Virtual and real hosting, what you need to know?

Today, many providers offer virtual servers where you can start working without large financial investments.

Previously, this idea was at the development stage, because there was no understanding, why is there a separate machine for each server? But you can simply emulate several systems of this type and put everything on one computer. And now providers offer such an option. Modern equipment allows you to get the required number of IP addresses. The rest depends on the software. And the result is a classic hosting, which has practically no restrictions.

Most often, about 60-80 virtual servers are located on one host, and you can install any program, configure it and manage it. The peculiarity of this option is also in the affordable cost, since most often everything depends on the amount of disk space that the server occupies.

Those companies that do not have personal web sites primarily benefit from the service, and there is no desire to rent them from the provider. The peculiarity of this option is that it is a one-time investment, which you just need to maintain in the future. And then, for this there are specialists.

There will be no restrictions on the control plan, while its actual location does not matter. All processes can be carried out online, without delay.

At the moment, virtual machines are moving into small and medium businesses, as the price of support is quite affordable. And all this is accompanied by advanced features.

Shared hosting features

In this case, you can work out high-quality e-mail, make it more flexible. But there are additional possibilities as well. For example, spam filters are now available, and important messages are simply redirected to another mailbox or server. You can turn on the autoresponder and so on.

And the filter settings are also very flexible, as you can set them based on the time of day, date or day of the week. For example, you can put restrictions on the correspondence of staff. That is, the employee will not be able to communicate with third parties, not colleagues during working hours. The filter even marks a human-written letter from a machine-generated one.
