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 :

Monthly Price (Powered By Line in Client Area): $19.00USDP/M

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.
