VPS (Virtual Private Server) has become the preferred hosting solution for small to medium sized businesses. VPS is a solution that effectively bridges the gap between the limitations of shared hosting and the flexibility of dedicated server hosting.
We have one of the larger and most advanced Linux clouds in US/Europe/Asia. We use the opensource program Xen and developed our own cloud management tools and High Availability systems. We have also developed a new SSD caching technique to make the harddisk of our virtual servers even faster. We completely control our own solution and are able to offer High Availability for an attractive price.
Our new Linux VPS is part of a physical server that is fully protected and secured. We offer several flavours of Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS etc.) and we can also install any desired Linux kernel.
What Is Virtual Private Servers (VPS)?
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is one step above shared server hosting. A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a hosting environment that combines the benefits of both shared hosting and dedicated hosting. It does this by creating a virtual server that runs inside a hardware server via a specially designed partition.
Each Virtual Private Server partition runs its own operating system in a secure and private environment and cannot be accessed or interrupted by its neighbors.
This system gives you the same level of root access as a dedicated server whilst sharing the cost of the hardware. With a VPS you are virtually running your own server but at a fraction of the cost.

VPS (Virtual Private Server) differs from a dedicated server in a number of ways. Firstly, while both options allow the installation of dedicated operating systems, a VPS will share a server's hardware and resources with other VPSs. This stands in contrast to dedicated server hosting that provides hardware unique to the user. This means that in most cases, a dedicated server can offer superior performance over a VPS since a dedicated server is never limited by resources or shared capacities.
Additionally, a dedicated server differs from a VPS in that it offers administrators greater control over server management and monitoring. A dedicated server is generally aimed at experienced administrators who are looking for higher flexibility, whereas a VPS may offer a less management intensive solution for less experienced admins. However, the dedicated server hosting options offered by us also include a managed hosting service where the 1&1 experts can also take care of any updates and patches.
You may perform system administration through SSH access on Linux servers or RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) for Microsoft servers.
We can also provide you with PLESK/CPANEL control panels to manage your web server / websites.
