4. What is the difference between VPS and virtual hosting?
Although VPS and virtual hosts are both virtual servers, virtual hosts are smaller. A VPS virtual server is a virtual host divided by a physical server, and a virtual host is multiple spaces divided by a VPS or Cloud Virtual Machine. That is to say, a physical server can be divided into many VPS, and a VPS can be divided into many virtual hosts. The difference between VPS and virtual hosting is:
1. Different types: As we said above, VPS virtual servers can be divided into many virtual hosts, and their performance completely exceeds virtual hosts, just like the difference between physical servers and VPS.
2. Different resources: The resource configuration of virtual hosts divided by VPS is limited by VPS, while the resource configuration of VPS is limited by physical servers. That is to say, the resources and configuration size of a VPS mainly depend on the physical servers and the number of divided VPS, and the same is true for virtual hosts.
3. Different operations: VPS has more operable space, while many functions of virtual hosts are restricted, and the operable space is small. For example, VPS has the highest management rights, freely builds a system environment, installs any components and various applications, and security software.
4. Different prices: Virtual hosting costs are lower. Different server types lead to price differences. The prices of physical servers, VPS, and virtual hosts are different, and there is even a gap of several times.
Summary: Because virtual hosting is cheap, deployment-free, and simple to operate, it is more friendly to novice users and does not require technical capabilities. The control panel has complete basic setting functions, such as 301, 404 and other web settings. The VPS virtual server is the parent of the virtual host. The resource configuration of the virtual host comes from the VPS, and its performance is also limited by the VPS.
