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 :

Dedicated Server Hosting Node

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

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

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.

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.

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.
