The First Step to Initiate Your Web Hosting Business with Dedicated Server Hosting

Posted on by Manoj Yadav

Web hosting businesses offer crucial services to power the internet- simply by using dedicated servers which host web content. Initiating web hosting services often seem to be an intimidating task, however, a brief overview can help you with starting an individual web hosting business. 

Defining the Brand of Your Web Hosting Company

Web hosting is very common nowadays, so you might think whether it is even justified, despite all the trouble to begin a web hosting organization. Be that as it may, numerous enterprises still have a requirement for special web hosts custom-made for them. When it comes to web facilitating, specialty markets incorporate environmentally-friendly web hosts, DDOS secured servers, the private company facilitating, and this list continues forever.

Many starters lay stress upon the question on how to start a server hosting business to build their fortune amongst the top web hosting companies. On the off chance that you are keen to run a web host, odds are you as of now have a motivation behind why your web facilitating administrations would be preferred for clients over others. Make sense of your market- what it is actually and the branding part as well, and don’t attempt to pitch to everybody.

There is an excessive number of hosts who as of now take into account no particular market, so you aren’t probably going to profit attempting to pitch to all client gatherings. Rather, start one thing at a time. Consider the below-mentioned points when characterizing your brand:

Determine Your Target Audience

What’s your company’s name? Choose a crisp yet notable name which has an available domain for purchase. A good number of web hosting companies exist out there, hence do make sure that the name you have chosen has not been taken already. 

How are your hosting services different from others?

What sort of facilitating administrations will you offer? Shared facilitating, affiliate facilitating, VPS facilitating, and committed servers are largely prominent decisions. (Shared facilitating is the most prudent decision, so most has begun there.

Finding the Right Dedicated Server Host

Picking the right committed server host will be basic to your growth. Your customers won’t need their substance moved, on the off chance that you pick the wrong server farm, and this mistake can waste the new web host. Try not to search for the least expensive committed server supplier as this will end in catastrophe. It can’t be their lone positive quality. Rather, locate a devoted supplier that offers a few highlights, for example:

  • Incredible pricing 
  • 24×7 devoted network support if there is an instance of equipment failure 
  • Strong reputation and great reviews 
  • Premium system suppliers 
  • Quick committed server arrangement so you’re set up for new clients 
  • Equipment like SSD and RAID-10 which are awesome for facilitating 
  • Assurance from progressively normal DDoS assaults

This part can be illuminated effortlessly by collaborating or turning into a committed server affiliate to “set up” your foundation. Go4Hosting has a long-running, zero-charge and white-marked affiliate program.

Website Setup, Support Channels, and Billing System

So you have dedicated server hosting set up and ready to go for customers. Now create a website as the face of your business. You’ll also need other systems before you can start selling.

So you have devoted servers set up and prepared to go for clients. Presently make a site as the substance of your business. You will additionally require different frameworks before you can begin offering.

CPanel/WHM is among the prominent site facilitating control boards, and it effectively coordinates with Cloud Linux to confine clients. WHMCS is generally perceived as a standout amongst the most complete customer charging and administration apparatuses. It has an inbuilt in support area for taking care of the client requests. Numerous hosts pick to utilize outer helpdesk programmings such as Zendesk or Kayako or. Most of the new web hosting service providers begin by just offering mail support and pick other help channels when required.

On the Lookout for Web Hosting Customers

Once your frameworks are altogether designed and tried, you can begin getting the message out and discovering customers. Try not to be reluctant, to begin with, your companions and informal organizations. “Informal” deals are basic to another web facilitating business, so guarantee each client leaves your administration fulfilled and glad. This is an ideal opportunity to convey a customized benefit with a grin. It will take numerous hours of diligent work and will mean you are accessible if the need arises 24×7, however, the result for your web facilitating business is justified, despite all the trouble. When you have depleted your own systems, you can attempt the accompanying courses to discover clients:

  • Google AdWords and Facebook promotions
  • Newspaper ads, local print, and relevant magazines
  • Banner ad on websites pertaining to your vocation market

Growth and Expansion

Staying aware of client development can represent the moment of truth any business. Keep in mind forget your center qualities as you increase new customers, and regard each client as though they could end your organization. It’s adage yet the well-known adage of “regard individuals as you would need to be dealt with” applies here. Take after these tips to keep your clients upbeat:

Try not to charge added to your customers superfluously. Continuously concoct a reasonable answer for any money related circumstance. Be transparent about any issues or downtime. Keep clients educated and on the up and up. In the event that it was your blame, take possession rapidly and don’t give individuals pardons. Clients grasp arrangements, not pardons. Make the right decision, notwithstanding when it’s hard. Grow reasonable downtime, SLA, and discount approaches. This is the opportunity to effectively tune in to your clients. Discover what they like and don’t care for. This data can be utilized to connect with new clients in view of your qualities. Focus on issues with your web facilitating administrations — your clients will love you for it, and it will mean an exceptionally cleaned item.

The Correct Memory-Type for Your Server

Posted on by Manoj Yadav

“Which RAM did you choose for your server?” I ask people

“I don’t know, the server came with one.”

Not many people are aware of how crucial server specifications are for feather-like operations. RAM (Random Access Memory) is a volatile memory- a memory that sublimes once power supply disrupts, and is, therefore, commonly overlooked. People tend to focus more on permanent memory drives instead, and do not realize the importance of RAM until it crashes, grinding operations to a complete halt.

These volatile memory chips hold information that the CPU needs delivered in a very short time, especially while booting up wherein RAM is the chief and only source of loading OS files from the hard disk to the CPU.

With a managed VPS hosting service you may never have to worry about choosing your hardware, but with any other unmanaged hosting the responsibility lies solely on your shoulder.

The type of RAM your system has been configured with has a big impact on CPU performance. Different RAM types specialize in different operations and bring in different advantages, and inevitable disadvantages, with it.

A common misconception about hardware configuration is: the more, the better. The fact is, albeit, true, but only to a point, beyond which you would not see any noticeable difference no matter how high a configuration you choose. Then, what is the optimal RAID configuration for my server? Which RAM should I choose for my server and which one for my computer?

Read on to find out.

RAMs are fast, about 50 times faster than hard drives, and only about 30 times slower than cache. Random memories are fast themselves, and for something (like cache) to outspeed RAM should have extremely fast response to access requests. Cache responds in a few nanoseconds within CPU requests. Such high-speed operations make the difference between RAM and cache very less tangible; though only for humans, as computers are fast enough to clock even nanoseconds.

There are lots of ways to classify RAMs, but the classification, in the end, majorly comes down to a comparison of an intermediate storage layer and so RAMs classify as- buffered and unbuffered.

Buffered vs. Unbuffered Memory

The only difference between a buffered and an unbuffered memory is that the former contains a register, or a layer, between the RAM and the CPU. The layer which is also commonly called ‘buffer’ acts as a reservoir (holding area) for data that is being sent to the CPU for processing. The duration for which data is being held in a buffer allows CPU a sufficient time to manipulate data prior to transferring it to a device. Buffered memory chips are a common requirement in case of servers. RAMs, that are buffered, are slower than their unbuffered counterparts, but, ironically, are still preferred over the latter for server-use. A flip side of the argument is that the reservoir (buffer) establishes a very stable and steady environment, which, in turn, translates to reliable and smooth server operations.

An unbuffered memory chip transmits bits uninterruptedly to the memory controller, burdening its application and thus placing more load on the controller.

For desktops and other low-end home computers, unbuffered chips have and will remain a popular choice, because not only are they cheaper, but also faster.

Buffered and unbuffered RAMs both come with or without ECC memory

ECC Memory- Error Checking & Correction Memory

Electrical or magnetic interference undergoing inside a system can cause the stored bits to flip its state, resulting in read errors. Errors, even as minute as these, are not tolerable and can have catastrophic outcomes in fields like aerospace, finance, research, etc.

An ECC memory is able to identify the missing or changed memory bit and is capable of recalling and writing its last-known correct state, allowing a highly stable running environment with near-zero corrupt-data statistics. It is difficult to entirely zero down the possibility of data going corrupt, and even with ECC one is bound to run into unseen scenarios, though not that frequently.

ECCs, too, come with their paired-set of pros and cons. Because there is a thorough data check going on with ECC modules, these modules are slower and have higher access-response time. Error correction memory chips go with servers readily (rather than desktops), as they run all round-the-clock, 365 days a year. Home computers (or desktops) are regularly switched on and off, as a result, the memory is frequently wiped off completely, allowing little time for the RAM to corrupt.

Error correction memory chips have most widely been used with performance machines. Most dedicated server hosting services rely on these chips to carve performance out of their hardware.

A less technical but more popular approach to classifying RAMs is based on memory speeds through generations.

DDR2 memory speed/chip

DDR2 noticed major improvements over its predecessor DDR SDRAM. The pre-fetch buffer of these RAMs is 4 (twice its predecessor’s), and by improving the bus signal, was able to operate its external bus twice as fast as DDR SDRAM.

DDR3 memory speed/chip

DDR3- that could control its refresh rate according to the temperature variation, incorporated almost 40% reduced power consumption tech over DDR2. The pre-fetch buffer bus speed was also doubled over its predecessor DDR2. As a result, it pre-fetched 8 bits of buffer width instead of 4.

DDR4 memory speed/chip

DDR4 added 4 new bank groups with each group capable of performing operations singlehandedly. So, obviously, DDR4 has the capability of processing 4 times the data within a clock cycle.

Tabulated below is the transfer rate achievable from each of these upgrades.

Memory ChipDDR1DDR2DDR3DDR4
Transfer Rate in GBPS2.1 – 3.24.2 – 6.46.5 – 14.917 – 21.3

The above list is expected to undergo a fresh entry soon. DDR5, which we are anticipating to be released by 2020, will unlock even superior transfer capabilities.

Storage needs

The type of volatile-storage ideal for a system depends upon its desired use. Desktop users should continue adhering to an unbuffered non-ECC RAM. ECCs and buffered chips are something only server admins should worry about. Though the choice of an ECC module could depend on whether or not your server can afford data corruption, servers operating under circumstances where a few read-errors would not bring any substantial difference can opt for non-ECC based modules.

Factors That Make Dedicated Servers the Wiser Choice for Businesses

Posted on by Manoj Yadav

When you are planning to launch a website to showcase your products or services, there are some important things you must consider before you sign up with a web host. You know that web hosting is necessary to ensure that your site can have a global reach. You must have a mental map of how you want the website to look like and how it can serve your target audience the best. Likewise, you must know what kind of content to include on the site to cater to the audience interests. However, in the midst of the efforts of looking into all these factors at the same time, you tend to overlook a rather crucial aspect of the web hosting process, and that is, choosing the right kind of hosting plan for your site. When it comes to choosing web hosting plans for the site, there are two primary options that you have, namely shared hosting and dedicated server hosting.

When is shared hosting good for you?

For those who are just starting out and for businesses that have to start off on tight budget, shared hosting plans are preferable as these are cheaper. In shared hosting, there are multiple users that collectively share resources like disk space, bandwidth, processing power and memory belonging to a single physical server. So, all the co-users sharing the server resources are housed on the same server. The chances of server resources getting used up by some users are therefore very high causing your website to suffer in the process. In shared hosting, you cannot enjoy unlimited power or server space or bandwidth; all resources have to be shared collectively and this is the reason why shared hosting may make it hard for your site to enjoy a high network uptime. Because resources are shared, your site may even slow down for the lack of enough bandwidth. So, when you have plans of growing your business or if your site receives a lot of web traffic, you can opt for dedicated hosting which is more reliable, scalable and secure.

Why is dedicated hosting a better alternative for some businesses?

Dedicated hosting is highly advantageous for websites that get a lot of traffic and which engage in online financial transactions. In dedicated hosting, a single physical server is rented by a business so that its resources can be used exclusively by that business. This explains why in dedicated hosting, you can be certain of getting a high network uptime as resources are never shared.

Dedicated servers are not only highly scalable; they are also very robust and secure. In shared hosting, there are chances of your website getting blacklisted when any of your neighbors is a spam site or a site containing malicious content. When your co-users are found to be malicious sites, your site rankings in search engines can be pushed down considerably.

When you choose dedicated hosting, you can also get root access to the server. This allows you to tweak the server settings to suit your interests and to install applications and software which may benefit your business requirements. When you choose fully managed hosting solutions, the task of buying, monitoring and securing the server is handled entirely by the web hosting service provider. You can be certain that all server-related problems will get resolved by their technically-proficient staff without any delays, so that your site does not face downtime issues.

Why should you upgrade to dedicated hosting plans?

With dedicated hosting, you can avail of additional resources like greater bandwidth or processing power whenever you need these to accommodate high web traffic. So, dedicated hosting is an ideal choice for businesses which are looking for higher reliability, higher scalability and flexibility, better customer supports and enhanced security. It is less prone to hacking attacks and malicious attacks because you are not sharing server space with hackers and spam sites. So, when you have started with a shared hosting plan but find that your site is slowing down frequently as other co-users are eating into the server resources, you should consider upgrading to a dedicated hosting plan. As you start to get complaints about slow loading speeds or poor site performance, you should not hesitate to explore dedicated hosting options.

When you are dealing with online financial transactions that demand a high degree or confidentiality, it is better to choose dedicated hosting. In dedicated hosting the host will typically guarantee enhanced security measures which ensure that data breaches do not occur. With a dedicated server, you will be able to enjoy the kind of flexibility that you need to configure the server settings or install new software and applications.

Dedicated servers are typically costlier than shared servers but the advantages they offer are worth the money you spend for them. You can take advantage of the free trial versions offered by reputed web hosting service providers from time to time. These help you ascertain whether the web host you have chosen is reliable or not.

Cloud computing: Understanding the Basics

Posted on by Manoj Yadav

Cloud computing refers to the practice of using a series of remote network to deliver hosted services over the internet.  In other words, cloud computing refers to storage and access of data over the internet rather than your hard drive.

There are basically three categories in which you can divide these services:  Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).  The biggest advantage offered by cloud computing is that it allows end users to use and pay for it just like utility. For example, you consume electricity without having to build the underlying infrastructure for it.

Cloud computing offers several benefits to both businesses and end users. It allows for high level of elasticity as organizations can draw in additional resources at the time of higher demand and then scale down again as demands decrease. Cloud computing also allows end users to pay for only those resources that they have used. This higher level of flexibility helps small businesses and individual users save a lot of money.

There are many providers offering hosting, business e-mail services and cloud computing solutions to a wide and diverge range of industries in India and abroad.  Cloud services can be private, public or hybrid, and this service provider has the expertise and resources to deliver industry- leading, hybrid private and public cloud solutions to transform your business process and applications.

Private cloud computing

Private cloud services are delivered from a business’ data centre to internal users. The main advantage of private cloud computing is higher degree of versatility and convenience along with additional level of security and management control. Private cloud hosting is delivered through an enterprise’s corporate firewall and does an excellent job of improving your business competency and efficiency. Your business can quickly respond to various market demands by drawing from an extensive pool of resources.

Public cloud computing

In a public cloud computing model, a third party is responsible for delivering cloud services over a public network like Internet. Public cloud services are sold on demand, typically by the minute or hour. What it means is that end users have to pay for only the bandwidth, CPU, storage, memory, etc that they use. Public cloud hosting is customised to meet strict security compliance and guidelines to meet highest security standards. It offers higher levels of scalability to efficiently cope up with peak load along with 24×7, 365 days a year technical support.

Hybrid cloud computing

Hybrid cloud computing as the name suggests is a combination of private and public cloud models. There is an orchestration between public cloud services and on-premises private cloud. Organizations can make use of private cloud for mission critical data or workload and public clouds for general nature workloads.

Hybrid cloud offers organizations the security of private cloud with the scalability of public cloud model. End users are offered a high level of flexibility, security and control.

Are You Managing Your Application Codes Securely?

Posted on by Manoj Yadav

As millennials are ready to take the IT world with a storm-from production to competition to innovation – everything is changing expeditiously than ever before. This imposes a tension on chief information security officers (CISOs) to integrate the right mix of social tools, embrace mobility, design an amicable work environment, and offer the scalability and benefits that competently caters to the needs of today’s mutable workforce. CISOs can be relived off a little in the year 2016; however the omens are not in favor. Technology pundits disclose information technology landscape to become grander and intricate with dramatic changes in the way businesses procure, streamline, engage, and retain various aspects essential for following success.

It goes without saying that cybercrime is reaching its pinnacle exploring every nook and cranny to agitate smooth business functionality. Herein, embracing open source software applications without putting application integrity at stake prove as a rewarding solution. To put into perspective, utilization of open source code by data center service providers is undeniably compelling as it encompasses rich-attributes that are good for maintaining business strength, provided used with strong code management techniques.This blog attempts to throw a light on the key security challenges that companies will encounter in the approaching years and how CISOs can address these defying challenges.

Why 2016 is Another Challenging Year for Organizations?

Challenges among businesses are many. Among all, the thought that troubles any top management team of an organization is of losing potential clients owing to service delivery latency and security vulnerabilities. Today, chief information security officers are losing control and visibility into their software development process. In the present scenario, it is indubitably essential to ensure that application code is free of all probable security loopholes. It is no secret that in the past few years increasing data issues have made it a hot topic of boardroom discussion.

Here is the catch – most CISOs today find it difficult in confirming that third-party code that they implemented for their software projects does notopen up the room for breaches and are capable of speeding up the delivery process within stipulated time and budget. The worst part is as applications are increasing in numbers and sizes; its management is all getting complicated. To put it simply, let me cite an example – in order to run a top-end car, more than 100 million lines of code are written, and managing these lengthy yet mission-critical codes is not at all easy. No matter how complex or lengthy the management process is – it can’t be overlooked, if you don’t wish to take a chance with its integrity and security. 

And the Challenge Continues ….

Today, we are well-acquainted with the facts that shed light on highly-interconnected world. Experts believe that by 2020, the advent of Internet of the things (IoT) will completely transform the way we interact, connect to, or render services. The challenge arises when there is any flaw in the software that is responsible for controlling such networked devices. The implication of these flaws can have mild to business-threating experience. Any disruption in application that controls mission-critical architectures and services like traffic systems, or power grid can open a backdoor for bad boys (hackers) to peep and make vulnerable changes into country’s electric supply or air traffic systems. One of the recent illustrations of wireless car hack that took control of a car’s functionality through a vehicle connectivity system explicitly predicts that fragile application code can take a toll on individual’s life. Well, no company wants such nightmares to occur in their entire lifecycle.

Technically, the Internet operates on an open source code, such as Linux, Apache Tomcat, MySQL, and WordPress. These platforms are built on open source. The utilization of open source applications is soaring high with no indications of slow adoption rate. Enterprise-grade applications have only 65% custom code. Moreover, developers in a quest to build cutting-edge applications for their business, navigates through hundreds of libraries, tools, and frameworks. There is no denying the fact that open source code provides immense benefits, if used with utmost knowledge and cautious attitude. 

It becomes immensely important to gain proper visibility and control of your open source software to make best out of it. There are an impressive number of organizations that do not make complete use of third-party codes in their software projects. Moreover, some of them who have secure development cycle apply codes that they have written at their own. More than 50% of organizations do not keep an eye on their open source code for secure breaches. A survey suggests that more than 50% of respondents lack stringent protocols for open source utilization and more than 95% of respondents have no idea about the source code that they are already making use of. Unfortunately, the lack of control plus maintenance will present vistas of issues in 2016. The applications developed by team of developers in 2016 will have security exposures from day one.

The increasing dependence of developers on open source components to create applications faster and economically will makeissuesbigger if a company fails to minimize the use of open source. Moreover, if compliance and security are not focused with all the senses wide open, new launches could be doomed since its commencement.

Improper Code Analysis: Market is flooding with a portfolio of static and dynamic codes that help in determining coding errors; however they aren’t that perfect when determining the issues allied to third-party source codes. Incomplete awareness about the source libraries being utilized and security patches that are required to be implemented, applications are extremely vulnerable to attack.

Application developers should always strive to use source code with utmost care and security, and this can be achieved by making using of right tools and strategies. On top of it, they need to clearly fathom different kinds of data an applicationhandles and explore what techniques they should integrate to protect them against nasty attempts. Herein, proper training and automated tools will help in bolstering in-house developed source codes. Moreover, for third-party source codes, CISOs should follow pragmatic approach and include security metrics and framework that not only provides complete control and visibility into the application code, however, suppresses the external attacks.
 
The Bottom Line: Like it or not, curtailing cyberattack hundred percent is impossible. Let’s face it- the year 2016 and the years ahead will continue to face the security vulnerabilities. To withstand such application assaults, it is important to ensure the robustness, reliability, and security of the application. Having said that means, clear understanding about the application code, latest updates, and whether the patches are applied on time – not only before the application get released, but throughout the application life cycle as it will help developers to stay competitive and agile.

Do Dedicated Servers Help With Increasing Site Speed?

Posted on by Manoj Yadav

Increasing site speed is one of the top concerns of businesses today. They do not want to disappoint visitors. Most businesses with significant online dealings realize that slow-loading pages will encourage visitors to abandon the page. They may even turn to competitor sites to get what they want. That is why businesses are going all out to increase site speed. Many businesses have considered getting dedicated hosting for their sites. Dedicated hosting involves hosting sites on a single server. In other words, one server hosts only one customer. This offers multiple benefits, which boost speed. This is one answer to the question do dedicated servers help with increasing site speed.

Dedicated-Server-Speed

Site content

Before finding an answer to the question do dedicated servers help with increasing site speed, you would need to consider the type of website that you have. The amount and type of content are very important. If you have a small site, with not too many pages, your loading speed might be sufficient. Also, if your site carries only text content, you would not have to ask do dedicated servers help with increasing site speed. However, if your site has a lot of pages or content that includes videos and graphics, you would need a reliable hosting solution.

Server specifications

Also, you would need to consider the service provider’s offering. If they are offering the right speeds, then dedicated servers can help speed your site. That is why you would want to look for service providers that offer, among other things, server speeds that are fast and connections that are reliable.

Resources

Among other factors that help you figure out the answer to do dedicated server hosting help with increasing site speed, would be the number of resources on offer. Take the case of bandwidth. If your site is popular, you would be experiencing high visitor volumes. This means that you would need to have sufficient bandwidth to cater to all visitors. Without bandwidth, your site will slow down or crash. Both situations are avoidable if you use dedicated hosting plans. These plans offer plenty of resources, including bandwidth. This is why when you use dedicated hosting for traffic-heavy sites, you experience more stability and greater loading speed.

Security for your site

When your site is under attack it tends to slow down. That is why it is important to choose dedicated server hosting with the right security solutions. Your service provider will offer security that keeps malware off your site. Additionally, DDOS attacks may also be prevented. So if you are wondering do dedicated servers help with increasing site speed, this would be one of the answers. In addition to faster site loading, dedicated servers also offer security, in the form of reliable data centers.

If you are considering signing up for dedicated hosting, here is something else to know. You would get reasonably priced plans because the benefits offered are so many. You will also be able to improve site security, in addition to gaining enhanced loading speed.

Python is The New Way To Virtualize a Physical Machine

Posted on by Manoj Yadav

The history of Python dates back to the times of World Wide Web. Ask any techie in his mid 40s now and he would tell you how smoothly did IT transform to what it is today. Python was launched in February, 1991 and World Wide Web, some six months later in August same year. Since then the two had overlapped over a wide domain and co-existed, one complementing the other. Python was originally conceived in the year 1989 and released 2 years later. It was created keeping in mind exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba Os. From being used to code arithmetic calculator to virtualizing physical machines, the language has undergone significant transformations.

Python is The New Way To Virtualize a Physical Machine

Here, in this blog, I will take you on a tour to explore Python, its applications in Physical, virtual servers and how they differ from each other. So, let’s get started.

Physical Servers

Like all the other languages, Python too has its ideal use case. Because of its simplicity, it best suits to server-side scripting, which the server finds the easiest to understand. It might sound very contradictory but Python is an interpreted language and cannot be understood by the machine until it is translated to its native codes. But that is the philosophy underlying interpreter – to make the language as easy to comprehend as it might get.

Before we move on to discussing physical machines, we must know what machines are in the first place. Here “machine’ does not imply mechanical, moving devices but computer or server in general. In a broader scope, the term may be used for any device that computes.

Having understood the concept of machines, we must now know the different ways in which a server is classified. Based on hosting type, servers could be dedicated, virtual, or shared but when classification is narrowed to the underpinning technology, all servers are either physical or virtual.

Difference between physical server and virtual server

On a general note, everything you can see or feel or comprises of matter is physical. Physical servers are also defined the same way – servers that exist in reality. If you lease such servers, the provider will allocate you a particular machine from his data center. Means, your hosting will almost always have a physical existence in the form of a server.

Physical Servers

Source – optimal network

Virtual machines are virtual in sense that they are only imaginary. Though a virtual server works just like a physical server, it is only imaginary. Even if you were to visit a data center, you would never know which server(s) gas your resources.

Source – Innov8tiv

Virtual machines are made following a concept called “Virtualization”, which basically means conceiving machines that don’t really exist. Computers can be virtualized in one of the following three ways –

Para virtualization – is different from the above technique in a way that all the guest OS work in collaboration even though isolated. Also, each machine is aware whether other machines exist or not. Para virtualization also make use of a hypervisor, but it is somewhat less immersed.

  • Full virtualization – this technique has been deemed the most effective. Guest operating systems are completely unaware of each other’s existence and work as if they existed in solitary. A hypervisor manages the functioning of each OS and interacts with the CPU directly. Refer diagram below.
  • OS-level virtualization – this is perhaps the most mundane way of incorporating virtual machines in PCs. With OS-level virtualization, you can run one OS within another. It needs no hypervisor because the host operating system is completely aware that a guest system coexists with it.

All the above techniques share some common traits and differ in a few. Full and para virtualization is generally implemented where the CPU is powerful enough to handle resource dilation. OS-level virtualization is achievable even with a desktop, but it has its downsides that the host and guest OS should be the same or else it would lead to architectural conflicts. You can download free to use apps such as VMware if you are wondering to dabble with virtual machines yourself.

Why Python for VMs?

It is but natural to imagine why out of all apps, Python is the most suited for creating Virtual Machines. A closer look would tell you that the answer lies in Python’s simplicity.

As IT became more and more advanced, and with the dawn of AI and machine learning, more focus was made on alleviating logic for humans than the machine. As codes  became more and more tough, programmers migrated towards simpler languages to lighten things to some extent. Python was the ideal choice from day one because coding with Python is not very different from what humans speak. To give you a brief idea on how easy it is to code with python, I have compiled some of the functions from my last program below –

Printing “Hello World”

Printing or displaying is the easiest with python. Unlike C++, where you would call the System function and then execute the print command, you can perform print in python in less than a few seconds.

 print(“Hello World”)

You may omit parenthesis as well.

Defining variables

This is perhaps the function I personally think is the most useful. Also, this could have been why Python was cherry-picked for AI and ML.

In python, you need not define variable types. Also, variables can be allocated at any place you find convenient (make sure to define the same prior to its operation in the program)

a=0b=1c=a+b

You can perform functions without having to unnecessarily think of relevant data type to define with it.

A single p2v operation may involve thousands of variables – or more – and it helps if you could define variable only as and when their needs arise.

Logical Operator

Logical operators like OR and AND, in other languages, are defined with || and && respectively. Not only is defining logic with unconventional signs difficult, but also prone to exceptions, given that codes won’t execute with a single missing character.

Luckily, in Python these operators are defined by their name (in lower case). This may have further simplified a lot of operations where physical to virtual conversion was required.

# Example “use of Python in Virtual Machines”

a=1

b=2

if(a>b):

    print(“%d”%a)

elif(a==b):

    print(“both are equal”)

else:

    print(“%d”%b)

Output –

Takeaway

Even with all its functionalities, python may not be as useful as C in some places. To tackle this problem developers coded a reference implementation of Python in C. Called Cpython. It is both an interpreter and a compiler, compiling Py codes into bytecodes before executing. To date, CPython is the most widely used implementation of Python.
