If you are looking for greater control and performance than a Shared Hosting account can provide, or a low-cost upgrade path to a Dedicated Server, Virtual Private Servers deliver dedicated-sized performance at a fraction of the cost. They come with exactly the same features, autonomy and functionality of a dedicated server, and are suitable for a wide range of tasks such as application testing/development, multiple virtual domain hosting, high traffic websites or game serving.
Frequently usages of VPS are:
Designers & Resellers
VPS offers resellers a blend of highly reliable, low-cost dedicated resources, and a powerful interface with which to administrate their clients' domains, email, and manage other configuration tasks. You can choose to use the Plesk Control Panel to acheive this, or to configure your VPS yourself with root access solution.
Application Developers
Whether you are testing software, building a complex, database-driven application, or working on a bespoke development project, a VPS Root package is an ideal midway-point between shared hosting, with its inherent compromises, and dedicated hosting which may be too costly. Virtual Servers are highly practical for short-term, pre-launch projects as there is no minimum contract length. Post-launch, operations can move to a similarly structured dedicated solution, literally in minutes.
Game Developers and Game Serving
The online gaming revolution has arrived with the take-up of broadband, and now thousands of players regularly compete and team up online in games such as Half-Life and Counterstrike. Of course, to be able to host your own games, you need to run your own server, which is not only costly, but you are usually tied into an annual contract. VPS Root changes that - as you have root access to a virtual private server, you can use our HL/CS packages or install your own games and frag away to your heart's content!
Advantages of VPS
Control
- With the VPS Root package, you will be in complete control of your server partition and have full access to the configuration files for the system and app software. For VPS Plesk users you and customers have the ability to manage their domains, websites and tools extremely effectively.
Stability
- A seamless, extremely stable hosting set-up means that you spend less time sorting out issues with them, and more time on developing your business, and acquiring new customers. VPS solutions are built on TRUE VPS technology delivering carrier-grade levels of reliability and scalability that enable you to do just that.
Security
- In a Virtual Private Server (VPS) environment, it is crucial that your data is tightly partitioned from others on the server. The proprietary VPS technology creates an impregnable wall of protection around your server resources, protecting you from the activities of other customers.
Performance/Cost
- Generous VPS hardware specs are chosen specifically to cope with this intensive use, and contention levels are maintained at strictly specified levels for all VPS products. The bottom line is, you have a Virtual Private Server that operates exactly as if it were a single dedicated server. Because the costs of hardware, network connectivity, system maintenance and managed services are distributed amongst those sharing the VPS hardware, VPS represents an affordable choice that still delivers the performance of a dedicated server.
Flexibility
- Choose or upgrade to the VPS that covers the number of domains you need to manage, or that which best corresponds to your bandwidth & contention level requirements. If you outgrow VPS the progression to a fully dedicated solution is straightforward.
