What is VPS

More than your typical shared hosting environment however, a VPS server shares hardware and network connections while providing dedicated privacy, performance and flexibility. What this provides is a sublime balance of the two; the dedicated server hosting features you need at a fraction of the cost.

VPS functions like a stand-alone server.

When logged in, you can command, execute and customize your server environment as if you had your own dedicated server.

Each VPS includes the following dedicated-like features:

• File System
• Users/Permissions
• Processes
• Full root access
• IP address(es)
• Firewall features (including Ports, Tables, Filtering and routing rules)
• Use of customized system libraries and configuration files

A VPS is designed to perform with SLAs in mind.

VPS servers are able to provide dedicated resources just like a dedicated server so that your website, application or other processes get absolute priority.

VPS does not equal VM (virtual machine).

A VPS is built as a layer of the host operating system. This limits the VPS OS to the OS of the host but provides greater efficiency as well as real-time resource allocations and more.

Guaranteed resources. Masterful control.

As you can see on our Custom VPS page, you can allocate and re-allocate VPS resources in real-time and on demand and without the help of a technician. Just point, click, upgrade!
