What is VPS Hosting
VPS stands for Virtual Private Server and in layman's terms it a piece of server software that stores the data and files of your website and serves them to web browsers.
Unlike Shared Hosting where you may share server resources with multiple other websites, VPS Hosting provides you with your own vitual server with all resources dedicatied to your website only.
A virual server can be thought of as a private, encapsulated partition of a physical server which behaves for all intensive purposes as a stand alone-server.
Our VPS and network infrastructure is monitored by a team of engineers, located close to our data centre 24/7, 365 days a year - Monitoring that is backed by an industry-leading 99.9% up-time guarantee on all network infrastructure.
VMware technology
Our VPS Hosting is a clustered, auto-failover network, built on IBM Blade servers and managed by VMware which instantly replicates the machine elsewhere within the network to prevent downtime if any issues are detected.
Enterprise grade
With brand-new blade servers featuring state of the art Xeon CPUs and fast memory, along with IBM nSeries NAS storage systems, ensures faster I/O and eliminates one of today's common bottlenecks in server performance.
Linux or Windows
You have the choice of one of our Linux distributions, which has the option of WHM cPanel, or Windows server environment images which have been optimised for security and performance.
Snapshot backups
We snapshot your VPS daily and each backup includes all the files within your virtual machine, including disks, memory and other devices.
Scalable to support growth
Our VPS Hosting has the ablity to vary resources when you need them - Start from 1GB of RAM and as you grow it's easy to scale up to 8GB VPS.
SSH enabled
We can provide you with full secure root access to your VPS, giving you the power and flexibilty to install whatever you need to, based on individual customer needs.

Do I really need VPS Hosting?
If you have a website which is currently on shared hosting and your site has become more and more popular with increased web traffic and ecommerce transactions, it may be time you had more disk space and bandwidth to cater for your growing business
In addition, your website may require deployment and/or use of software which is not available through shared hosting.
-
What is the difference between standard VPS and Cloud VPS?
With standard VPS hosting a copy of your server instance runs in one physical server along a few others and with minimal to no hardware redundancy.
Cloud VPS is more reliable because when there’s an issue, our management software VMware, instantly replicates your VPS elsewhere within the network to prevent downtime and ensure 100% availability.
-
Are virtual private servers secure?
Yes because each VPS Hosting account has its own isolated or dedicated resources such as RAM, CPU and memory and because of this isolation, your data and processes are more secure in their own virtual environment in comparison to shared hosting.
-
