In this guide, we will show the essential basics of what a Virtual Server is, how to purchase one from our commercial website, and why it is highly recommended that you consider registering one depending on your web requirements.
What is a Virtual Server (VUP)?
A Virtual Server, commonly abbreviated as VUP, is an advanced web hosting solution that combines the power and control of a dedicated server with the efficiency and accessibility of shared hosting. In essence, it is a virtualized server that operates within a physical server. Each VUP works as an independent entity with its own operating system, dedicated CPU resources, RAM, storage, and bandwidth.
This independence and allocation of exclusive resources allows you to enjoy a significant level of customization and control over your web hosting environment, similar to what you would get with a dedicated server, but at a more affordable cost.
How do I purchase a Virtual Server with cdmon?
The first step to register a Virtual Server with us is to access our commercial website cdmon.com. From this page, you can see all the information you need about our products and also about cdmon. To register the new server, you must go to the top left, in the "Servers" section and access "Virtual Servers":
Next, a table is displayed with the features available to edit your Virtual Server. In this window, you can modify the virtual server features and purchase it with the needs that best suit the requirements of your web projects.
You can modify the number of processors and RAM of the server so that it has more power. You can also edit the disk space depending on the size your hostings will have, and finally you can select whether you want it to have a maximum limit of 20 hostings or whether, on the contrary, you prefer to be able to create an unlimited number of hostings.
Once you have selected the features you consider appropriate, you must click "Purchase" to continue with the server registration
Clicking that button will redirect us to the shopping cart on our website. There you can see that the Virtual Server you added has been included, and the next step is to make the payment so that the purchase can be completed.
In the first step of the cart, you must verify the products you want to pay for. If everything is correct, you must click on "Next step":
If you are carrying out these steps without having logged in to our control panel, the shopping cart will ask you to identify yourself before continuing with the purchase. If you are already a cdmon customer, you only need to enter your access credentials in the "I am already a customer" section and log in. If you are not yet a cdmon customer, you must go to the "I am not a customer" section and register with us; it is completely free.
Next, it will ask you to enter the billing details for this purchase. You can use the details of a billing contact you have created in your cdmon user account or enter the details manually for this new registration:
In this same window, you must select the payment method you want to use to make the payment deposit/bank transfer or Visa/Mastercard card, direct debit or PayPal:
· If you choose deposit/bank transfer, our bank account details will appear so you can make the deposit.
· If you choose Visa or Mastercard, the bank card payment gateway that provides us with this service will appear.
· If you choose Direct Debit, depending on the billing period you selected, cdmon will issue a bank receipt for the corresponding amount, and automatic renewal will be carried out.
· If you choose PayPal, PayPal payments have a surcharge of 1.8% + €0.35, corresponding to the difference in PayPal fees compared to Visa / MasterCard card payments.
Finally, you must check that all the details you entered are correct and, if so, go to the very bottom and check the terms and policies option:
To finish, the window will open so you can make the payment according to the method you selected in the previous step. We show a screenshot of the window when selecting card payment as the payment method:
With these steps, you will have completed the registration of a completely new Virtual Server. As soon as you make the payment, you can access your cdmon control panel and verify that it appears in your Server List; it should take a few minutes to appear.
Why purchase a Virtual Server?
Now, you may wonder why you should consider purchasing a VUP for your web projects. Here are some reasons:
Full Control: With a VUP, you have absolute control over your server environment, allowing you to install and configure software to your needs and adapt it to the specific requirements of your projects, as long as it is compatible with the base operating system.
Optimized Performance: The dedicated resources of a VUP guarantee consistent and fast performance, which is essential for websites and applications that require a high level of responsiveness.
Scalability: You can easily adjust the resources of your VUP as your project grows, without needing to change servers.
Enhanced Security: Being isolated from other VUPs on the same physical server makes your environment more secure and less vulnerable to possible threats.
Reliability: Redundancy and availability are fundamental features of a VUP, ensuring that your projects are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Cost-Effectiveness: VUPs offer excellent value for money, as they provide a high level of performance and customization at a lower cost than a dedicated physical server.
