What is a Virtual Private Server?

Intended to meet entry to mid-level hosting needs, Virtual Private Servers combine the flexibility of a dedicated server with the economical prices of shared server hosting. VPS is a hosting environment that gives you your own virtual machine. Each VPS is a private and protected area that operates as an independent server, maintaining an independent set of applications, allowing the client to share the expenses of hardware and network connections while maintaining a secure allocation of RAM and CPU.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) uses special software called Virtuozzo to split a robust high-end dedicated server in to multiple small-dedicated server type environments. Think of VPS as mini servers. This setup allows for a dedicated type environment with full root access and your own private secure partition, but without the high price of a dedicated server.

Who needs a VPS?

Our Virtual Private Server plans are perfect for sites that require more resources than regular shared hosting servers can safely offer, but don't need a full resource physical dedicated server. VPS's are also perfect for those who need their own customized Linux environment to run their web applications, those who need full root access to manage their sites or those who are simply seeking to isolate their operation from the disadvantages of the shared hosting environment.

Benefits of a VPS

  • Stability -- Each virtual private hosting server (VPS) is partitioned their own space, this means the activity of each is completely independent from one another. A crash on one VPS will not affect any other virtual servers.
  • Security -- Each VPS is isolated exactly as if it were one physical dedicated server, therefore the full security scheme a dedicated server has is identically found on each VPS allowing the integrity of your data on a VPS to be preserved at all times.
  • Performance -- Each VPS is allocated a specific amount of CPU, memory, and disk space resources. Each also has ability to burst in resource usage to maximum defined limits as needed, however, at no point in time is one VPS is able to consume all physical server resources. The end result: Reliable performance ALWAYS.
  • Control -- Each VPS is standalone where you are given total control. You decide what software to install, configure, and run. All this can be administered with the powerful, user-friendly control panel or via the command line.

Need more reasons to go VPS?

  • Managed VPS - Don't know much about Linux and standalone virtual private servers? You don't need to be an expert or experienced user as all our VPS are managed. We handle all the security updates, software patches, and server node monitoring.
  • Email issues - Due to ongoing and increasing spam issues, blacklists have been employed to help identify and block the source of the spam. If you are on a server where a domain has been spamming, the shared IP address of such server runs the risk of being blacklisted preventing you from sending email to other networks. A VPS is a solution to this situation.
  • Root access - All VPS are given full root access. Add, remove, upgrade, downgrade, and customize configurations on your VPS, as you want them, where it fits your needs. As super user root you are privileged to deploy your own applications when you need them without prior approval.
  • Resource Usage Visibility - Via the Virtuozzo control panel you can visibly see the CPU, memory, and disk space resources you use. With consistent feedback of your usage, you can choose when it is your time to upgrade per your needs accurately.
  • Powerful Performance - Our core node VPS platform servers are composed of Dual Processor 64bit AMD Opterons with dual-core technology and hypertrasport technology. All servers include a minimum of four (4) 250GB hard drives and four (4) GB's of ECC registered memory providing an intense environment of burstability when needed.
  • Self Service - The web based Virtuozzo Power Panel (VZPP) empowers you to manage your VPS anywhere, anytime. Via the VZPP you can start, stop, or reboot the VPS; back up and restore and even reinstall it.
  • Price - Enjoy the benefits of a similar nature environment of a dedicated server for a fraction of the price. VPS solutions are affordable for startup and growing clients.
  • Reliability - Unlike shared hosting, where if any single user ever runs a resource intensive script or a poorly written program all users functionality and performance is affected; a VPS eliminates this.
  • Support - Full 24/7 administrative technical support (Level 1, 2, AND 3) via email or phone is available to answer any of your concerns and provide you with solutions.
