What is a VPS?

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is intended for those clients who want a little more flexability than a shared hosting account can offer. Using Virtuozzo software from leading edge company Parallels, we are able to create multiple isolated VPS on a single physical server. Virtuozzo offers overall superior performance increases over its UML and VMware counterparts.

Our VPS packages are ideal for a developers who want all the benefits of a dedicated server, but without the costs.The VPS comes as either a managed or unmanaged solution. Our VPS hosting range also come with an optional PLESK licence, so this package might also suit a reseller or web designer.
