What is Virtual Dedicated Hosting?
Also known as a Virtual Private Server (VPS), Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS), Virtual Environment (VE), or Virtual Machine (VM), virtual dedicated hosting gives you an isolated OS and unique filesystem to install and deploy customized software and applications. While others are sharing your same physical machine, you have your own isolated environment with guaranteed available RAM and CPU power.
How is VPS hosting better (or worse) than shared hosting?
VPS Hosting gives you more control over every aspect of your OS environment, enabling you to install custom software and protecting you from other users who may otherwise hog resources on a shared server. With OpenVZ technology guaranteeing you CPU, RAM, and burstable RAM, you'll enjoy a much more stable environment. However, the down-side for many is that it is much more difficult and time-consuming to administer a private server of your own.
Can you Administer and Monitor my VPS?
Yes, for $49.98 USD / month we offer a fully managed service where we treat your VPS like our own server and hook it up to our internal monitoring systems, install custom software for you, and fix services like httpd, bind, mysqld, etc.. when they break.
Can I run Mongrel, DRb, and other static processes?
Yes of course - with root access you have the freedom to install and operate custom software yourself.
