Virtual Dedicated Server
Apr 15, 2009
What is the difference between virtual dedicated server and a dedicated server?
I know that a dedicated server means you have the physical computer as your server whileas virtual dedicated server means that they separate the physical computer into various parts and you have control over one of those separated parts.
But my question is mainly on the functionality of a virtual dedicated server and a dedicated server.
What can you do on a dedicated server that you can't do on a virtual dedicated server?

I would like to understand what is the difference between VPS and a VDS. I understand they sound the same, however from a cost stand point VPS is way cheaper than VDS, and I am not very sure of the reason.

At the moment I run a small membership site. The site mainly consists of creating, downloading a lot of files using fwrite (Based on what the user enters).
Last months stats were just under 30GB of data transferred.
I'm currently with HostGator Business Plan ($12.99/month).
I run a LOT of database connections per minute. I am looking to increase the size of my membership site at which point it will be likely that I am running at least 1 DB connection per second.
Can anyone recommend me a decent priced VPS/Dedicated server for my needs?
The usage will probably be around 50GB/month.
HostGator have shutdown my site a couple times last month due to excessive number of running processes (Limited to 25) so I have decided to leave them.

what hosts are considered the best for virtual dedicated servers.
I know about the big names like GoDaddy and Yahoo, but who really has the best service and (importantly) the best price/value?
Heres what I need power-wise: Something that offers 2GB+ of RAM to me, 20GB+ Hard Drive space, and something thats running on Windows. I intend to run 3 e-commerce sites off this, so if you think I need more power please recommend it.

In order to test a web site's performance in conditions close to the planned ones, I would like to run a Virtual Dedicated Server on my desktop Win XP Pro PC (AMD Athlon 3500+, 2Gb RAM).
The most basic approximate parameters for the VDS can be as follows:
- CPU: 400MHz
- RAM: 256 Mb
Guest OS - Linux (e.g. CentOS)
Can someone here recommend me a piece of software (both free and paid) allowing to run a guest system and set the abovementioned limits?

Is it a good idea to "Split" my dedicated into a couple of different VPS's?
1. My sites and hosting "Company" site.
2. Customers sites.
Would this be the best? I was thinking of putting the companies site on a separate VPS so that a malicious user can't use php to exploit the billing system. (I know it would be ideal to have 2 dedicated servers, 1 for customers, 1 for company, but that just isn't possible right now).

Whats the easiest way to create a private server within a dedicated server running cpanel/WHM/Fantastico?
I need to allow this 'virtual server', to host up to 10 domains, and for them to use their own nameservers, not the ones used on my dedicated server.
I have 2 IPs to spare, but I have no idea on how to do this.
Any help is much appreciated, or if you can guide me on where to get info on this.
i need this new reseller NOT to be identified with my own server (IPs)

I am currently using a shared hosting but due to increasing traffic and server load my existing host is not able to provide reliable services and I am planning to upgrade my hosting service.
While I was searching for Dedicated Servers, I learnt about Virtual Dedicated Servers but I am not very sure about their reliability? Are Virtual Dedicated Servers useful? My website current serves over 2500-3000 visitors a day resulting in 30,000 pageviews and I am expecting the traffic to grow by atleast 2 folds in the next few months as I start some PPC campaigns and Email Marketing for my website. Can a Virtual Dedicated Server cater such needs assuming my website to be more of less dynamic website written in php?

Not sure what is the difference exactly. What is the most preferred hosting for a reseller business? What is the best option for forums and blogs?

I am still in the process of narrowing down and picking a VPS provider for a couple of my higher traffic/resource sites.
As hard as I search, I can't seem to find an honest (aka non-sponsored, non-affiliate) review of MediaTemple's offering. They call it DV instead of VPS, my guess is just to be different.

let me say that my opinion may not be popular but I am very comfortable as a GoDaddy customer.
I currently have a virtual dedicated server and am a newbie when it comes to linux management.
I am contemplating moving to a shared hosting account since the servers are preconfigured. My concern is slowing down the site.
Our site currently receives 1,700+ visitors per day since it was launched a month ago. We expect this to at least increase to 10,000+ per day.
Does a chart exist to say something like if you have this many visitors then this is what time of hosting account you should have?

I have several small websites that I currently host with HostGator without any issues (although I wish customer service was better).
The websites are very small and currently don't require any significant disk space or bandwidth requirements (we currently have less than 10.000 visitors every month).
The problem I currently have is that these websites were all set up in different accounts which are a pain to manage and probably more expensive than required.
We plan to grow both in number of websites and bandwidth capacity requirements in the near future.
I have come to two options: Stay with Hostgator and get a reseller account( http://www.hostgator.com/resellers<dot>shtml ), or switch to MediaTemple and get a dedicated-virtual account ( http://www.mediatemple<dot>net/webhosting/dv/ ) (I have heard good things about MediaTemple).
Can you guys suggest which option would be better? Or a different one? Below are the characteristics I'm looking at.
Price - As long as it’s within market standards according to service I don't mind paying more for a better service. It is important that payment is easy from outside the US. Customer service - fast, effective, available 24x7. Ease of use / reseller - Easy to maintain several independent websites in a single plan. A plus if they have a good reseller setup.
Long term company stability and management - I wouldn’t like the company to disappear or be inconsistent in its business practices. I would like to avoid making changes in hosting provider.
Scalability - We shoot to grow and develop additional businesses that require more capacity. Don't want to change later of host provider when this happens.
Security - Known reliability of external attacks and good backup model Known reliability running the latest version of Drupal and Expression Engine.

I have heard of virtualization of many dedicated servers. My understanding is that it makes best use of hardware like CPU,bandwidth,RAM etc.

how's media temple these days?
In particular the grid service.
Does their service stay up? How often is it down? I heard a lot of horror stories back in the day, and went with another provider.
Sadly, my current provider has had a string of downtime each day and I'm looking to switch.
Before I go with another provider, i want to make sure that MT's grid service is good.
And how it would compare with their dedicated virtual service.
Especially when you consider their dedicated virtual service compared to the gs with a mysql container.

All three are the same company, just different instantiations.
I started with them with the cheapest VPS, upgraded to a bigger VPS and now went to a very affordable dedicated server.
Every request got a reasonable response in a reasonable amount of time (low priority stuff gets ignored on the weekend - urgent stuff gets a response within minutes; and even low priority stuff gets a response pretty darn quickly if posted during business hours).
There was a billing mixup - happens. I sent a support request, and with a couple of emails to get the facts straight the difference was credited back to my paypal account. Not just a credit to my account with them, actual money back.
Pricing is good (look for yourself virtual-dedicated.net for VPS and rackmounted.com for dedicated servers - don't have enough posts to actually post links or even real addresses, it seems... but I'm sure you can figure the addresses out...).
Even better, when I couldn't find something in my price range on their 'specials' page for dedicated servers I sent them an email, told them what I was looking for and they came back within minutes with exactly that at a rock bottom price that companies with rather bad reputations for their service can't beat.
I'm seriously impressed. If you are looking for hosting, whether VPS or dedicated, take a look. At the end of the day, it's all about the service.
I don't work for them, I don't get any compensation for this post, they didn't ask me to post this. Yadayadayada. I'm just a very happy customer. And that's a good thing.

How do I configure dedicated IP's on Virtual Machines running on a CentOS5 Host?
I installed VMWare Server 2 almost without a problem using no GUI, I now have the web interface for the VMWS2 and any machine I create and run on it seems to do so without a problem.
The thing is, I can't connect or know how to configure this virtual network so I end up using 2 dedicated IPs on the Virtual Machine.

I am a PHP/MySQL web developer and I want to take on the challenge of administering my own server.
I have Plesk installed on the server, and I imagine I will have command line access to the dedicated server.
What unknown challenges lie ahead for me? What are things to monitor to keep the site running efficiently? What should I be using to connect to the server? What tools are available to help me be more efficient?

I am currently with the planet and am happy with them, however as part of a new venture I need to gather a list of hosts as well as the planet that will be able to cater to the ventures needs and go to tender with the requirements.
ThePlanet offer something called a virtual rack. This is cheaper than renting a dedicated rack, allows for Gb networking but doesnt not allow for a SAN. Do other providers offer something similar? The cost of putting a machine on the virtual rack is not that much more expensive than just renting the machine. I guess there isn't too much to these set-ups to be fair.
If not, then we are looking for dedicated racks, with the ability to host a SAN at some point, but starting off with say 3 servers (2 web servers, 1 storage server with raid5 6Tb of hdd). These servers will be dealing with network cameras although I don't think that many will be streaming at once but the network capacity does need to be there.
Who's door should I be knocking on to find out some prices?
One final thing, should I bother looking for co-lo providers as well? We are in the Uk but not precious about our host being in the same country at all (it would be nice but uk prices are ££). Really, all we would be able to do with co-lo is buy the hardware outright to save price as we are not interested in looking after the hardware.

I've been doing some research and thought why not split the server into a bunch of virtual servers so I can offer both windows and linux hosting.
What is the best option for doing this?
I've come across VMware Server but also noticed centOS has "Virtualization provided by the Xen hypervisor with Virtual Machine Manager"
Assuming I go with splitting the server up, do I create a virtual centOS server and install cPanel on that one or on the main install?
Totally new to virtualization.

Just wanted to know how prevalent VS 2005 is now. We are basically virtualizing everything that moves as it is easier to upgrade to a new server and move the VPS around. Also we get to control the reboots etc.
