VPS server hosting
In the following article I will try to explain in simple terms what VPS server hosting means.
The above storage method is also commonly referred to as cloud server storage.
This is actually a computing system in the familiar format of processors, storage disks, RAM, and the like,
As with any normal, standard computer. But in the case of cloud computing, we are talking about huge volumes of hundreds and even thousands of terabytes of disk space, hundreds and even thousands of processors, the same goes for RAM, and so on.
Which means it is a huge, strong and powerful computer.
How cloud computing works
Cloud computing is powered by software with an operating system license that allows the distribution of the aforementioned vast computing array across an infinite number of operating systems, such as VMware.
The computing system is usually divided into as many servers as necessary, with a separate and independent operating system for each server.
The same goes for the server resources allocated to each operating system.
And now you have a virtual server or VPS server or cloud server storage.
Ultimately, it is a huge computing system that is completely physical with processors, disks, etc.,
But the software installed on it, such as VMware, allows for the virtual distribution of an infinite number of virtual operating systems on the same computing system.
Cloud computing location
The physical location of a cloud computing system can be anywhere in the world, but of course it needs to be placed in communication cabinets where there is enormous bandwidth connected to the central avenue of the global Internet.
Typically, virtual server hosting in Israel is physically located in one of the large server farms such as:
Partner, Bezeq in Neaumi, Netvision, and so on.
Storage is carried out in large storage cabinets, which house the hardware, disk arrays, etc.
Such server farms are usually equipped with the best technology, high security, and the like.
Advantages of having a virtual server / cloud server
As a business owner or an individual, the advantages of having a virtual server rather than a physical server are many.
First, the silence from dealing with hardware, because there is no longer any concern or responsibility on your part as a server owner about what will happen if a motherboard, hard drive, processor, etc., fails.
All hardware issues for a virtual server are the responsibility of the cloud storage company, the one that provides you with the virtual server.
The same applies to the operating system and licensing, which you will receive legally and directly from the cloud computing company that is the VPS server provider for that business or individual.
Also, the level of response and recovery in the event of a malfunction is very effective and also fast.
Each virtual server is backed up on a daily basis, usually to an external backup server.
The backup is at the file level. Yes, one file per server that includes all the data, operating system, and settings.
The same virtual server backup file can be retrieved from backup within a few minutes or hours, depending on the size of the server.
Amazing, comfortable and extremely effective.
Virtual server upgrade
Upgrading a virtual server is done easily and in just a few minutes.
Almost any server level/upgrade needed by the server operator client can be reached with the click of a button.
Memory: From 1GB to 262GB RAM – huge!
Processors: From 1 processor core of 2666 MHz to 64 processor cores which is 170666 MHz – crazy!
SSD disk capacity: Same as above, hundreds of gigabytes.
And more….
VPS server costs
Costs are definitely cheap for a virtual server in the cloud.
A physical server may cost thousands of dollars to purchase + all the disadvantages mentioned above.
A virtual server is cheaper, usually paid for by a retainer and includes professional support as part of server hosting services.
So it turns out that the era of the physical server is over and now the era of the virtual server in the cloud has arrived.
The advantages undoubtedly outweigh the disadvantages by a large margin.
- In conclusion, before switching to a virtual server, it is recommended to consult with a professional server company and obtain an expert’s opinion.
