VPS/VDS hosting in Italy

Italy has long been a priority country for business. Any business on the internet needs hosting. Instead of classic cloud solutions, new ones are coming. One of the innovations in hosting is a virtual server. Renting a VPS/VDS in Italy is a profitable solution to optimize, promote your business.

By renting a server, you cover a significant part of the solvent European audience. What else will a virtual server give? What advantages does it allow you to experience? You will also be able to optimize costs, as well as get all the necessary conditions for the successful promotion of business. But this is not a complete list of superiority of the solution against the background of classical technologies, which are gradually receding into the background.

Virtual server and ordinary hosting: what is the difference?

The technology of creating a VPS/VDS server is the same everywhere. There is a server machine that solves one task of resource distribution among clients. The architecture of a VPS/VDS server is more complex than a "classic" solution. One of the determinants of the whole system is the hypervisor. It performs an important task - virtualization.

What advantages does the client get with the lease of a virtual server? Let's break it down in order. First, it is full control over the server. With the lease of VPS/VDS the client gets access rights of root or Administrator level. It becomes possible to fine-tune the server for the needs of a particular project: you can install any OS you need (it can be Windows, Ubuntu, or custom build), software at your discretion.

You will not feel any restrictions. Almost every tariff provides unlimited traffic. The number of sites, databases, domain zones, ssh- ftp- email-users you create is limited only by the server itself, based on its functional and technical capabilities. Agree, already these advantages are enough to take a closer look at virtualization technology and rent a virtual server.

There is no need to worry that you will be disturbed by "neighbors". This is absolutely not the case. Your project will function, and "live" independently of others. If a problem occurs on one of the mini-servers, it will not affect you in any way. Separate IP addresses are used, when on a regular shared hosting several sites can use one IP address.

How a VPS/VDS in Italy works

A virtual dedicated server (VDS) or virtual dedicated hosting (VDS) is a server that is created by dividing the resources of a physical server into multiple virtual instances using special software called a hypervisor. Each of these virtual instances behaves like a separate server with its own operating system, file system, network access and resources of CPU, memory, disk space, etc.

A hypervisor is software that manages the resources of a physical server and creates multiple virtual instances based on those resources. Each of these virtual instances (VEs) has its own set of resources and operating system, which may be different from the operating system of the physical server. The hypervisor provides isolation between virtual instances so that they do not interfere with each other and provide a high level of security.

Each virtual instance (VSP) can have its own programs, files, applications, and settings. Users can access their VPS remotely over the Internet and can manage it as if it were a physical server. They can install their own programs, configure their own security and manage their network connections.

A UPU is a more cost-effective solution than a dedicated server because multiple users can use a single physical server, which reduces hardware costs and energy costs. However, a VPS is not suitable for large projects with high resource requirements, such as large databases or highly loaded websites.

Virtual or physical server

A dedicated physical server also has many advantages, but it is not always advisable to rent one. If the business is just developing, it is not always appropriate to rent a dedicated server, as a virtual server provides almost identical functional and technical capabilities.

Plus VPS/VDS on the background of dedicated:

1. Price. Renting a VPS/VDS in Italy, you can expect that the monthly rental cost will cost you 1-2 cups of delicious coffee. You know what the most interesting thing is that the performance of a virtual server in some cases can be even higher than that of a dedicated one. And this is not a myth!
2. Ease of Scalability. It's easy to add capacity to a VPS/VDS in the form of additional RAM, processor cores, or hard disk capacity.

But is there even one flaw with virtualization technology? It uses a single disk memory and a single communication channel, which is not the case with a physical server. This means that, in theory, one client can abuse its authority and use someone else's resources. Another thing is that a good hosting company monitors 24/7, identifies such users and takes action.

Therefore, when choosing a hoster, be sure to consider:

• the company's reputation in the market;
• the cost of services, the possibility of renting virtual and dedicated servers with expansion (scaling);
• reviews of commercial clients and individuals;
• availability of technical support service.

Not all clients understand why you need a virtual server when you have a physical one. There is nothing scary about it. If you have any questions, you should not be afraid to ask the specialists.

About OpenVZ and KVM virtualization technologies

There are two different server virtualization technologies - OpenVZ (operating system level) and KVM (hardware). OpenVZ is based on the Linux kernel. It allows you to create and run mini-servers isolated from each other on one physical server. It is characterized by performance, ease of use and server management. The client has the right to increase the capacity of the VPS/VDS. In this case, the choice of OS is possible only from a number of proposed (Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu), as virtual servers of a particular host machine use a common Linux kernel.

Hardware virtualization or KVM. With this technology, it is possible to create a complete virtual analog of a real physical server on a host machine. Each mini-server gets a certain amount of RAM and hard disk space. You can install Linux, FreeBSD, Windows and OS of your own image. But you will not be able to change the resources of your VPS/VDS.
