virtual private server (VPS) hosting
What is a VPS?
Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are segments of a server, dedicated to your needs. They act just like a dedicated server.
Why choose our virtual servers?
- Dedicated resources: Dedicated, unshared and uncontended memory and disk resources.
- Total control: Full root/administrator access. Freedom to install software of your choice, and customize the operating system as you wish (including firewall and VPN software).
- Value: Cheaper compared to a dedicated server.
- Fast performance: No artificial CPU limits. CPU is shared between a low number of VPS's on each host. Speedy disk subsystem.
- Secure: Secure isolation like a dedicated server thanks to Xen virtual machine technology.
- Scalable: If you need more CPU speed, more RAM, more disk space, or more bandwidth, you can grow your VPS as your needs grow.
- OS choice: We support all major enterprise operating systems - Ubuntu, CentOS (open source version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux), Windows 2003 and Windows 2008.
- True VPS technology: Xen is a true virtualization technology. If companies offer you "burstable RAM" it's an indication that they're using a container environments. Container environments are inherently unreliable, as they are not isolated from other containers.
- No overselling: Because Xen guarantees dedicated resources, it can't be oversold, unlike container environments.
- Reliable network: Fully redundant, multi-homed gigabit network with a 99.95% Network uptime SLA.
- Enterprise-grade hardware: In the unlikely event of a hardware failure, the VPS can usually be moved to another host swiftly, minimizing downtime.
Host specifications
- CPU: Intel Xeon 2.26GHz with 16 cores in total
- RAM: 32GB ECC correcting memory (will detect and correct any RAM errors)
- Disk: SAS 10,000 RPM (high speed server drives)
- Disk redundnacy: RAID 6 with hot spare (will handle multiple disk failures without data loss)
- Disk controller: Adaptec high end controller with BBU (BBU dramatically increases I/O speeds)
- Power: Dual hot-swap power supplies
