What
is a Virtual Dedicated Server?
Virtual
dedicated servers offer many of the capabilities
and features of dedicated servers, including admin (root)
access and dedicated IP addresses, but at a much lower
price. However, as it is, indeed, virtually dedicated,
the customer in fact shares the server space with a small
number
of other customers. But because each is effectively isolated
from other accounts on the server, the user has full control
over the server
space. As well, virtual dedicated server plans feature
very high
performance and available disk space and bandwidth.
Virtual
private servers, which enable hosting providers to offer virtual
dedicated servers, are based on the concept of partitions
on mainframes that allow each division to function as a virtual
standalone server dedicated to a single customer. To ensure
high and reliable performance for all accounts, our server
boxes are
partitioned in such a way that each virtual
dedicated server operates almost entirely independently of
the other accounts that share the server space. This means
that you will enjoy consistent, high performance,
even when usage peaks on the main server.
Virtual
dedicated servers are particularly useful for
companies and individuals that run higher-traffic Web
sites or complex applications and thus need the bandwidth,
consistent
performance, and flexibility of a virtual
dedicated server. |
