Can I get a trial period and test out the Virtual Private Server for free?

Unfortunately, we cannot offer you any trial Virtual Private Server. Because it has been experienced that by offering “free test accounts” opens our network and customers to numerous potential security risks. It is not a reliable way to screen a potential customer from a resourceful hacker, outside of having received a payment.

And it also attracts Internet abusers such as spammers who jump from network to network quickly, staying long enough to cause damage to legitimate customers. So,inspite of trial VPS we are offering 30 days money back guarantee which you can consider it as 30 Day trial and if you are not satisfied within first 30 days of our service we will give you refund for that VPS.

How is a Virtual Private Server different than shared hosting?

A VPS (virtual Private Server) Hosting eliminates the restrictions of shared hosting by giving you the power and flexibility exactly like a dedicated server with your own set of services and with more disk space. Shared hosting is limited in comparison to VPS because its users do not have administrative access and software configurations cannot be customized, despite the fact that physical resources are also multiplexed.

With a VPS, you can control your own unique file system and CGI-BIN, disk space, system resources, bandwidth and memory allotments.You will get root access to your VPS by which you can install application from you end.

What is Linux Virtual Private Server ?

Due to the wide growth of the Internet, the workload on the servers providing Web, email, and media services has increased widely.More and more websites are being developed to keep up with the growing demands and are employing many techniques to avoid overloading their web servers. Building a scalable server on a cluster of computers is one of the solutions that is being effectively used. With such a cluster technology, the increasing requests can be easily managed by simply adding one or more new servers to the existing cluster as required. In this article we will look forward at setting up one such scalable, network load-balancing server cluster using a virtual server via the Linux Virtual Server Project.

The advantage of using Linux Virtual Server Project is that unlike Microsoft network load-balancing clusters, the Linux Virtual Server Project enables you to add a node running any OS which supports TCP/IP to the cluster.

The cluster setup consists of a load balancer server — also known as the virtual server — running on the Linux OS and one or more real servers connected to it through a hub or a switch. The real servers — which can run on any OS — provide network services to the web clients, whereas the virtual server does IP-level load balancing of the incoming traffic to the various real servers. This virtual server acts as an interface between the users and the real servers and, therefore, makes the parallel services of the real servers to appear as a virtual service on a one single IP address.

When the virtual server receives a client request for data, than it transfers the request to the appropriate real server according to a sheduled algorithm. The real server then replies to the virtual server, which in turn forwards the reply to the client. Although it is actually the real server that services the client request, to the client it appears as if the response came from the virtual server. The IP address of the real server is masqueraded by the IP address of the virtual server.This virtual server uses 2 network interfaces, one connected to the Internet for the clients to access and the other connected to the internal local area network (LAN), where all the real servers are placed. Scalability is achieved by transparently adding or removing real servers from the internal LAN.

Nameservers are the computers accessible on the Internet which explains us where a website is located. They are responsible for a special process called resolving. During this process, a domain name of your website is taken, and a physical address is obtained or the machines which perform the DNS(Domain Name System) function by providing the mapping of domain names to particular IP addresses or the server which returns an IP(Internet Protocol) address when given a domain name.

This IP address is basically the domain’s location on the Internet is called as Name servers.It is also referred as DNS servers (and vice versa) because they basically perform the same function; when given a domain name, they return the IP address for that domain.

It is very important for you to provide names of the nameservers when you buy or configure your domain name. These names are obtained from your hosting company when you sign up for hosting service.

These Nameservers are of 2 types ie.Primary Nameservers and Secondary Nameservers.

Primary Server:The section where the registrant indicates the host name and IP number of the name server that will contain authoritative information for the domain name and will be used to resolve that domain name to its corresponding IP number(x). The designation of “primary” means that this name server will be used first and will be relied upon before any of the other name servers that may be listed on the Domain Name Registration Agreement.
The primary server section of the Agreement is a required section and the domain name registration will not be processed unless an untill this section of the Domain Name Registration Agreement is completed properly.

Second Level Domain:It is the next highest level of the hierarchy underneath the Top Level Domains. In the example, 1stDomain.com - the “1stDomain.com” part is the second level domain. Second level domain names are what you register in a Top Level Domain registry.
