Though both of these are the part of virtualization and cloud hosting technology but still there are differences between them as following.

Operating System – With VM-Ware you can go for both Linux and Windows Operating system, whereas with Hyper-V you can only go for Windows operating system.

Support bits for Hosts – VM-Ware supports 32 and 64-bit hosts, whereas Hyper-V also supports 2 and 64-bit hosts but it needs only 64-bit host which offers support for hardware-assisted virtualization.

Number of Host CPU’s supported – VM-Ware supports to 32 Host CPU’s and Hyper-V supports 16 Host CPU’s

Maximum RAM supported – VM-Ware support(s) 256 GB of RAM and Microsoft 2008 Enterprise Edition of Hyper-V is capable of supporting 2 TB of RAM

Supported Running VM’s – 128 active VM’s supported by VM-Ware and support to the number of running VM’s on a Hyper-V depends on the size of resources available.

RAM Over-Commitment – This feature is only supported by VM-Ware and not by Hyper-V

NIC Teaming – Native support is available for NIC Teaming on a VM-Ware and Hyper-V supports to only through 3rd party drivers.

Number of Virtual Switches supported – 248 switches are supported on a VM-Ware and Hyper-V supports unlimited number of switches.

After looking the above comparison you can easily select one of these fantastic technology suiting to your web hosting requirements.

Virtualization technology is the backbone of VPS Hosting and Cloud Hosting Services. Mainly there are following major types of Server Hardware Virtualization.

Full Virtualization – In this type the main physical server is fully simulated so that it supports software and applications to work in a similar manner on virtualized partition as they work on a separate server.

Partial Virtualization – In this type of virtualization technique a selective part of the physical server is simulated and there can some modification required in installed software and application for running on the virtual part of the server.

Paravirtualization – In this type of virtualization no hardware part is simulated but the software and programs are executed in a specific manner to work for their own websites.

The web hosting services provider decides which type of virtualization may suit to which of its clients and according it may provide the services.

Cluster On A Web Hosting Server

From a computer system’s point of view a cluster is nothing but a group of servers and other resources related to servers, specifically designed to enable themselves to work as a single system. Such union of multiple servers and resources in the form of a cluster can achieve greater availability of resources by implementing load balancing and parallel processing among the web hosting servers which are part of the cluster.

Cluster On Personal Computer

On a personal computer storage technology the cluster is a logical union of files stored at different places on a hard disk. Any such file takes up one more multiple clusters of storage. Such file’s clusters are possible to scatter at several different locations on that particular hard disk. Clusters related to each file are kept recorded in a specific file allocation table which is also situated on the same hard disk.

Include “/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/1/username/domainname/*.conf”

Make sure your save before exit

root@server[~]# cd /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/1/
root@server[~]# mkdir username
root@server[~]# cd username
root@server[~]# mkdir domainname
root@server[~]# cd domainname
root@server[~]# vi cp_jkmount.conf

Now find the file ‘cp_jkmount.conf.’ in which you need to insert the following code.

<IfModule mod_jk.c>
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
JkMount /servlets/* ajp13
JkMount /*.do ajp13
</IfModule>

Now you need to verify the entry in tomcat configuration file.

root@server[~]# vi /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/server.xml

After checking the entry you need to insert the following code in the same file.

<Host name=”domainname” appBase=”/home/username/public_html”>
<Alias>www.domainname</Alias>
<Context path=”" reloadable=”true” docBase=”/home/username/public_html” debug=”1″/>
<Context path=”/manager” debug=”0″ privileged=”true”
docBase=”/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/server/webapps/manager”>
</Context>
</Host>

Make sure you Save the file before you exit and now restart the tomcat.

root@server[~]# /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/./shutdown.sh
root@server[~]# /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/./startup.sh
root@server[~]# /scripts/restartsrv tomcat

And now restart the httpd service

root@server[~]# /etc/init.d/httpd stop
root@server[~]# /etc/init.d/httpd startssl
