Virtual Dedicated Servers
What is a virtual server?
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a hosting environment that combines the benefits of both shared hostingand dedicated hosting. It does this by creating a virtual server that runs inside a hardware server via a specially designed partition.
Each Virtual Private Server partition runs its own operating system in a secure and private environment and cannot be accessed or interrupted by its neighbours.This system gives you the same level of root access as a dedicated server whilst sharing the cost of the hardware. With a VPS you are virtually running your own server but at a fraction of the cost. The flexibility of a dedicated server Users share system resources, such as the CPU and memory, but unlike shared hosting (a virtual host on a shared hardware server ) the file system is fully partitioned. This means you get a guaranteed share of the server's resources, while full root access allows you to completely customise the virtual server, adding or changing modules and installing your own software.
Highly cost effective Because a single physical server is shared between several users, the cost of a virtual server is small when compared to the price of a dedicated server. But the level of flexibility is similar (although you'll still need a dedicated server for really demanding applications or high-traffic sites).
How much technical knowledge do I need? All our VPS options include a friendly control panel, which makes it easier to administer your websites and services. However, because a VPS gives you root-level access, allowing you to install whatever software you like, you will need some technical knowledge and understanding of how servers work to run a VPS effectively. The inclusion of the very latest range of software and control panels for Windows and Linux is accompanied by price reductions across the range so we're increasing performance, features and value at exactly the same time.
