A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a type of web hosting that allows a user to access a virtual machine on a remote server.
Unlike regular web hosting where one physical server is shared by multiple websites, a virtual server allows the user to have their own virtual machine with individual resources (CPU, RAM, disk, network) on which they can install their own software and customize it to their needs.
What's good about a virtual server
A virtual server is a more flexible and scalable solution compared to regular web hosting and is commonly used for hosting websites, web applications, databases and other services.
A virtual server has a number of advantages:
- High reliability. They run on physical hardware that ensures data reliability and security.
- Flexibility of customization. A virtual server allows you to customize it for any needs, choosing the necessary resources and operating system.
- Budget savings. You can rent a server instead of buying expensive equipment.
- Scalability. Virtual server resources can be easily expanded or reduced, depending on changes in business needs.
- High Performance. A virtual server provides high performance by leveraging physical hardware and optimizing resources.
Difference from a physical server
A virtual server (VPS) differs from a physical server in that:
- it is hosted on a physical server where other virtual servers can be hosted;
- resources (memory, CPU time, disk space) are allocated from a common pool and can be redistributed between virtual servers;
- runs on a virtualization software platform that provides data and resource isolation in each of the virtual machines;
- has the ability to scale resources based on project needs;
- has the reliability, security and flexibility to allow administrators to respond quickly to changes in server performance.
Rent virtual and dedicated servers - an option for those cases when the project has already outgrown the capabilities of conventional hosting, but it is impractical to buy and configure a server (modular or mobile data center).
Features of virtualization
Hosting companies offer tenants virtual servers, which were obtained as a result of virtualization by one of two technologies - hardware and software. OpenVZ (operating system level) and KVM (hardware). Let's take a closer look at each of them.
OpenVZ
This virtualization technology is based on the kernel of the Linux operating system. OpenVZ allows you to create several mini-servers on one server. Their peculiarity is that they are isolated from each other, which means that if a problem occurs on one of them, it will not affect the rest. Complete isolation guarantees stable and reliable operation of the virtual server.
The technology is characterized by performance, ease of management. The user gets at the disposal of a convenient and functional control panel, through which the interaction with the server. The client can also increase the capacity of the leased virtual server if desired.
KVM
Kernel-based Virtual Machine, or KVM for short, is a hardware-based way of virtualizing a physical machine. Full imitation of a dedicated server. Each mini-server obtained through KVM virtualization receives a certain amount of RAM and hard disk space. This guarantees the stability and reliability of your leased solution, but the client will not be able to change the amount of RAM or HDD/SSD memory with a single mouse click, as it is possible in the case of OpenVZ.
The client has his own virtual server in Iraq at his disposal, which he can customize and upgrade as he sees fit. This is a solution with Linux kernel installed, but it is possible to install FreeBSD, Windows, or any custom build.
Taking into account the listed advantages of this technology, the tariffs of a virtual server with KVM are somewhat higher. However, they are still less than the rates of a dedicated server. Therefore, if you have a task to optimize costs and reduce expenses, renting a VPS/VDS in Iraq will be appropriate in this regard.
Who and in what cases orders VPS / VDS in Iraq?
Virtual Private Server or Virtual Dedicated Server is needed to promote projects designed for European audiences. In particular, if you create, develop and support solutions for Middle East residents.
VPS is a scalable platform that is suitable for hosting:
- trading bots, terminals, advisors and solutions for traders;
- game servers (development, support or utilization);
- commercial resources (online stores, aggregators, marketplaces);
- information and news sites with high traffic and so on.
Virtual Private Server or Virtual Dedicated Server provides full access to dedicated capacity (KVM virtualization is used, but there are other options). It is possible to connect a remote desktop.
Data Centers in Iraq
There are several technology parks in Iraq where data centers can be located. Some of them are:
- Information and Communication Technology Park in Baghdad;
- Information Technology Park in Erbil;
- Science and Technology Research Park in Basra.
It is recommended to do more research and contact local hosting service providers or IT companies for more accurate information about the availability of data centers in Iraq.
