How to Create VPS’s on a dedicated server ?
If you are looking to create VPS Hosting packages on a dedicated server and resell them to your clients. BODHost is just the right place for you. We can assist you with complete creation of VPS’s on a dedicated server along with complete management techniques, additional licensing involved and much more. The first step to Setup a Dedicated Server Node is that you need to figure out as to how many VPS’s will you setup on a dedicated server along with calculation of your dedicated server profit. You can select a dedicated server from the following link :
Following is the calculation :
If your dedicated server costs : $200.00USD Per Month
You can create 20 VPS’s on it and price it at $30.00USD Per Month. So that means
20 VPS’s x $30USD Per Month = $600.00USD Per Month
Now, the next procedure is to opt for a Virtualization Software. If you opt for OpenVZ, there will be no licensing cost. However, if you opt for Virtuozzo Power Panel, following is the VPS licensing structure :
VZ 1VE license = $15.00USD/month
VZ 3VE license = $30.00USD/month
VZ 5VE license = $40.00USD/month
VZ 10VE license = $50.00USD/month
VZ 20VE license = $70.00USD/month
VZ 30VE license = $90.00USD/month
VZ 40VE license = $110.00USD/month
VZ 50VE license = $130.00USD/month
VZ 60VE license = $150.00USD/month
VZ 70VE license = $160.00USD/month
VZ 80VE license = $170.00USD/month
VZ 90VE license = $180.00USD/month
VZ 100VE license = $190.00USD/month
VZMC $90.00USD/month
VZCC $30.00USD/month
Now, for e.g. if you need to setup 20 VPS’s, you will need a 20 VE licenses. That means,
$200.00USD + $70.00USD = $270.00USD Per Month
And you will also need VZMC installed on the Server in order to manage your VPS’s.
Now, next is we need to think over the installation of cPanel or Plesk or any other control panel on each VPS. You will need to install cPanel or Plesk on each VPS as per your client’s requirements.
Following are the pricing structure of cPanel and Plesk for each VPS :
Plesk 10 Domains : $3.00USD Per Month
Plesk 30 Domains : $5.00USD Per Month
Plesk 100 Domains : $10.00USD Per Month
Plesk 300 Domains : $15.00USD Per Month
Plesk Unlimited Domains : $20.00USD Per Month
cPanel ( WHM ) : $8.00USD Per Month
Fantastico Deluxe – Installation with cPanel : $4.00USD Per Month
Rvskin License / Installation with cPanel : $30.00USD/Year Per VPS
RVSiteBuilder Pro : $10.00USD/Per Month Per VPS
RVSiteBuilder Lite : $6.00USD/Per Month Per VPS
Other Control Panels :
Webmin : Free!
LXAdmin : $4.00USD Per Month Per VPS
Billing System installation and management :

Microsoft ISA Server or Internet Security and Acceleration Server easily manages connections between the networks. Following are the features and pre-requisites of ISA Server :
1) Networks
Administrative access to the ISA Server that you are using is really important as you will be able to clarify the physical network connected to ISA Server. You will be able to do this due to the multi network model used by ISA Server. Prior to this, make sure that you create networks in ISA Server 2006 as this is the basic element of the server.
2) Network rules
All the networks should be related to the networks by the ISA Administrator between networks where network traffic should flow through. This can be done only after the networks are defined. A couple of network rules can be defined with ISA Server 2006. They are listed below :
a. Route:
A bi-directional network connection is established between two networks if a network rule is established through Route and due to this the original IP address is routed between the networks involved.
b. NAT: A unidirectional network connection is established if the network rule is established through type NAT (Network Address Translation) and the IP addresses are replaced with the IP address of the corresponding ISA Server network adapter from the network segment.
3) Firewall rules : The network traffic should be controlled with Firewall rules between all the networks which are involved once the network
Load balancing dedicated server Hosting are one of the most advanced web server solutions used these days as the requirements of client’s are at inclination and in order to manage the requirements, it is important to setup a specification where every activity on the server is distributed accordingly and load has been managed. There are many of load-balancing. Hardware Setup of load-balancing is much costlier when compared to a software load-balancing setup.
Following are few of the ways of setup :
Round Robin DNS Load Balancing dedicated server :
It is basically DNS binded server that load-balances multiple dedicated web servers. This is normally known to be used for group of clusters. Some of the main advantages is that is very simple and can easily be implemented.
The only disadvantage is that the DNS server does not know if any server goes down. It knows only the difference of the IP and does not know by server port. The IP can be cached by others and request will not be forwarded to the other server.
Hardware Load-balancing dedicated server :
Hardware load-balancers route TCP/IP packet to different servers in a cluster. They are highly-reliable but with a cost. It used network gatewat to route traffic. The only disadvantage is that it is cheaper to software versions.
Software Load-balancing dedicated server :
These days, software load balancing dedicated servers are normally used which are integrated with web servers and application servers. They are much cheaper when compared to a hardware load-balancer and can easily be configured as per requirements. Unlike, Round-Robin, it can easily route based on different parameters. It requires additional hardware for complete setup of load-balancer.
Exchange dedicated servers are basically servers which enables send and receive of emails. It basically enables sharing of emails without connecting online. It can be send from one server to another without being connected online. It integrated with Microsoft outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express and email applications that are used for business on a dedicated server. It provides to confidential information, improving efficiency and simplifies communication of large organizations.
This also enhances security and reduces the risk factor and can be configured on mobile devices. Exchange Server can store emails on a dedicated server which is not the case with POP3 setup. Employees of organizations may send private information through this applications.
With exchange dedicated server Hosting configuration, emails and information can be stored on servers which can only be accessed through client devices. Exchange dedicated servers run on MS windows servers and operating system. Microsoft Outlook Web access also provides browser access systems. It supports devices such as blackberry, Treo, Motorola, QPocket and oher smartphones.
When the number of website pages increases, we need to maintain them accordingly. Everything needs update. These are widely utilized to handly situations with the same content that appears on different pages.
SSI should be enabled on the dedicated servers. Most dedicated server hosting provides provide SSI because it is one of the requirements. Operating System and SSI file name extensions are related along with the dedicated web server that is used by web hosting service. In case of windows dedicated server, .htm or .asp is used for Windows ISS and .shtml for Linux Dedicated Servers. .shtml are for SSI files. SSI executes before server side scripts such as :
file.ext is in the same directory as the page.
SSI is used for header and navigational panels of website. It allow the website to centralize navigational links in one file which has all the pages of a website. Webmaster needs to update the main file and effect is seen on all the pages that are includes. This is normally see with navigations on websites.
We suggest that websites hosted on dedicated server Hosting packages should include Server Side Includes.
If there is only one dedicated web server that responds to HTTP request on the website, the load on that web server increases and cannot handle high volume of incoming traffic. This is normally the case once the website received large number of traffic. This hinders the performance of the website and all requests are in que until all are processed. It is important that we upgrade the dedicated server hosting package to a
load balancing dedicated server configuration.
The load needs to be distributed among various servers to improve the performance of the server and maintain 100% Uptime on the server. This applies to application as well as database server. In this case, we will consider HTTP request that uses the feature known as IP spraying or rather also called as load / network dispatcher. It checks each HTTP request and redirects to the server or the cluster of servers. It is also used for fail-over dedicated server specifications.
