== Other considerations == * '''Virtual Private Servers are running on the same kernel as the host:''' Unlike other VM solutions, Linux-VServer does not require additional memory or processing power, in fact it may even reduce used memory due to the fact that multiple virtual servers may share the same files. * '''There are no special daemons running:''' A VPS running crond, sshd, httpd and sendmail uses the same resources as a normal Linux server running these services. * '''No pre-allocated disk space needed:''' A VPS generally shares the disk space with the host system, so there is no need to pre-allocate disk space for each virtual server to find out later that your disk is full, yet each VPS is using only a tiny portion of their allocated space. * '''Resource sharing:''' Since virtual servers can share binaries and libraries without interfering, a second VPS generally costs about 40-100MB of disk space only. Most of this space is a copy of the packaging database. * '''32-/64-bit independence:''' You can easily run a 32-bit distribution inside a VPS on a 64-bit host system, but faster, sometimes a lot. * '''Admin tools work inside a vserver as usual''': A vserver feels like a real server from within and can be used in the same ways. <div class="editsection" style="float:right;margin-left:5px;"> [<nowiki/>[[index.php?title=Usage_Scenarios&action=edit§ion=8|edit]]] </div> <span id="See_Also"></span> <span id="see-also"></span>
