliable type of hosting over standard shared website hosting. With clustered web hosting, all website services are ‘load balanced’ across multiple servers to ensure that the best redundancy possible is achieved; security resources and other standard features are also spread across multiple servers. No human interaction is required for the clustered hosting system to work; this is because most clustered hosting platforms are data driven in some way or another. Most clustered hosting services suffer no downtime because if one server within the cluster fails, there is multiple servers to take over its role; if downtime is ever experienced with clustered website hosting, the reason is normally because there has been a major problem with either the power or the network at the data centre in which the clustered setup - although both instances of fault are very rare. Most clustered setups are normally continually monitored, so if a server does happen to malfunction or face an error of sorts, an on-site network team or support team from the web host will be quickly dispatched to ensure that the problem is fixed quickly and effectively; there are also normally automated systems in place to ensure that the cluster isn’t affected if it is missing a server or two, but in most cases the end-users will not see any problems. Clustered hosting is seen as a solution for businesses and large corporations who require an update percentage which is near to or equals to 100%; this is because although clustered hosting does come at a cost, it is one that is cheaper than a dedicated server - one other thing to note is that the reliability of dedicated servers is not as good as clustered hosting, although some individuals think the opposite.

Virtualization

Clustered hosting could also be seen as a type of virtual website hosting; this is because the actual system is in a sense ‘virtualized’ because of the number of servers that are clustered together. To ensure reliability, and to allow clustered website hosting to achieve its job, websites and services related to the hosted websites are always spread across multiple servers; the systems are ‘load balanced’ to ensure that websites are always available since load balancing makes the use of the server which is being used at the given time of the request for any service - it goes one step further from redundancy since normal redundancy just makes the use of several servers, but does not spread the information out to ensure the maximum reliability is achieved. An example of load balancing would be an end user requesting a page on a website which is hosted on a clustered hosting service; all the web servers within the cluster are too busy serving other websites, so the user is served the web page from a server which is currently free and not serving too many visitors, it also has a low CPU usage at this point because it is not being utilized much. Some web hosts allow you to purchase power for your website; what is meant by power is ‘CPU’ or ‘RAM’, this is because a clustered server pool is a more or less infinite source of resources, and is perfect if you are unable to afford a dedicated server which can match the specifications and reliability of clustered website hosting.

Security

With standard shared website hosting, the security which is provided on both the hosting node and the network is pretty poor when compared to that of a standard clustered website hosting network. In most cases, a standard shared hosting network incorporates a basic hardware firewall as the main line of security to keep a number of server secure; after that layer of security it is then down to security software installed on the servers to fight back any attack or to stop any intruder from accessing the server and compromising any information that it hosts. With a clustered hosting network, the security is normally much more stronger as a series of hardware firewalls as well as redundant proxy, routing and switching technology to ensure that the network is both fast and secure; intelligent routing can help load balance information across multiple servers, along with the use of VPNs and proxies the intelligent routing is also able to bind more than one server to just one IP address to ensure that if one server on one IP does go down, there is a number of other servers to take over its role. This type of network architecture can benefit both the servers and their users / websites that they host during a DDos attack; this is because the attack is being dispersed amongst a large pool of servers in which it is having no effect, when the attack is aimed at one piece of equipment, that piece autmatically stops serving traffic because it is unable to take the strain.

High Availability Cluster

A high availability cluster is one that makes use of several physical hosting nodes with a goal of achieving a reliable network for a certain service which it has been built to host. High availability clusters are normally deployed for things such as file sharing, business class enterprises, customer services (specifically e-commerce websites) and mission-critical databases; all these types of business related IT activities are of the utmost importance for some companies and it is important that the information for them can be accessed when needed, this is the reason for deploying a high availability cluster to host them - albeit at a high cost. The automation processes involved are fairly complicated; nodes have the ability to start services on each other if the service concerned has gone down on another node - they can also carry out the appropriate processes automatically in order to start a service if needed, such as the importing and mounting of file systems. However ‘good’ this high availability may seem, the automation processes involved in it can easily cause problems; for example if the private ‘heart beat’ connection between the nodes goes down, then each node could think that every other node is down when in fact they aren’t and lead to an instance of a service being started although that service is the responsibility of another node - this could lead to data corruption, or even worse: data loss. Implementations of high availability clusters are sometimes put in to increase the reliability of a regular cluster; via the use of things such as storage area networks (SANs) and the erradication of single points of failure; multiple network connections are also used to ensure that there is always at least one connection route available, even if one does fail. Most nodes take advantage of a number of technologies to ensure that they can provide the utmost best reliability. Hard disk wise, they take advantage of disk mirroring meaning that if one internal disk does fail, another internal disk which is a mirror of the main one can take over to ensure that the server carries on running - the technical term for this is RAID (’Redudant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks’). Redundant network connections are also utilized to ensure that if one switch or network interface card fails, there will be another one network switch or network interface card available to ensure that the node stays connected to both the network and the internet. Most of the storage on a clustered network is taken care of by networked storage devices; multiple connections to the storage area network are also used to ensure that files can always be accessed. Multiple power connections are also available for servers via the use of UPS and diesel generators which can be used in the event of a power outage of sorts. The use of multiple connections and other devices ensures that even in the event of connections going because of a fault, the cluster will still be able to operate.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Reseller Hosting

If you are a small web host utilizing the services of another web host, or are a website designer who is also hosting their clients websites, then you will most likely have a reseller hosting package to enable you to do this; the basic concept of reseller website hosting is to allow you to setup your own web hosting packages which you can then apply to new domains, allowing you to host multiple websites each with their own client accounts under one, easily manageable website hosting account. Reseller website hosting is a form of shared website hosting, since the server on which you and your client websites are being hosted is most likely shared with other reseller hosting accounts, and in some situations might also be shared with standard shared website hosting accounts; this means that the reliability of standard reseller hosting in some cases is similar or the same to that of standard shared website hosting, meaning that if you are upgrading from shared website hosting to reseller hosting, you might not notice an increase in performance or reliability, especially if you are staying with the same web host.

However, reseller hosting accounts are normally quite feature rich since they are hosted on shared hosting servers, allowing you to provide your hosting clients with choice as to what they want to do with their domain and hosting account, and to also allow them to administrate their website and domain in ways which might not have been possible previously; this means that you can advertise your hosting accounts with more features, making them more attractive to people who are new to the world of website hosting, and are looking for the best value for money package that they can find. Feature rich web hosting packages are what people look for, so by supplying your clients with web hosting packages that have more features than any other web hosts provide, people looking for hosting in general will be more tempted towards your hosting products, since they will be able to see that you are providing more features than other web hosting companies; as mentioned previously, it is value for money at the end of the day which people look for, and you are fulfilling this criteria by providing feature packed website hosting packages.

Reseller hosting is idea for those who want to get started within the web hosting market, since the cost and flexibility of it allows you to seamlessly expand your business without the extra need or cost of VPS or dedicated servers to fulfill the requests of your clients; this is because most reseller hosting accounts are hosted on high specification web hosting servers, meaning that your clients will experience the utmost reliability, and at the same time you can expand your business via the means of upgrading your reseller account to a higher level one - this means that the costs will be far less than if you were to purchase a VPS or dedicated server to help your business expand.

By starting off on a reseller hosting package, you are able to ensure that you are only paying for what you need, since you won’t need anything near the resources provided by VPS and dedicated servers if you are starting out in the web hosting business - this also means that you are able to receive support for your account which might not be possible on higher end accounts, since it might be taken for granted that you have the necessary knowledge; you can also gradually expand your business on standard reseller web hosting by upgrading your package, and when the time comes for it you can easily upgrade to a VPS or dedicated server.

With a reseller package, you have complete control over the packages that you create for your clients including what features are included with each package, you also have the ability to effectively manage all the accounts that you are hosting underneath your reseller account; all these put together means that you can easily manage your reseller hosting account, much in the way that you would be able to with a VPS or dedicated server - albeit at a fraction of the cost of both, meaning that you are getting value for money with your reseller website hosting account.

Advantages of Reseller Hosting

Reseller hosting provides both beginners who want to start their own website hosting business as well as professionals who have experience with web hosting many different advantages, meaning that it is a type of web hosting which is made for use by almost anyone. The fact that reseller hosting is cheaper than both VPS and dedicated servers, but provides resellers with the same types of features means that it is a cheaper alternative to those who want to host multiple websites under one website hosting account, so that they can easily manage them.

Cost

As mentioned previously, reseller hosting packages are the perfect solution for those who wish to host multiple websites under one account so that they can be managed easily, since they are cheaper than both VPS and dedicated servers that provides web hosting resellers with more or less the same features, meaning that there isn’t much difference between the two.

Although reseller hosting accounts are normally hosted on shared website hosting servers with shared website hosting accounts as well as other reseller hosting accounts, the servers themselves are normally of high specification meaning that your websites should still be reliable even though they are hosted within a shared website hosting environment; this means that if you are wanting reliability but are unable to afford a VPS or dedicated server which you can mange yourself, you can still take out a standard reseller hosting account since the reliability that you will experience will be similar if not better to that which is provided by VPS and dedicated servers.

If you have a budget that allows you to purchase a small and reasonably specified VPS server, then you will most likely be able to purchase a high specification reseller hosting plan that should allow you to host many if not unlimited websites; although some web hosts may advertise the ability to host an unlimited number of websites, you are still limited by the amount of disk space and bandwidth that you have assigned to your reseller hosting account for you to then assign to your own hosting clients.

The cost of a standard reseller hosting plan also covers support, which means that if you face any type of problem whether it be linked to the server on which you are hosted, or with one of your websites, you should be able to receive support when you need to ensure that your websites are always up and accessible as to ensure that your clients are happy with the service that you are providing them yourself - e.g. if you have a problem with a script on your website, then your web host might be able to help you to sort that problem so that you are able to run the script or web page concerned without any problems.

With the ability to control and create your own web hosting packages, you are able to create your own marketable packages based around the features and specifications that you would like to offer to customers, as well as how many clients that you are able to host under your standard reseller hosting account; the number of clients that you are able to host under your accounts is in relation to your packages since you are limited by the amount of disk space and bandwidth that you have assigned to your reseller hosting account. So, if you have a budget which will allow you to purchase a small VPS then you should also be able to purchase a reasonably specified reseller hosting account which should fulfill your needs both practically and reliability wise for the long term when compared to a small or unreasonably specified VPS or dedicated server.

Support

Support with a standard reseller hosting account is better and much more openly available you might find than with a VPS or dedicated server, meaning that if you are new to the concept of web hosting or reseller hosting then it would be wise to purchase a reseller hosting package before upgrading to something more professional such as a VPS or dedicated server.

With VPS and dedicated servers, hosting companies take it for granted that you have the appropriate knowledge to enable you to effectively manage and administrate a VPS or dedicated server effectively, since you have knowingly taken out a plan which requires you to have a certain amount of knowledge to allow you to manage your server without any help from your web host; in the case of standard reseller hosting, your account is hosted on a shared hosting server with other reseller hosting account and shared hosting accounts alongside yours meaning that the level of support that you receive should be better, since your web host will want to make sure that the server on which you are hosted is running normally and that no accounts are affecting the server’s performance.

Unlike a VPS or dedicated server, the administration of the server on which your reseller account will be hosted should be taken care of by the support team of your web host, meaning that it should be much more secure and up to date in terms of the software being used than a VPS or dedicated server would be; on the other hand, the administration of a VPS or dedicated server is left down to you, since your web host will take it for granted that you have the necessary knowledge needed in order to ensure that your server is up to date and secure that all times from any type of external threat such as a malicious attacker, i.e. a hacker. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to aid you in the administration of a VPS or dedicated server, you should consider taking out a reseller hosting account since you will then be able to ensure that you have a guaranteed ‘cushion’ of support to aid you in times when you might need some sort of help with your reseller hosting account; with a VPS or dedicated server, you will in some cases have that ‘cushion’ of support that you are able to use in the situation that you need to desperately do something to your server, but might not be able to because you don’t have the necessary knowledge or your server is restricting you from carry out the required actions on your behalf.

In some cases, you might purchase a reseller account with a web host that doesn’t provide resellers with any support beyond the actual server itself, meaning that if you have some sort of problem with your account and not the server you are on, you won’t be able to receive any support from the web host that you have purchased your reseller account from; this also means that if you have any other queries regarding your reseller account, you might not be able to get them answered - this means that this type of reseller account isn’t right for those who don’t have much knowledge about web hosting in general.

Disadvantages of Reseller Hosting

Although reseller website hosting accounts might seem like the perfect website hosting solution for some, for others they might not be and might prove to provide disadvantages for those people who aren’t suited towards a standard reseller website hosting account. For example, those who wish to host many sites that are resource intensive might not find that reseller website hosting is for them, since many web hosts don’t take kindly to users who are hosting resource hogging websites since it slows down the server in general, which can leave other customers unhappy since they aren’t able to load their own websites at a respectable speed - in this case a web host would most likely suspend your reseller hosting account.

Sharing the Server With Others

One of the main disadvantages of reseller website hosting is that you have to share the hosting server with others, including standard shared website hosting accounts and other reseller website hosting accounts; this means that the websites which you host under your standard reseller website hosting account have the ability to be affected by these other websites, which could result in slow loading times and websites not loading at all, meaning that if the websites which you are hosting are commercial ones, they could lose trade if they are not available or accessible.

If resource intensive websites are being hosted on the same server as your reseller hosting account, you might notice that the server itself is being slow which might occur to you as a slow loading website, or you might not be able to carry out certain tasks through the control panel that you have been provided to manage your reseller account, since there just aren’t enough server resources for the requested task to be carried out; in this case you should contact the support team at your web host, so that they are able to suspend the resource intensive accounts and so that the issue can be sorted out quickly and easily, so that you are affected as little as possible.

Shared and reseller website hosting servers are open to abuse, since most hosts setup both types of web hosting account on the same servers, meaning that if a rogue shared website hosting account destined for spamming, the performance of all the websites that are hosted on the server concerned will be compromised, and the spammer will most likely go over his bandwidth limit as well which could have an adverse affect on the server and the websites that it hosts; also, if a hosting account on a server happens to host a compromised server side script, then the security of the entire server and all the websites that it hosts could be compromised - if you are hosting multiple websites, this is not something that you want since your reputation within the hosting business is also something that could be damaged.

In the case that you are affected by other users that are hosted on the same web hosting server as you, you should consider asking your web host to move you to another server which isn’t affected and is still reliable with the service that it provides, since you don’t want your websites to be down for too long since this could also have an adverse affect on you and your business if your clients are unhappy with the service that they are receiving; if this fails then you should consider moving to a VPS or dedicated server, or even another web host just as long as you aren’t being affected by the actions of others, and that your websites are all online and running smoothly. If you want your websites to have the utmost reliability, then you should consider moving to a VPS or dedicated server, since in a dedicated environment it is more or less impossible for your server and websites to be affected by the actions of others, since you aren’t sharing the server with others as you are with standard reseller web hosting.

Server Flexibility

Unlike VPS and dedicated server hosting, you don’t have flexibility with reseller hosting since as mentioned previously, you are sharing the hosting server with others which can in turn affect the performance of your websites overall. With reseller hosting, you don’t have the greatest flexibility since you don’t have access to the main hosting server which means that you aren’t able to customize the server to work in the way that you want it to, it also means that you are unable to install any programs of your choice which might aid any websites which you want to host; for example, a website that you are creating might need the use of a certain server side component, with a standard reseller hosting account you wouldn’t be able to install that component if it isn’t part of the server configuration, meaning that you would have to upgrade to a VPS or dedicated server in order to be able to install the component that you need to make the website that you are creating function correctly.

Also, with no access to the main server, if any problems come up with the main server that aren’t fixed then you aren’t able to login to the main server in order to fix them yourself, which in most cases can cause distress to some, especially with those web hosts who take their time to fix things since this can have an adverse business affect for those who are hosted on the server concerned; in this case you should request to be moved to another server so that you aren’t being affected, or upgrade to a VPS or dedicated server that you can manage yourself.

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you want to host many websites and want reliability then reseller website hosting is the right type of web hosting for you, just as long as you take out a reseller hosting package with a host that had a good reputation for uptime and reliability, amongst other factors that you should always consider when looking for a reseller host; this is because reseller website hosting can be more reliable than higher end solutions such as VPS and dedicated servers, although this is mainly dependent on the specification of the server that your account is hosted on as well as the specification of the VPS or dedicated server to which it is being compared.

If you run your own small web hosting business, then reseller hosting might also be the right type of hosting for you as it might also be for people who do web design but also host their creations for their clients in some situations, since the support provided for standard reseller hosting should be more than suitable for people in these kind of situations; this means that if you experience any kind of problem with your reseller hosting account, you should be able to receive an acceptable level of support and service from your web host to ensure that the problem concerned can be solved quickly and efficiently to ensure that yourself and other people hosted on the same server as you are not directly affect for too long an amount of time. So, if you want to host multiple websites but don’t have the biggest of budgets and also think that a VPS or dedicated server might be a bit too advance for your current needs, then you might find that reseller website hosting is the right type of website hosting for you!

Dedicated Hosting reduces your need to share hardware or software with other websites on a server. Users get the option to install which software they want and also provides secure environment for their site. If you compare shared hosting with a dedicated environment, Dedicated Hosting offers more reliability on a server in a much secured manner.

One of the drawbacks in dedicated hosting is the cost of the server but it’s declining day by day. There is a continuous growth in the Dedicated hosting industry as a result the rates of the servers declining. This is mainly due to the increase in the online presence of small and mid-sized businesses which has increased the level of service and same way decreased the costs of server

*Control and Reliability - Major Assets of Dedicated Server

-Since the user has more control over a Dedicated server it is more secured as compared to shared web server. The user is able to make changes and updates on software installed on a server as he has full root access to the dedicated web server. This helps to run a server smoothly in its most optimal configuration.

-Reliability is the another most important asset of Dedicated Server Hosting. The user is able to optimize page loads by means of page load speed and allocation of resources on server.This leads to customer satisfaction which also increases the goals of website’s presence.
