There are multiple reasons why someone would want to have multiple domain hosting. For example, if you are running more than one affiliate websites, you will require a different domain name for every single one. or, someone who has many blogs on different topics may also want more than one domain names. If you have a need for multiple domain hosting, you will want to be careful when choosing a Web host to purchase from.

Many companies make it difficult or impossible to have multiple domain hosting with one Web hosting account and may require you to purchase separate Web hosting space for each domain name. The problem with this is that you may receive 5GB worth of space per account and only use 1GB. This means that, with five separate domain names, you will be paying five times as much as you would be without this rule.
With Bodhost you will not face such problems.You can host multiple domains on one single VPS or Dedicated server.

Before migration you should warn your customers plenty of time you can call it a server upgrade.

The major advantage of having a VPS is that you have more control of your websites. You probably have root access and you can do things like shutting down the mail server during the transfer however, if you are hosting domains for others, then there is the problem of passwords. When you move to the new server you will need to re-create domains and user accounts, but you won’t have access to the passwords set by your customers. Generally you will need to issue your customers new passwords.

For example if your VPS uses Plesk then migration becomes more easier. This software includes a great tool called the Migration Manager which supports migrating from remote servers using Plesk 2.5.x, 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x, as well as Confixx 2, Ensim 3.5.x, and cPanel 9.

To use the Migration Manager you will need to enter the remote host address , the login name (normally root) and the password. After that you set the remote system type (Plesk, cPanel, etc.) and click Next. The Migration Manager will then send an agent to the remote server and offer you a list of domains and clients on the remote server.

If you will migrate a client it will bring over the client data (like username and password) and all the domains belonging to that client. If you import a domain you will have to have a client account ready on the new server to take ownership of the imported domain.

By moving data through Migration Manager you will not face any problem.

Important things you should remember before Migration:-

1) When moving a servers you need to keep downtime to a minimum.

2) Plan properly so that your users may not even notice that you have switched servers.

3) If possible, perform a trial run of the actual move.

4) No one will see your new website because you won’t update DNS yet. To enable you to see your new site, edit the /etc/hosts file on your client and add your domain name (including the www) with the new IP address. You should also restart your browser. Don’t forget to remove this entry when you have finished experimenting.

It is assumed that you have OpenVZ installed on your server.

How to get OpenVZ templates?

OpenVZ uses a OS(Operating System) template system, ie every single VPS created with OpenVZ can have its own Operating System template like Fedora Core, Debian,CentOS.
You can download OpenVZ Operating System templates from OpenVZ template website. Note that each OS templates has its own hardware version . Make sure that you are choosing the right OS template for your server hardware.

The templates has to be saved in /var/lib/vz/template/cache in compressed format (gzip, tar). You need not decompress them.

How to create a VPS with OpenVZ?

The syntax to create a VPS in OpenVZ is
vzctl create vpsid –ostemplate ostemplatename

Replace vpsid with a number (above 100) and
Replace ostemplatename with the name of the preferred OS template you want for that VPS.

for example
Quote:
vzctl create 105 –ostemplate centos-4-i386-default
This would create a VPS with VPS_ID 105, with centos-4-i386-default OS template

After the VPS is created, you will find its
File System at /var/lib/vz/root/vpsid (example /var/lib/vz/root/105), and
Private Area at /var/lib/vz/private/vpsid (example /var/lib/vz/private/105)

Adding ip address to a VPS and creating networking

The command syntax below to add networking to the existing VPS

Quote:
vzctl set –ipadd ipaddr –nameserver nameserverIP –hostname hostname –save
The –ipadd parameter assigns the IP address to the first venet interface in the guest OS, the –hostname assigns the VPS its hostname, and the –nameserver parameter provides the first nameserver.

Hpw to Assign fixed amount of RAM for the created VPS?

Here is an example of setting the VPS with a guaranteed 256 MB RAM and a maximum of 1GB RAM.
Quote:
vzctl set vpsid –vmguarpages 65536 –save
vzctl set vpsid –privvmpages 262144 –save
vmguarpages ->The memory that is ‘guaranteed’ to the VPS
privvmpages -> The ‘maximum’ amount of memory that will be granted to the VPS

Replace vpsid with with the VPS_ID. Example:
Quote:
vzctl set 105 –vmguarpages 65536 –save
vzctl set 105 –privvmpages 262144 –save
Start your VPS with the command
Quote:
vzctl start vpsid
As an example
Quote:
vzctl start 105

VPS Hosting are just an next step to shared hosting packages and which are not really expensive such as a dedicated server. The features that are provided by VPS Servers are more or less like a dedicated server. no shared hosting packages provide full root access on Linux VPS’s or administrator access for Windows VPS Hosting packages. Customization are much more feasible when it comes to a VPS and it also allows third-party applications.

Much better performance when compared to any shared or reseller hosting packages. You will be able to host in a custom environment. However, in most cases good amount of knowledge is required in order to host a VPS. If you have a fully managed VPS, that would do much help and also assist you with major operations.

Also, be assured that you need more information on the VPS in order to host it. Best way is to gain as much knowledge from the host as possible. At the time of signup, please make sure you select the right options in order to meet your requirements. Wise selection of hosting package are always good for your pocket. Once you are aware of the vps you need to signup, please make sure the hosting provider can install it for you. You should not host any application or software that can likely over-load the VPS at the end of the day.

Complete isolated environment and indivualism is maintained on a vps at any point of time. Bodhost provides fully managed VPS Hosting package which are monitored 24×7 round the clock. For more information, please have a look at this link VPS Hosting

The biggest difference between Plesk VPSand cPanel VPS Hosting is the user interface.both of the feature sets are pretty much comparable, and both are reasonably fast, secure, and reliable.Plesk as well as cPanel are very good control panels and many people had a lot of success with each of them. Ultimately however, it’s just a matter of personal preference over with interface you will be most comfortable with it.

==============
PLESK
==============

Advantages of Plesk are as follows:-

3) For unlimited domain licenses, Plesk is cheaper than cPanel.

4) It supports SuSE Linux.

=====================
cPANEL
=====================

Advantages of cPanel are as follows:-

1)Most of the softwares are integrate with cPanel.

2)Out-of-the-box, it has slightly more features than Plesk control panel.

3)cPanel is cheaper to rent per year, as compare to Plesk.
