Lucidity offers a gamut of hosting services tailored for your needs.

On the lower end, we offer shared hosting. The problem with shared hosting is that you have to share, yuck! Resources are shared between all users, you can't install software on the server because it will affect other users, and you have to share CPU and RAM resources between all clients. Also any issue with other websites hosted on the same server may affect your website as well. Shared hosting is out of the question for any site that requires high security such as e-commerce sites.

On the high end, we offer dedicated servers. Dedicated servers give you the full resources of the server -- just for you. They offer you stability, security, and performance and a unique IP address. You have freedom on what software to run on the server, and to customise your server to your heart’s content. However, all these advantages come at a price... as you might have guessed dedicated servers are significantly more expensive.

A Virtual Private Servers (VPS) also known as Virtual Dedicated Server fills the gap between shared hosting and dedicated hosting. Like a dedicated server, our VPS’s offer you all the advantages of a dedicated server, at a much lower price point. You have full control over the VPS -- you can install and customise the VPS in any way you want.

Lucidity VPS’s use state of the art Xen virtualisation technology. They are hosted on lightning fast servers and you get a guaranteed amount of CPU, RAM and disk resources. In fact, in many cases they may be faster than the dedicated servers of other providers!

As your requirements grow, the VPS can easily grow with you. You can easily grow and scale the VPS to use more resources (CPU, RAM and disk) with very little downtime. On a dedicated server there’s usually no way to increase CPU resources without getting a new server which may involve downtime and migration efforts.

Since everything in the VPS is hermetically sealed from the other VPS’s, you get the same stability and security as a dedicated server.

VPS’s are also the greener choice, as they radically reduce carbon emissions compared to dedicated servers.

Since a VPS gives you a unique IP address, they give an edge for Search Engine Optimisation, and they allow you to install an SSL secure certificate on them for e-commerce sites.

So the next time you’re ordering hosting, give VPS's a closer look.
