Virtual Private Server Technology

The next generation of VPS's

What is a Virtual Private Server?
With VPS, a single physical server is divided into multiple private "virtual" servers. It combines more than ten years of virtualization experience with the proven stability, performance, and security of the FreeBSD 6 operating system. We start with the right foundation: state-of-the-art, high-performance hardware. Then we load the most stable and popular applications, like Apache 2, MySQL 5, PHP 5 and more. And it’s all backed by a business you can trust.

You get a hosting environment that gives you your own Unix virtual machine. Each VPS is a private and protected area that operates as an independent server.

The VPS allows multiple customers to share the expense of hardware and network connections (and completely eliminate the hassle of maintaining it all) without sacrificing performance or the freedom to run whatever software you choose.

The secret behind a VPS is how a single physical server is shared. Even though multiple customers share hardware, they do not share software. Every VPS has its own complete directory structure and set of dedicated applications (Web server, mail server, etc.). And with our VPS, each can be rebooted without affecting any other VPS on the physical server.

Fair Share technology enhances protection and performance:
Furthermore, even though hardware is shared, the VPS technology features "fair share" scheduling of processes, memory, and network, so each VPS receives the resources it deserves.

It's the best defense in preventing any single VPS from abusing shared resources and, ultimately, keeping your Web site and applications performing consistently. You would have to purchase a dedicated server for hundreds of dollars per month to match the reliability, security, and flexibility of the VPS.

Our VPS technology provides an unparalleled level of reliability and security while still offering maximum freedom and flexibility at an affordable price.

How can I use my VPS?
The potential uses of a VPS are wide and varied. The VPS can be used to run a simple Web site or house a complex e-commerce site back-ended by an advanced database and custom programming. A VPS accommodates the present hosting needs of your business, but also provides an easy upgrade path to meet future requirements. Even if you already have a Web site, the VPS can improve the online presence of your business by hosting your company e-mail or intranet. More info...
