Virtual Private Servers

VPS – Giving the flexibility of a Dedicated Server

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is an environment that bridges the gap between shared and dedicated website hosting by creating a virtual server that runs inside a network server via a specially designed partition, running its own operating system securely and privately and not affected or interrupted by its neighbours.

How Virtual Private Servers Works

  • Users share system resources, such as the CPU and memory, but unlike shared hosting the file system is fully partitioned. This means you get a guaranteed share of the server’s resources, while control panel, root and remote desktop connections access allows complete customisation of the VPS, adding or changing modules, restarting a service, rebooting the server 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?

  • Because a virtual private server gives you access to the operating system, allowing you to install whatever software you need, you need some technical knowledge of how servers work to run your VPS effectively. Support is available to guide and advise you 24 hours a day, but remember that the VPS is an unmanaged service as it’s your VPS to install software, reboot, restart whenever you need to with no surprises.
