WMS as a service
The WMS (Webhosting Managed Server) service was created in response to customers who needed a more powerful Webhosting ⧉for their project but did not want to manage their own server VPS ⧉. It therefore has the following features:
- Dedicated, scalable performance. WMS is essentially a virtual server whose purchased hardware resources, unlike regular webhosting, you do not share with other users. You can therefore rely on your application having these resources available and not being limited by other websites on the same server. If they stop being sufficient, you can increase them by following the guide WMS – Increasing Parameters.
- Webhostings, databases, emails. You set up services on WMS in just a few clicks. To run a website you need a webhosting and a database, and you can also assign emails to each webhosting.
- Management from the administration. You manage the WMS service exclusively from the Customer Administration. We do not allow direct access to the server.
Setting up WMS
You can set up the WMS service with these steps:
- Order the service WMS ⧉.
- Wait for the service to be set up (usually within 1 hour of receiving your payment).
- Create a new Webhosting and, if needed, a database. If needed, assign emails.
- If you do not have all your services with VEDOS, make sure that your DNS has the following record types set up correctly: A, or AAAA if applicable and MX.
- Install the applicationyou want to run on your website, or upload your website files via SFTP.
- Activate the encrypted HTTPS connection and set it up on your website.
Glossary
- HDD: The disk space used by WMS, divided between website files and database data. The service uses SSD disks.
- Grafana: A graphical interface for WMS performance diagnostics.
- Multihosting: Webhosting for multiple websites (usually domains) at the same time.
- Proxy cache: A caching server that speeds up content loading and saves server resources. With WMS, the number of requests served per month is limited.
- RAM/CPU: The ratio of RAM to processor threads assigned to the WMS service.
- Advanced configuration: The option to adjust the ratio of RAM/CPU performance and the HDD disk space assigned to the website and databases.
- SFTP: The encrypted variant of the FTP protocol used with the WMS service. You cannot connect to SFTP from the client WebFTP ⧉. We recommend the FileZilla client.
- SNI: An interface that enables connections using the secure HTTPS protocol.
- Dedicated hosting: The opposite of shared hosting, where a large number of websites run on one server. Dedicated hosting reserves the given server resources for itself only.
- WMS: Webhosting Managed Server. A service that combines the performance of a virtual server with the user interface of regular webhosting.
