What is a VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server for a Website)?

В облаке у клиента максимальные привилегии: он разворачивает любые операционные системы, приложения, задает нужные настройки сети. Идея виртуального хостинга VDS в аренду (Hosting VDS) — чтобы клиент работал с ним, будто это физический выделенный (dedicated) сервер, через средства удаленного доступа. Поэтому тем, кто знаком с таким администрированием, не приходится изучать новые практики в работе. Сервис подходит для хранения больших объемов информации: аудио и видеофайлы, документы, сообщения чатов, письма, хранение данных для бэкенда приложений, данные о покупателях. Он подходит в том числе и для высоконагруженных проектов, для работы которых требуется размещение и раздача большого количества контента.

What are the benefits of a VPS/VDS?

Первое — безопасность, надежная инфраструктура облачного VPS/VDS хостинга обеспечивает сохранность и защиту данных, в том числе в соответствии с требованиями законодательства. Второе — масштабируемость, вы можете запустить столько экземпляров ВМ, сколько нужно, и с полной уверенностью в их безотказности. А также легко отключить ресурсы, когда необходимость отпадет, не переплачивая за простаивающие мощности, как это бывает с физическим оборудованием. Третье — с помощью облачного сервиса LinxCloud VPS/VDS для сайта можно развернуть инфраструктуру в облаке за минуты, не тратя время на интеграции и запуск. Еще несколько возможностей ИТ-инфраструктуры в облаке, ради которых стоит арендовать VPS-сервер: удобное управление облачными ресурсами через веб-интерфейс, API или командную строку;поддержка ОС Windows и Linux, возможность установить собственную операционную систему, если это необходимо;снижение расходов на обслуживание, покупку и хостинг оборудования;хранение данных на территории России и соблюдение требований законодательства;бесплатная техническая поддержка 24/7.

How is virtualization organized?

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.

Key differences between a virtual server and a dedicated physical server.

С точки зрения пользователя серверы в облаке ничем не отличаются от выделенного физического: вы также получаете root-права, доступ к сетевым настройкам, можете выполнять любые действия над файлами, устанавливать и настраивать любое нужное программное обеспечение. Кажется, что разницы нет, однако, чтобы получить полный контроль над стоимостью услуги, лучше арендовать VPS/VDS. Вы сможете создавать или уничтожать ВМ за минуты, в зависимости от текущих потребностей, увеличивать или уменьшать их мощность без остановки, то есть — без даунтайма. Dedicated servers не имеют такой гибкости, какой обладает облачный VPS/VDS, что приводит к недоиспользованию ресурсов и риску падения приложений при пиковых нагрузках.

Cloud databases

Linx DB - cloud databases

Fully managed and scalable DBMS with a guaranteed level of service. Ready to go in a few clicks.

Thanks to the unique Linx Face technology included in the product, you can administer any IT infrastructure with the help of Linx Cloud experts.

database as a service

DBaaS

DBaaS is a cloud-based approach to data storage and management. You don’t need to install and maintain a database—it’s provided in the cloud as a customized, optimized, and ready-to-use solution.

Who is responsible for what

We take care of the entire IT infrastructure, database hosting and administration, allowing you to manage your data and benefit from it from anywhere in the world.

How to create and run a database in the cloud?

The entire process of creating and configuring a cloud DBMS is automated in order to reduce its setup time from several days to essentially 5 minutes.

By default, a DBMS instance is created on Linux: the OS is already preinstalled, and the database itself is ready to go.

Мы собираем необходимую конфигурацию БД, а затем моментально запускаем ее в LinxCloud.

Basic questions and answers

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.

Linx S3 is suitable for storing large amounts of various data: audio and video files, documents, messages, customer data, app backend data, etc. It’s suitable for high-load projects that require storing and distributing large volumes of content.

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.

Safety A reliable cloud VPS / VDS hosting infrastructure ensures the safety and protection of data, including compliance with legal requirements.
Scalability You can run as many VM instances as you need, and with complete confidence in their uptime.Turn off or delete virtual machines once you no longer need them to save money on idle capacity.
Decision-making speed With a Linx Cloud VPS / VDS, you can deploy infrastructure in the cloud in a matter of minutes without wasting time on integrations and launch.

A few more reasons to rent a VPS in the Linx Cloud:

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 terms of user experience, servers in the cloud are no different from dedicated physical ones: you get root rights, and can access network settings, perform actions on files, and install and configure any software you want.

A VPS / VDS additionally grants full control over the cost of the service. VMs can be created or deleted in minutes depending on current need, and their computational power can be adjusted without downtime.
Physical dedicated servers lack such flexibility, which can result in idling resources under normal conditions and risks of unstable operation at peak loads.

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.

Если вы взяли VPS/VDS сервер в аренду, и нужна миграция для ВМ, то их можно сконвертировать в формат RAW, а потом загрузить на платформу. Если возникнут проблемы или вопросы, вы всегда можете обратиться в нашу службу поддержки.
