How Do Virtual Private Servers Work?

The appellation "Virtual Private Server" refers to a server virtualization technology, which permits a single physical machine to be split into a few virtual ones. On a virtual private server, you can work independently of the others. You can pick an Operating System and, owing to the root privileges you get, you can install your own software configurations.

With Step2Ray's Website Hosting, you can choose between KVM and OpenVZ VPS hosting packages. Based on the chosen server virtualization technology, your VPS server hosting package will come with the SolusVM Admin Panel, which will enable you to restart your VPS hosting server at any particular moment, keep an eye on the resource consumption and check your web traffic statistics. What's more, with any of the virtual private servers packages offered by Step2Ray's Website Hosting, you will get the Hepsia hosting Control Panel for free.
