The method of splitting a server is known as Virtual Private Server. It is such that after splitting, each server bears the capacity of running its own operating system along with the capacity of rebooting independently. Mainframe Computers have long used this service of partitioning a server into multiple servers. There is a resurgence of such partitioning subsequent to the development of virtual software and technologies required for other related work.
Virtual Private Server acts as a bridge to the shared web hosting services and dedicated web hosting services. Since a Virtual Private Server has its independent Operating System, customers have the ability to access that operating system and can also very easily install any software running on the Operating System.
As an extension of Web Hosting Services, many companies are seen to deal in Virtual Private Server hosting, also known as Virtual Dedicated Server Hosting. The two components of Virtual Private Server hosting includes (i) Unmanaged Hosting where the customer is responsible for monitoring and administering their own server and (ii) Unmetered Hosting which is similar to Unmanaged Hosting in every aspect but in this case, an unchangeable bitrate is offered in order not to exceed the monthly budget.
