VPS (Virtual Private Servers), or commonly referred to as VPS hosting environments enables the partitioning of a high specification machine into 'virtual' servers. This is done by allowing multiple instances of an operating system or software to be run on the same physical server. Essentially there is one root operating system (hardware node) and using new software, in our case Virtuozzo, a SWSoft product, the same operating system can then be installed over the top (thus creating multiple virtual nodes). Each virtual node uses the same registry and system files to maximise efficiency and minimise memory and hard disk usage.
Each VPS, or VPS Hosting environment is completely independent of all the other VPS systems, and memory, disk space, and CPU processes can also be isolated for each VPS. This gives you most of the benefits of a dedicated server at a far lower price, these benefits include:
- your own secure and separate VPS host environment
- full remote control and access of your server
- the ability to host as many sites on your 'server' as you wish without extra charge
- the ability to install & configure whatever applications you wish on your 'virtual server'
- enhanced control, including server reboots and backups
- use of high resilience servers that can be upgraded without any service interruption
- full anti-virus protection
- a Plesk control panel Interface
- a Virtuzzo power panel
- fully managed servers that include operating system updates
- speed and reliability gained from a professionally managed datacentre
- reduced environmental impact through using powerful energy efficent blades
With VPS hosting, you get your own secure hosting environment, complete with root access, and the ability to install and configure whatever you wish within your environment. Although there is more than one virtual server on each machine, there is no way for other users to see your VPS or even know that you are there. For those wishing to we also offer a fully functional Plesk interface for your VPS hosting.
