Virtual Private Servers (VPS)

The Virtual Private Server (VPS) is ideal for individuals or businesses that want to maintain a powerful presence on the Internet. VPS offers you the power and control of a dedicated server and the cost savings of a shared hosting solution. The proverbial middle ground.

Each Virtual Private Server is hosted on a powerful dedicated server. The dedicated server operating system and various Internet services are partitioned into a limited number of so-called Virtual Private Servers. Because it is the operating system and Internet services that are partitioned (not just the web server), each Virtual Private Server operates independently from the other Virtual Servers that share the same powerful dedicated server.

The bottom line? A VPS offers most of the advantages of having your own Dedicated Server without the large price tag and extensive administrative duties. Security, performance, and isolation from other Web sites are just a few of the benefits of hosting your site on a VPS.

The VPS Product Line

Virtual Private Servers are available in three "flavors":

1. The newly released  VPS3 series
   The VPS3 series is the best VPS ever! The VPS3 combines more than ten years of virtualization experience with the proven stability, performance, and security of the FreeBSD 6 operating system. The VPS3 comes with Apache 2, MySQL 5 and PHP 5. Enjoy root access, multiple shell accounts, multiple domain hosting, enhanced security, and the ability to install your own applications. Learn more.
2. The VPS2 series
   The VPS2 series includes root access, multiple shell accounts, more robust and secure subhosting, and the ability to readily install thousands of applications. A full list of VPS2 features is available here.
3. The original VPS1 series
   The VPS1 series of hosting solutions has served us well for many years -- but we're slowly phasing the VPS1 series out. We will continue to support our clients using VPS1 hosting solutions even though we no longer seek to setup new VPS1 series servers. That said -- if you really need a VPS1 we'll be happy to help you out.

Reliability, Flexibility and Speed

Powerful hardware and innovative software enable us to offer a superior managed hosting package with more options and services than are available with typical "bargain" hosting. In addition, we offer 99.9% guaranteed uptime, fast, redundant network connectivity through our Cisco®-powered Tier-1 Internet backbone, and state-of-the-art security features such as triple back-up, redundant power backup, and an advanced anti-hacking system.

Scalability

Our VPS solutions grow with you. You can easily add disk space, domains, POP mailboxes and email aliases. In most cases, we can make these upgrades to your configuration within 24 hours. Virtual Private Servers are available in two configurations - VPS Standard and VPS Pro. VPS Pro has enhanced resources, such as more memory and higher concurrent process limit, to make it capable of handling sites with heavy traffic requirements.

Whatever your requirements, we have a Virtual Private Server configuration that suits your Internet needs.
