What do you mean by Virtual node or Software Nodes?

Nodes created in physical servers are referred to as Virtual nodes or Software Nodes. Each virtual node performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server. They can be rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.

Example of VPS level 1 and level 2 issues?

VPS Level 1 or L1 includes simple issues such as domain not resolving to configuring outlook express for end clients. Level 2 or L2 issues are slightly complicated than L1 and require root access to the server to solve it. Some of the L2 issues are issues that pop up on the server such as Not able to connect to ftp , email stopped working, Email password not working, site down, troubleshooting errors end clients face etc.

Examples include

* Node reboots.
* Password changes for mails, FTPs, quota modifications for hosted accounts, etc.
* Time Synchronization problem in cPanel - VPS command prompt and WHM shows different time even after time synchronization through WHM
* FTP not connecting with VE under Plesk VPS
* Password working fine with webmail not with pop3. The client can login to webmail but when try through pop they will get the error message " -ERR Authentication failed (bad password?) " in VPS servers.
