Simplifying VPS Administration with Control Panels: A Compelling Choice
With the absence of a graphical user interface (GUI), server management often involves the use of SSH, requiring a sound grasp of command-line syntax. Control panels, on the other hand, offer a centralized and user-friendly approach to server management.
Bread Basket, provided at no additional cost with WebHostingPeople’s VPS plans, eliminates the need for laboriously typing line after line of commands. It streamlines the management process, recognizing that webmasters are human, not robots.
WebHostingPeople’s custom control panel is engineered for optimal user-friendliness and cost-efficiency. While many competitors charge extra for control panel access, Bread Basket allows users to effortlessly deploy numerous cloud applications without incurring additional expenses. This flexible pricing model, combined with Bread Basket’s versatility, ensures there’s a perfect VPS solution for every requirement.
Perfect for hosting websites and applications, our virtual servers have been well-received within the hosting community. With Bread Basket, we offer a more intuitive, secure, and adaptable control panel, effectively lowering the barriers to cloud VPS management.
How Bread Basket Differs from cPanel and Plesk
One of the most popular control panels in the market, cPanel, is designed with beginners in mind. This Linux-based interface, dating back to 1996, is one of the earliest server control panels available in the hosting industry. Similarly, Bread Basket prioritizes simplicity. However, it relies on fewer resources and is specifically designed to work seamlessly with our servers, providing users with enhanced freedom and management capabilities. For customers transitioning from cPanel, a comprehensive guide for importing archives can be found here.
Another widely-used control panel, Plesk, facilitates enhanced cluster configuration for both Windows and Linux systems. Due to its compatibility with Windows, Plesk is favored by many webmasters and ASP.NET developers. However, its text-heavy interface and premium costs from other hosting providers can be intimidating for less-experienced users.
In summary, Bread Basket caters to those seeking cost savings and a more user-friendly approach to website management and application deployment.
Bread Basket is designed for seamless scaling, enabling you to add and manage multiple servers directly from the interface. You can also expand storage and RAM with just a few clicks. Moreover, Bread Basket is web-based, making it compatible with various operating systems, including Debian, Windows, and Ubuntu.
Remote Desktop Protocol and GUI for Virtual Servers
Remote desktop access allows users to connect directly to servers. Similar to operating a virtual machine, users can access the server’s desktop from their own computer using a secure protocol. This also grants access to the server’s terminal, providing webmasters with greater flexibility for authorized applications compared to using a VPN.
Microsoft employs a proprietary protocol called Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which powers Bread Basket’s VNC application. Our VPS customers, regardless of their chosen operating system, can access VNC through the control panel, utilizing the browser-based HTML5 VNC client.
The HTML5 VNC is OS-neutral and enables users to copy and paste from sessions, as well as print pages to a PDF file. As the client is still relatively new, Microsoft plans to introduce additional features in the near future.
Performance Boosts with Frameworks and Web Servers
Implementing HTML5 VNC is just one of the ways we strive to incorporate innovation and user empowerment into our platform. Regarding hardware, our infrastructure is constructed using high-performance CPUs and speedy SSDs. In the case of Bread Basket, a wide range of frameworks and web servers are available to simplify running your website or deploying your applications.
With Bread Basket, users can choose from over 10 frameworks, including CodeIgniter and Bootstrap. Popular among PHP developers, CodeIgniter is a lightweight and agile framework that allows for easy PHP script debugging without a significant footprint. Bootstrap, on the other hand, is well-suited for the mobile market and utilizes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With an extensive library of resources and extensions, Bootstrap simplifies application development from scratch, offering templates and design elements for buttons and forms.
Web servers such as Apache, NGINX, and Lighttpd provide a range of optimization features to streamline the development and deployment of your web applications. For example, Apache’s Sendfile operation can bypass individual read and send instructions when transferring a file. Meanwhile, NGINX excels at handling concurrent connections through an asynchronous, event-driven architecture.
Secure Cloud Backups and Easy Application Installs
Many people prefer to use the cloud for creating and storing backups, and with good reason. Cloud backups through Bread Basket offer peace of mind through redundancy and secure access protocols. Users can effortlessly create and manage backup images from within the Bread Basket interface, ensuring data security at all times. Additionally, automatic weekly backups are available.
Bread Basket also features an extensive library of over 300 apps to choose from. These range from content management systems and eCommerce platforms to forums and wikis. Bread Basket utilizes one
