Linx DB - cloud databases

With a cloud VPS server, the client rents all the necessary computational resources (CPU, RAM, storage). In essence, it’s a cloud service for VM creation accessed through a web interface, command line, or API. This approach allows IT professionals to use secure and scalable computing resources in the cloud for resource-intensive operations. Using the web interface, you get quick access to computing resources, speeding up the setup and launch process.

From the user’s perspective, a VDS is equivalent to a remotely accessed physical dedicated server. As a cloud solution, a VDS combines the stability and scalability of a virtual server with the flexibility of a regular one.

A VPS is a server configured to host multiple server instances, while a VDS instance takes up the entire server. From the user’s perspective, there’s hardly a difference. Both options are often provided as a whole: a VPD / VDS hosting service.
You can choose the type and amount of computational resources you need (CPU, RAM, storage), select a required OS, and set other parameters. The cloud provider will guarantee you will have them when needed.

• VPS is flexible, it's easier to scale if the project requires it.
• VDS has more features, so sometimes it costs more.
• Different technologies are used - in the first case it is built on the operating system, and in the second it uses hardware virtualization.

For convenience, providers bundle these services into one, so as not to overburden customers. You determine the size of storage, processing power, operating system, and other parameters that are important to your work, and we make sure it all works well.

• convenient management of cloud resources through a web interface, API or command line;
• support for Windows and Linux, and the option to install your own operating system;
• reduced cost of maintenance, purchase and hosting of equipment;
• data storage in Russia and compliance with legal requirements;
• free technical support 24/7.

In order to provide a virtual server for rent, the provider deploys a virtualization environment on physical servers, where client VMs operate.
Client VMs are securely isolated from each other. Clients access them remotely through encrypted connections. We perform virtualization using KVM + OpenStack.

The main differences are the absence of restrictions on the number of sites, databases, memory, and mailboxes, as well as the guaranteed resources provided on request.
On a regular server, a client’s application may consume excessive resources, causing shortages for other clients. This won’t happen on a virtual server, as your site or application will always receive as many resources as it needs for its operation.
