VDS IPHost Servers Your Power and Control!

VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) is a virtual dedicated server that provides the user with an isolated environment based on a physical server. Unlike classic shared hosting, where resources are shared between all users, on VDS each client has its own guaranteed resources (CPU, RAM, disk space). This solution is perfect for more demanding projects that need stable performance and control over the server.

VDS works thanks to virtualization technology, which divides a physical server into several independent virtual servers with dedicated resources. A hypervisor (such as KVM, VMware or Hyper-V) is installed on the physical server, which creates and manages the virtual machines. Each virtual machine receives a separate operating system and resources, allowing it to run in isolation as an independent server.

Connection to VDS depends on the operating system of the server:

For Linux server: Usually SSH connection is used. For this you need to know the IP address of the server and a login (often root) with a password. You can connect via the ssh root@<IP-address> command from a terminal or by using programs such as PuTTY.
For a Windows server: Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is used. You can use the standard RDP program on Windows or other clients on macOS and Linux. You need to enter an IP address, login and password for access.

To host a website on VDS, follow the steps below:

• Set up the environment: Install the necessary server components to run the site. This is often done using popular server solutions such as LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) for PHP sites, or Nginx, MySQL and PHP (or other stack).
• Upload site files: After setting up the environment, upload the site files to the server using FTP, SCP, or the rsync command.
• Database configuration: If the site requires a database (such as MySQL or PostgreSQL), create one and import the data.
• Web server configuration: Configure a web server (Apache or Nginx) to handle requests to your site. This may include creating a virtual host for a specific domain that will point to a folder with the site files.
• Domain setup: Connect the domain to your VDS by specifying its IP address in your domain's DNS records.

After completing these steps, your site should be accessible through a browser.
